Hello David and team, 

 

My name is Trey Villagomez, and I have been working with Do it Best, a US-based hardware, lumber, and building materials buying co-op, for about two years. Our team implemented the switch to the Adobe platform for our e-commerce website about a year ago. Along with implementing Adobe Experience Manager, we have been increasing our use of Adobe Experience Platform and AJO. Since the shift to Adobe, my role has changed vastly. I will primarily focus on aspects of AJO and AEP, including audience management, campaign and journey planning, content messaging, email reporting in CJA, and personalization within Adobe Target. 

I look forward to learning more and expanding my skills in this area while learning some of the best use cases and processes for these systems.

Hi Trey,

Great to meet you.  I look forward to hearing more regarding your use cases.  Some quick questions for you:

 

1. Are you planning to use AJO for any site content personalization or will you primarily use segments to enable Adobe Target or do you have another strategy for helping Target personalize?  I ask because I would like to use some of the AJO content creation capabilities for site personalization, but we manage all of our site content directly through Target and AEM.

2. Do you trigger messages in channels other than your site like Paid Media or email from RT-CDP?

 

Thanks,

David

Hi @davidbarnes11

Right now, we rely heavily on AJO to send email campaigns and journeys. This mainly consists of general sale emails, abandoned cart journeys, etc. I believe we will primarily use segments to enable Adobe Target. Because our site is focused on e-commerce, it is managed primarily by AEM and Adobe Commerce (Magento). My history is mainly as an email marketer, not a coder or designer. 

I hope to implement SMS messaging into our AJO platform in the coming months so we can expand to texts and emails. I have also used AJO to create segments for targeting social media ads but have had little success. I have not used it much for content creation, as I work with a team of web designers who manually code our customer-facing emails.

Great to meet you, Sayyam.  Do you have any exposure to AEP or RT-CDP?  And do you have a sandbox available for learning and testing?
