Summary
Although personalization is a theme that has been present in the retail industry for decades, it has become more prevalent and important to consumers in recent years. This increase is tied to the rise of online shopping. A consumer’s shopping experience in a store can easily be made more personal, such as through interactions with store staff, but retailers have had to actively innovate to create personalization in the online space.
Key Highlights
Consumers are also increasingly individualistic, especially Gen Z, and want products that are specifically targeted to their needs and goals. These consumers are often willing to pay a premium for such items. This is another reason for the increased interest in personalized products, although this is not a new phenomenon, such as with tailored clothing.
Personalized products are currently especially prevalent in the health & beauty sector, due to the links to the health & wellness trend, which is also particularly important to young consumers.
Personalization is a clear focus among retailers’ online operations. Amazon has set the bar high in defining how retailers can personalize a shopper’s journey, with others investing to keep up.
