GfK, NRF publish personalization white paper

 

lnsights from GfK Consumer Life, FutureBuy® illuminate consumer motivations, concerns

Personalization lies at the core of digital targeting, DTC campaigns, and a host of other high-profile marketing tactics. But effective personalization requires a clear understanding of consumers’ wants, concerns, and motivations around this growing trend.

To guide stakeholders of every kind, GfK and the National Retail Federation (NRF) have published a new white paper, “Decoding the Personalization Paradox,” to help brands apply personalization at scale.

Drawing heavily on insights from GfK Consumer Life, as well as GfK’s annual FutureBuy® shopping report, the white paper reveals:

  • three major societal trends that are driving the desire for personalization, and
  • how brands can leverage these trends to optimize their marketing strategy and tactics.

GfK’s Joe Beier (EVP, Consumer Insights) and Rachel Bonsignore (Senior Consultant, Consumer Life) – who co-authored the white paper – delivered a presentation based on these findings this week at the NRF NXT conference in Las Vegas.
