Hi -

1) How can we ensure that automated personalization aligns with our brand's messaging and customer experience goals while adapting to individual user preferences?
2) What are the potential challenges or considerations to keep in mind when implementing automated personalization, and how can they be addressed effectively?

Hi everyone, i have a few questions but i am new, and i am not quite sure it fit well the subject here.
Actually, i'm doing a master thesis in which i try to understand the impact of Ai-powered personnalization on conversion and retention stategies for b2b SaaS.

1. From your experience, what are the key factors that B2B SaaS companies should consider when customizing AI models within Adobe Target to drive conversion and retention? How do you tailor these models to reflect the complex customer journeys typical of B2B engagements?
2. In B2B SaaS, customer journeys can be lengthy and involve multiple stakeholders. How can Adobe Target’s AI-powered tools adapt to these dynamics to deliver relevant experiences at each stage of the customer journey?
3. Data privacy is a critical concern, especially in the B2B SaaS sector. How does Adobe Target ensure that its AI-powered personalization respects and upholds data privacy and security standards?
4. What are some common pitfalls B2B SaaS companies encounter when implementing AI-powered personalization strategies, and what best practices can you recommend to avoid them?

Last one : Could you provide any data highlighting the significant differences, especially in terms of conversion and retention rates, between traditional personalization strategies and AI-powered personalization (if possible, within the B2B SaaS marketing context)?

Our team has run a few auto-target and auto-perso campaigns with mixed success. I understand that you need a minimum 5% CTR for whatever the goal metric is. I've found that trying to increase clicks can be redundant and does not necessarily increase revenue. I believe it has been mentioned previously that revenue can be set as a goal metric. My question is: Can revenue be set as a goal metric, and is there some minimum threshold such as RPV?

Rajneesh_Gautam_

New Participant

hi @8863909 -thanks for your question! Yes, you can use RPV as goal-metric. While using any goal-metric has some traffic + conversion requirements, RPV is bit more restrictive. Here's a screenshot of these requirements from Adobe documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target/using/activities/auto-target/auto-target-to-optimize

Hi - Quick question on AT implementation. - Sorry below question is not related to webinar but wants to check with @drewb6915421 @rajneesh_gautam_

Adobe Target with Google Analytics 4. - Can we use Adobe Target TnT ID for audience segmentation purpose based on web behavior data? If yes, how this works when profile lifetime 14 days (by default) and extendable up to 90 days. What are the ways to re-target user after 90 days and show the personalization activities? And use of TnT is a best practice?

Rajneesh_Gautam_

New Participant

hi @gokul_agiwal - thanks for the question! If Adobe Target is the only tool you are using (this means you do not use Experience Cloud service) then using TnTId is the best practice. Please use Adobe Target as first-party-cookie. As long as TnTId is used, you should be able to use all profile related features, including profile-lifetime.

For retaining visitors' profile beyond 90 days of inactivity, I will recommend exporting the data and upload in Customer Attributes.

Gokul_Agiwal

New Participant

Yes, not using ECID but as you suggested will see Customer Attribute and also thinking to look into profile API. Thank you @rajneesh_gautam_

In the new Target UI there is checkbox that allows to filter on "Auto Target with Custom Model". What is this and where can I find more information on this?

@niocolasmerielI will need to dig into this! We do have the ability to ingest a custom model with Auto-Target, but it is not an out-of-the-box feature so I will need to dig into how this is done. Stay tuned!

@rajneesh_gautam_ , @drewb6915421 , and @shelbygoff Below is a helpful clarifying question from the Webinar Q&A:

Is there any way to use only particular segments to use the test instead of blockList?

Rajneesh_Gautam_

New Participant

You can block specific attributes/feature or entire feature-sources e.g. AAM, GEO but not the specific segments.

@rajneesh_gautam_ , @drewb6915421 , and @shelbygoff : Here is another question from the Webinar Q&A to share with folks here who might be wondering after watching the 3/12/24 Webinar Recording:

What data is AP using to personalize? Is there a way to customize it?

Rajneesh_Gautam_

New Participant

Adobe Target uses multiple data points collected by Adobe Target, Adobe Experience Cloud tools (AAM, RTCDP) and external data uploaded via Customer Attributes and RTCDP. The page below provides a comprehensive list of all data-points used: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target/using/activities/automated-personalization/ap-data

You can ask Adobe Target to exclude some of the attributes/features from personalisation-models using the blockList API: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target-dev/developer/api/models-api/models-api#_blank

Thanks for joining us today @Drburns27 @Rajneesh_Gautam_ and @shelbygoff 🙂 This question came directly from the Unlocking AI Powered Personalization Webinar Q&A:

Is the ability to constrain or exclude for a specific activity found within the Target UI?

Rajneesh_Gautam_

New Participant

You can use blockList API (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target-dev/developer/api/models-api/models-api#_blank) however its not available within the Adobe Target UI. I believe its a really good idea to raise under the Ideas section of Experience League

Amelia_WalianyAuthor

Thanks for joining us today @Drburns27 @rajneesh_gautam_ and @shelbygoff ! The question below was posted by @coops

From what I'm reading it appears that in the activity type I don't set the audiences, I just allocate all traffic. Then the algorithm works out which experience each individual customer would prefer based on their attributes. That correct?

Having a debate with someone experienced in using Auto-Target and they say the human determines the audiences and the AI simply works out which pre-defined audience prefers which experience.

@amelia_waliany @coops I agree that the human can determine the audiences evaluated within an Auto-Target activity, as it evaluates audiences from your audience library, but the random forest ensemble also assembles its own audiences that it discovers as predictive during the course of its evaluation (up to 4 attribute combinations) which it provides in our Target Segment Discovery report.

niocolasmeriel

Hi all, I wonder if when using Auto-Target it makes more sense to use Target as Reporting source rather than Analytics in order to obtain the 2 additional Reports inside Target? (I assume those reports are not available via A4T?)

Amelia_WalianyAuthor

Employee

Indeed it is and thank you @niocolasmeriel for joining! What burning questions do you have for today's hosts? CC @rajneesh_gautam_ @3068898 and @shelbygoff 🙂
