Customizing Internet Marketing

Revision with unchanged content. An organization is often required to implement some form of Personalization as part of its Customer Relationship Management efforts in order to gain a competitive advantage within its industry.

This goal is often accomplished by developing a method to organize and analyze consumer demographic and psychographic data, in an effort to discover trends in the purchasing behaviors of specific customer segments.
