Is your website acting like it’s on a first date instead of an anniversary dinner?

personalization? What is
![Page 5: Web Content Personalization: Three Case Studies](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081720/5466a22cb4af9fce288b4684/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
“The combination of a ‘person’ and a bunch of ‘alization’”.
“…involves using technology to accommodate the differences between individuals.”
“Delivering the right information, to the right people, at the right time, in the right format and language.”
![Page 6: Web Content Personalization: Three Case Studies](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081720/5466a22cb4af9fce288b4684/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Person alization (Machinery that measures, analyzes, and eventually partially or fully automates content delivery)
(Business or website owners, content writers and editors, UX folk. NOT the end user.)
![Page 7: Web Content Personalization: Three Case Studies](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081720/5466a22cb4af9fce288b4684/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
When not to personalize
When you have a crappy website
When you don’t have a
UCD program in place
When you have a great website (but there’s no value add)
![Page 8: Web Content Personalization: Three Case Studies](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081720/5466a22cb4af9fce288b4684/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When you might consider personalization:
To surface relevant content that a user would otherwise not know to look for
To identify high profit customers and then make them more profitable
To partially or fully automate more effective marketing to users or audience segments
Key: add value above and beyond an already high-performing site or app
![Page 9: Web Content Personalization: Three Case Studies](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081720/5466a22cb4af9fce288b4684/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Key Steps of Personalization
Measure! Traffic, user feedback, customer inquiries,
sales data, user demographics—anything
that will help you make measurable improvements.
![Page 10: Web Content Personalization: Three Case Studies](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081720/5466a22cb4af9fce288b4684/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Develop and Test Develop and test these improvements. Start
simple. Collect data on what works. Refine.

And then, if you’re like an awful lot of folks, you’ll click on the first organic result, which is breastcancer.org…

Risks of Personalization…
Breastcancer.org
Case Study 1
Overly negative and/or poorly targeted research articles
Too much info about advanced new treatments that they were “missing out on”
Users unable to report their own diagnosis information accurately

Case Study 1
Metadata for personal profiles was made possible by adding structure to already in-use signature information

How it works
Push personalized content to users based on profile info: Email Website content RSS (in funding)
Breastcancer.org staff create rules for content metadata and personal metadata overlap “fingerprints” that add value

Why Personalization is Important
Allows breast cancer patients to fully understand their diagnosis—making them more likely to question their doctors.
Provides extra information that users would not necessarily know to look for via search or navigation.

Formulary data (drug coverage across states, health plans, and tiers) is populated by a team of pharmacists that keep the database up-to-date daily via another piece of the application.

Why Personalize? Pharmaceutical corporations do
their marketing everywhere.
To convince doctors that a drug
is cheaper than an alternative.
Pharmaceutical sales reps can
tailor printed marketing materials
to individual doctors.
