Dallas – To engage and retain readers, news publishers must find ways to satisfy customers’ specific needs, interests, and habits through new personalization practices, according to a report released on 29 September by the International News Media Association (INMA).
Per the report, as news publishers begin understanding how to better provide personalization for customers, they can implement new practices that yield measurable results.
“Best Personalisation Practices for News Media” draws readers deeper into the world of personalization, giving detailed examples of what news media companies around the world have done.
The report covers –
*How consumer expectations have been altered and shaped by such companies as Spotify and Netflix.
*The two types of personalization — active and passive.
*Where personalization should take place.
Gone are the days of the “average customer,” the report says, and personalization is no longer optional, but rather a necessary component for success. To delight customers, publishers must know what customers’ needs are and determine the best way to meet them.
