Here are 3 simple ways to start personalizing your customer experience with AIQ:

1. Audience Segmentation based off of Intelligent Timing & Predictive Analytics

Using AIQ’s Intelligent Timing feature, you can identify when certain customers are more likely to engage with your brand and shop at your store. Creating target Audience Segments to deploy ongoing campaigns that leverage this intelligent timing feature ensures that data is being used to your advantage when connecting with customers.

Surveys are a great way to collect information from your customer base, giving retailers a better understanding of how its shopping experience is translating to customers. Using AIQ Surveys, users are able to generate custom feedback flows that help gather necessary information required for data-based decision making.

An effective way to deploy these surveys is through AIQ’s ongoing campaigns. Including surveys in post-purchase messaging that auto-connects to customers enables these forms to be sent to customers in a timeframe that feels organic, optimizing the number of submissions you’re likely to receive.
