What is RMC Target? 

Targeting allows you to display different campaigns and content to different customer segments in real-time.

RMC's Behavioural Targeting uses real-time data from the interactions your visitors are having with your website, mobile site and mobile app for advanced audience segmentation, to deliver personalised content, messages, offers and recommendations. Onsite and in-app behavioural data are constantly and automatically collected, and used alongside other customer data to determine which content and offers are most relevant for the visitor in that moment, resulting in an optimised experience that converts. You can also set RMC to collect unique events such as cart value, onsite search, form, or login input, and many other custom KPI's for better segmentation, personalisation and user experience.

How does it work? 

RMC's Behavioural Targeting offers a powerful solution that allows you to quickly and easily deliver targeted content, messages and offers to your audience based on their location, likes, preferences, past behaviour, search intent and more out-of-the box characteristics, for a completely personalised experience in real-time that drives higher conversion rates.

Audience targeting and customer segmentation is achieved with a rules-based logic.

Rule-based targeting uses parameters you establish to target based on specific criteria.

You can segment visitors based on anything Target knows about the visitor, including how the visitor reached the site, geographic data, onsite behaviour attributes, customer parameters, and more.

RMC offers an extensive library of customisable out-of-the box parameters. Below, are few examples of the behavioural parameters you can base your behavioural targeting campaigns on:

• Site behavioural data (past and real-time)

• CRM data, easily integrated into RMC

• Technologic information such as the browser, operating system and device

• Past purchases (Recency, Frequency, Monetary Value)

• Pages they viewed, and length of visit

• Registered visitor or not

• IP address

• Geofences

Take action: dynamically change and add to your site based on your visitor segmentation.

Change the rotation order and display of promotional banners, insert pop-ups, custom javascript, product recommendations, and many more customised elements. Make changes to your page, delete, re-write and alter any design element. Also create automation workflows with follow-up email, sms and push notifications.

Optimise performance

Run customer focused A/B and Multivariate Tests to measure and optimise overall campaign impact. Review campaign results, and make adjustments to offers, content, messages and design elements to get the most out of your personalisation efforts. 

RMC Target core features 

• Anonymous and Authenticated Visitor Profile

At the heart of Target is the RMC visitor profile. From the moment visitors enter your site, they are telling you about themselves and starting to build a dynamic profile. Even before they begin interacting with your content, they are providing valuable signals. Geographic location, referral source, the search term that got them to your site are some examples of data that can be leveraged to personalise a potential customer's experience.

• Behavioural Tracking and Targeting

RMC Target captures everything you need to know about your visitors from the moment they first enter your site with a rich set of data that is continuously tracked and stored, including behavioural characteristics, purchase data, geo-location, weather, device type and more. With this in hand, marketers can visually build Targeting Rules directly through RMC's visual editor and target each and every visitor with content that’s more relevant and meaningful.

• Segmentation

Leverage insights from current and past session behaviour along with internal and external data sources to segment anonymous visitors and known users in real-time.

• Scoring

You can attribute a score to the actions of your visitors on your site - such as pages viewed content downloaded or banners clicked - to identify your sales-ready leads and your highest value visitors for real-time targeting. See Scoring for more information.

• Geofencing

Send targeted messages to your app users when they enter or exit a pre-defined geofenced area. See Geofencing for more information.

• Performance or Rule Based Banner Management

Automatically determine the order and display of banners based on banner performance (CTR, revenue or conversion) or a set of pre-defined prioritisation rules to deliver optimised and targeted content on your website, mobile site or mobile app in real-time. See Banner Management for more information.

• Recommendations

Automatically display products that might interest your customers based on previous activity and algorithms. You can also send recommendations in an email following-up a pre-defined targeting action. (Recommend module is required).

• Testing

Use A/B or multivariate testing and get valuable insights you can use to deliver optimal web experiences for customer segments that yield more conversions and revenue. See A/B Testing for more information.

• Built-in Reporting

Each Targeted Action you create is monitored by RMC for standard metrics such as impressions, clicks, conversion and revenue, which are available in the Performance Dashboard (Target > Performance Dashboard). You can easily share the results of your personalisation campaigns by email or by exporting your data into a .csv file.
