In this series, we cover the common pitfalls all marketers face at some point when scaling personalization in their triggered marketing. From emails to mobile push notifications to SMS to display retargeting, the common platforms used today to market across channels begin to lose efficacy when organizations try to personalize their communications to an ever more complex and growing customer base.
When you build out your company’s personalized marketing landscape you soon find your volume of messages increasing exponentially. As you set up re-engagement campaigns along the customer journey, the volume of messages across all channels can quickly add up to 10 or 15 different messages. Of course, that doesn’t mean you send them all 10 of these messages in one day or even a week. Customers feel overwhelmed if their inbox is flooded with one particular company emailing them again and again. Message overload is a sure way of ending up in your customer’s spam folder or worse, unsubscribing from all your communications. This rapid deluge of communications to your customers is our pitfall #3.
