Test&Target;—Increase Content Relevance

Description

Omniture® Test&Target;™ 1:1 is now Adobe® Test&Target™ 1:1, powered by Omniture®. Adobe Test&Target empowers online marketers to personalize the presentation of content and offers that a visitor may find most relevant and compelling—increasing the likelihood of engagement and conversion. With Test&Target; 1:1, marketers can automatically target individual site visitors rather than pre-defined visitor segments. Test&Target; 1:1 is part of the Adobe® Online Marketing Suite of applications for online business optimization

Business Challenges

With large volumes of anonymous online traffic, marketers find it difficult to determine which content or offers are relevant to individuals. Instead, marketers rely on broader segments or personas, losing out on the opportunity to match offers to individual preferences. In addition, progressing individuals through the conversion funnel requires marketers to present relevant content across multiple online interactions. Personalizing content and offers specifically to individuals helps accomplish this goal and, in turn, increases returns on visitor acquisition spend by improving conversion.

Adobe Test&Target; 1:1 is the innovative leader in personalized targeting and solves these challenges by providing the following benefits:

  • Measurable increase in revenue to businesses by targeting and personalizing content to individual online visitors
  • Self-learning algorithms that minimize the investment required to target individuals with personalized content and offers
  • Facilitation of visitor progress into the conversion process by better engaging them early on with relevant content
  • Fully-automated targeting that allows marketers to focus on creating compelling content and offers rather than on segmentation and targeting
  • Customizable content serving can be optimized to any of several key performance indicators, including revenue, conversion and click-through rate.
