10 Tips on Personalization in Account-Based Marketing

Personalization is crucial in Account-Based Marketing (ABM) and Account-Based Experience (ABX).

At its heart, ABM is about allocating marketing resources more precisely to a select group of accounts instead of a broad audience. You do this by leveraging insights about targeted accounts and the buying behavior of personas within each account’s buyer group.

Personalization is one of the magic ingredients in ABM.

The trick is how you use account and customer insights, intent, and behavioral data to tailor your marketing efforts.

Personalization has been proven to work, and it’s worth the effort.  Studies indicate that a personalized approach increases the likelihood of purchasers buying from and recommending a brand. Personalization is becoming an expected standard, and many B2B marketing leaders are prioritizing investments in content marketing and personalization technology.

So, how do you implement personalization in ABM?

Top 10 ABM Personalization Tips

1. Develop a Deep Understanding: Gain a comprehensive understanding of your target accounts, including their pain points, needs, and preferences. This will enable you to tailor your marketing efforts effectively.
