First-party Data in the Spotlight

Sestili has observed a shift towards prioritizing the collection of and leveraging first-party data. First-party data refers to data a company has obtained directly from their audience and includes things like demographic information, social media conversations, and customer survey data. 

The collection of first-party data enables brands to have a direct and deep understanding of their audience, allowing them to make more informed decisions about their CRO program. Moreover, it often serves as the backbone to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)-backed website personalization tools. A fact which leads us to our next trend…

AI and ML will Make CROs’ Lives Easier

Although there is often a looming fear that AI will replace jobs, or even that robots will take over the world, Sestili is sure that’s not the case. In fact, she posits that AI-driven tools like ChatGPT and Writer will actually make marketers’ lives easier, freeing up their time from tedious work so they can focus on broader strategy.

For CROs in particular, AI can dynamically change the webpage or landing page a visitor sees based on the digital footprint someone leaves when visiting a website. This can be used to create highly targeted campaigns that have a higher propensity to convert. Simply put, AI = more conversions.

Marketers Will Advocate Internally for CRO

According to Sirius Decisions, 67% of B2B marketers do research before coming to a site to engage with a sales rep. With staggering numbers like these characterizing the world of digital marketing there’s no denying that brands’ websites will continue to reign supreme in 2023.

Because of this marketers will advocate for CRO to aid with the personalization of the visitors they already have coming to their site. Implementing website personalization can lower the overall customer acquisition costs (CAC) and can help increase overall revenue.
