Behavourial PersonalisationPersonalisation based on an anonymous user journey or activities on site.E.g. Viewing multiple Utes could mean visitor is a “Tradie” persona
Profiled PersonalisationPersonalisation based on pre-existing knowledge of user. Could relate to customer entered data, CRM or social media profile. Allows triggered and out-bound personalised content
Social PersonalisationPersonalising the experience based on social shared contentE.g. Shared links from a BYO vehicle, shared outcomes from a social campaign such as Nissan’s FlashForward

In Summary
• Planning for personalisation via the DMS needs to happen early
• Define goals first
- Do different personas have different goals?- Or is the communication different, but the goal the same?
• Make sure content planning happens alongside goals
• Start with small changes that will yield big outcomes
• Build meaningful reports that will prove the value of continued personalisation and testing
