Seeing trends shift in online buying

I’ve noticed a significant uptick in personalized marketing tactics lately. Brands seem to be using data to target ads more effectively, and I found that I’m more likely to click on something that feels tailored to my interests. Has anyone else experienced this shift in their online shopping habits?

I totally get that! I’ve noticed brands using my browsing history to send me personalized ads, and it makes me more inclined to check them out. Just the other day, I received a tailored email for a sale on shoes I’d been eyeing, and I couldn’t resist.

I’ve also noticed it, especially with those tailored ads popping up in my feed. Makes me wonder if it’s worth it for brands to invest more in data tools. @elijah2063, have you found any brands doing it particularly well?
