Dynamic Yield The Personalisation Powerhouse.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dynamic Yield is primarily a no-bottleneck tool we use to personalise content on our website. Although the initial CSS set-up takes time, the payoff has been very fruitful. Unique customisable templates, quick hotfixes on webstore enhancements, and a large variety of campaign types that can be previewed and published in real-time make Dynamic Yield the ultimate game-changer for tailored experiences. Not only will guests see content relevant to them, but this can also be tweaked over time through testing methods that utilize slick components, allowing for effortless measurement. Dynamic Yield also takes A/B testing to another level; users can split allocations beyond just the 50/50 threshold. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Additionally, a powerful dynamic allocation method can be applied, whereby components with higher engagement will take precedence, making them more prevalent. It solves the business problem of not having enough data-driven actions, without requiring the involvement of a complex development team. Dynamic Yield has shifted from becoming a tool we occasionally use to gather insights to a business necessity imperative for making data-driven decisions.</span>

Pros

  • Dynamic allocation.
  • Addressing cart abandonment issues.
  • Affinity-based targeting.
  • Pop-ups and banners.

Cons

  • Brand templates could need complex CSS/custom code.
  • We'd like to see a little "i" next to specific labels, which elaborates on what is meant. For example, when I hover over "Dynamic allocation," I get something like "An advanced form of A/B testing where the best-performing variations receive higher traffic."
  • Jargon (for example, for audience targeting) can be overwhelming for new users; therefore, clearer, user-friendly explanations are needed.

Return on Investment

  • 20% increase in bookings from repeat visitors due to retargeting efforts.
  • Pop-ups appearing after a short idle time recapture users by up to 35%.
  • 17% higher CTR through A/B testing on various component types (like dynamic content, overlays, visual edits, multi-touch).

A great testing and personalisation product

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dynamic Yield is a great tool that enables you to really scale up A/B/n testing and personalisation in a way that a smallish company by themselves wouldn't be able to achieve. The interface is self-explanatory and has some great options for targeting and audience creation. Having previously used Google Optimize it was easy to move over.

Pros

  • A/B/n testing to ensure new features are adding value
  • Audience creation to select specific groups of users to target
  • Personalisation to change the site depending on the type of user

Cons

  • Implementation was more involved than with Google Optimize

Return on Investment

  • By running A/B tests we can ensure we're driving value and not having negative impacts

  • We're able to launch features that we weren't able to do before such as Basket Builder.
