TFG was aware of recent advancements in AI technology that would open up new ways to connect with customers. However, since conversational AI is still a new technology, TFG had concerns:
As customers’ desires for personalized experiences in digital commerce grow seemingly by the day, marketers across the world rely even more heavily on A/B testing to deliver these experiences.
But A/B testing for conversion rate optimization is limited. Only one out of eight tests drive significant change and only 33% of marketers regularly use A/B testing or multivariate testing. Many organizations do not have the right marketing technology solutions to consistently deploying these tests.
But, as bimago learned, what A/B testing really does is it ignores the preferences of some segments and leads to missed opportunities to drive revenue. A/B testing allows you to understand what your audience prefers but does not always allow for your audience to see the portion of the test that was chosen as preferred.
Bloomreach Engagement’s contextual personalization can fill in this gap and allow each individual customer to see a personalized variant.
Time is of the essence for every company in today’s market. But for Abo and his team, when you have 15 brands in six different markets, efficiency is essential.
Abo’s team wanted to get away from manual processes so it could reach the incredible volume of customers Alshaya serves on a daily basis. Previously, the team used a combination of multiple tools with tiresome processes to send a campaign. This meant it spent far too much time working with each tool.
One of Alshaya’s key objectives is to become truly customer centric. To do this, an all-in-one solution that would allow the team to produce marketing campaigns at scale was needed — one that would support Alshaya’s omnichannel strategy.
Canadian Tire desired to stay relevant with its customer base and provide the best possible experience for its consumers as they navigated the depths of its vast product catalog. It needed a more efficient way of powering relevant search experiences that would drive online revenue.
STAUFF openly admitted that it had quite a few business challenges to overcome while attempting to rev up its digital transformation initiative. The company was aware that new technology was needed, but they didn’t have an in-house development team, and in turn, had no idea where to begin the nuanced and complex transformation process. As its customers continued to expect manufacturing partners — like STAUFF — to be easy to do business with and personalize buying experiences, the B2B brand could no longer put their expectations on hold.
These customer expectations were as vast as they were varied. For instance, its maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) customers wanted real-time order status information (e.g., tracking) and instant checkout without any barriers, while the distributors STAUFF worked closely with were seeking quick-order functionality for large quantity orders and seamless access to partner assets.
Finally, its original equipment manufacturers (OEM) customers now preferred cohesive technical consulting interfaces with rapid prototyping services. The various customer necessities combined with the company’s pain points quickly accelerated STAUFF’s need to digitally innovate efficiently and effectively.
Apple announced new privacy-focused features for Apple Mail that impacted the way that many companies did business. In particular, this affected key areas such as targeting, personalizing, and evaluating emails.
The privacy-focused opt-in stops senders from using pixels to collect information about users. It also prevents senders from knowing when users open an email and masks their IP address so it can’t be linked to other online activity or be used to determine their location.
Great for user privacy, but not so great for companies relying on email marketing.
musicMagpie noticed the shift away from third-party cookies, especially once Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) launched. musicMagpie had the proper foresight to realize they would lose a lot of valuable data.
For musicMagpie, cookie limitations meant the possibility of making the wrong strategic decisions, experiencing higher costs per acquisition, falling short on personalization, and lacking intel on the proper budget allocations. If the company wanted to continue to offer limitless customer experiences, it would need to make some adjustments.

With a lean marketing team, an audience of diverse, dedicated fandoms, and dozens of product drops every month, Sideshow needed to deliver marketing campaigns that were fast, relevant, and effortless to execute.

To keep pace with demand and personalize its messages across channels — without adding complexity — Sideshow adopted Affinity, Bloomreach’s autonomous marketing solution.
