What is Personalized Customer Experience?
Personalized Customer Experience (CX) refers to using data, technology, and insights to tailor engagement, recommendations, offers, and services for individual customers.
It goes beyond addressing someone by name — it’s about understanding their preferences, behaviors, and expectations to deliver experiences that feel uniquely “for them.”
Examples of personalization in CX:
- Customized product or service recommendations
- Context-aware communication across channels
- Tailored problem resolution and proactive support
- Bespoke loyalty and retention programs

2. Fueling Customer Loyalty and Retention
- Companies leading in CX are 26x more likely to report YoY growth above 20% (Medallia).
