    How we can help

    At Epsilon and Conversant, we offer true personalization through complete, actionable views of millions of consumers built from years of real-time and historical data across 7,000+ online and offline attributes.

    We help brands personalize every interaction—reaching the right person in the right channel and sharing personally-relevant content, products and offers at the best time and with the optimal frequency.

    Methodology

    The study, ”The power of me: The impact of personalization on marketing performance,” was conducted in collaboration with GBH Insights, a full-service marketing insights and custom analytics practice. The online survey asked 1,000 consumers—ages 18-64—about their attitudes toward personalization and sharing personal information. To dive deeper into the relationship between personalization and actual purchasing behavior, we then linked the survey data to transactional data from Epsilon’s Abacus® Cooperative database. Any reference to ’consumers’ refers to responses from the survey and doesn’t necessarily reflect the views of the general population.

    * Percentages include net responses for those that answered ”very/somewhat well” or ”much/somewhat more likely”. See the detailed survey for more information.
