Performance Marketing Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All — Steps on How to Get Personal
Let’s face it: in performance marketing, fit matters. And while the old adage says “one size fits all,” anyone who’s tried on a hotel bathrobe knows better.
Mass messaging has its moment—brand campaigns thrive on reach, repetition, and recognition. You need broad appeal to build awareness and get people in the door. But as audiences move from casual curiosity to real consideration, that once-sizeable splash starts to lose momentum.
That’s when messaging strategy needs to sharpen.
Yes, personalization matters—but not in the “hundreds of custom landing pages” or “thousands of ad creatives” kind of way. (We’re marketers, not magicians.) The smarter play is to personalize with purpose: targeted where it counts, and tailored when it matters.
Smart Messaging Without the Overkill
Not every message needs a monogram. But if you want to guide someone from click to conversion, your content should feel considered—not canned. A few strategic adjustments can take your campaign from forgettable to finely tuned:
1. Know Your People. Use Your Data.
First-party data isn’t just a list—it’s a map. Use it to segment audiences by behavior, intent, or identity. Relevance starts with recognition.
2. Tailor Without Overengineering
You don’t need a new campaign for every segment. Often, small shifts—a sharper headline, a focused CTA, a tweaked landing page—do the heavy lifting. Be smart, not excessive.
3. Go Dynamic, Stay Nimble
Dynamic creative lets you adjust your message in real time based on user behavior, location, or device. It’s personalization at scale—no extra headcount required.
4. Strategize, Then Scale
Not all touchpoints need personalization. Focus your efforts on the places where it drives meaningful behavior change. Start small, test, then expand where it makes a difference.
