INDIANAPOLIS – Global digital marketing leader ExactTarget, a salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) company, unveiled its new predictive analytics capabilities for the Salesforce ExactTarget Marketing Cloud today, expanding its ability to deliver personalized 1-to-1 digital marketing.
“Contextual Delivery And Cross-Channel Analytics Revolutionize Digital Experiences”
Powered by ExactTarget’s iGoDigital personalization technology, the expanded predictive analytics capabilities will enable marketers to leverage predictive product recommendations and content to create personalized experiences throughout the customer lifecycle.
“Digital marketing is transforming business by connecting companies and their customers through highly personalized experiences,” said Eric Tobias, vice president of ExactTarget’s Web products. “iGoDigital’s new capabilities will enable marketers across all industries to deliver relevant experiences, create brand advocates and increase engagement.”
In addition, ExactTarget announced new features to iGoDigital’s suite of personalization products including:

- Integration with Journey Builder: Interact with customers when they are most likely to convert, purchase or engage with your brand by sending personalized content in real-time.
“As customer interactions spread across numerous inbound and outbound channels, companies increasingly call on analytics tools to provide visibility into a multichannel funnel spanning the entire customer life cycle,” wrote Anjali Yakkundi, analyst at Forrester Research, Inc. in the April, 2013 report entitled “Contextual Delivery And Cross-Channel Analytics Revolutionize Digital Experiences”. “Customer analytics technologies, like recommendations engines, behavioral targeting and predictive analytics, should serve as the foundation for personalization efforts across channels.”
