Additional Details:

With 2019 holiday shopping season planning already underway for retailers, there's a great opportunity to maximize engagement for each and every shopper.

"Personalizing the customer's experience increases purchasing," Kodali wrote². "Personalized content that adds value and simplifies product discovery will resonate with digitally sophisticated shoppers who are familiar with [a] brand."

To inspire e-commerce marketers with real-world ideas, strategies and examples, Newegg's Liu will detail how NeweggFlash – the "flash-sale" division of Newegg Inc., one of the web's oldest, largest and most-trusted discount retailers – applied data-driven and AI-based personalization during the 2018 holiday season. Attendees will hear about NeweggFlash's results, lessons learned and what the business is planning for 2019.

The webinar will also help e-commerce marketers make sense of the immense amount of customer data available – and show how to distill it to deliver personalized, 1-to-1 experiences in real time, on a massive scale. Machine learning, a form of AI, holds the key. Recent data shows that retail and other marketers are increasingly adopting this AI-based approach – using predictive analytics and algorithms that keep getting smarter to drive measurable improvements in conversion rates, customer experience and other key business metrics.

"After years of 'made-for-you' playlists and recommended movie queues, consumers are now conditioned to expect personalized experiences," Saati said. "It's incumbent on retailers to deliver, and machine learning can help. By prioritizing personalization in their holiday strategies, retailers will be in a better position to engage customers during the hyper-competitive shopping season. Retailers need to plan now for how to easily aggregate, synthesize and activate their customer data, to yield actionable insights that fuel holiday sales goals."
