Do consumers want personalization? Yes. But are they experiencing it? Not really.

A January 2018 survey by Bazaarvoice polled more than 1,000 US digital shoppers who self-identified as having digitally shopped in the past month for products in various verticals, including apparel and accessories, as well as home improvement.

But while many said personalized homepages that showcase the products they may be looking for—or might like—are useful, few said they experienced this.

For example, 52% of digital shoppers looking for sporting goods products said they would like to see a personalized page showcasing them. Yet just 29% said they experienced such a homepage. Similarly, while 44% of respondents said a personalized apparel homepage is helpful, just 23% said they’ve experienced it. And that was the case for all categories analyzed.
