Start small with your contextual marketing efforts. Use it sparingly in one area to begin with. Contextual marketing is an advanced marketing tactic. There are many ways to use it, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the possibilities. Keeping this in mind, what advice would you give to someone looking to get started with contextual marketing?
Start small by leveraging data collected during onboarding to provide personalized and valuable content that aids their smooth transition through the buyer's journey.
Something like suggested additional information based on basic information given and processed, Something like Shopping suggestions based on a choice of like style choices previously made by the visitor.
Start with basic personalization techniques, such as tailoring website content based on user behavior or sending personalized emails based on subscriber preferences.
One way is to not personalize for the sake of personalization. You should personalize in a unique way and a way that helps you and your potiental customers.

I have an online business, and I'm looking forward to its growth.
Keeping this in mind, my first step in contextual marketing will be to gather all the information I have on people who have recently researched products. I'll create an informative blog to help address their concerns and turn that research into sales—since they may not have purchased due to a lack of information.
Lastly, I'll promote the blog via email marketing and social ads to those who showed interest but didn’t buy, to test whether this strategy effectively converts sales.
An example of contextual marketing could be showing personalized ads based on the pages or products a user has viewed. For instance, if someone browses skincare products, they might see related ads on other websites.
Instead of focusing on relatable or personalized content for the users. Your content should be focused more on the value that gives to the user and it should be easy to understand instead of using more business language. If users doesn't get value from your content they will leave you in a second.
Contextual marketing can be incredibly effective when used strategically. My advice for someone starting out is to focus on one high-impact area, such as personalized email campaigns or dynamic website content. Begin by leveraging data you already have, like user behavior or preferences, to create tailored experiences. As you see results and grow more confident, you can gradually expand your efforts into other channels. Simplicity and focus are key to mastering contextual marketing early on.
I'd recommend delving into understanding your audience, maximising the use of analytics, and creating appropriate personas before venturing forth with personalisation.
Contoh: Seorang pelanggan baru saja membeli mesin kopi. Beberapa hari kemudian, mereka menerima email dengan tips merawat mesin kopi serta rekomendasi produk seperti biji kopi premium atau filter tambahan.
Konsep: Email dirancang berdasarkan riwayat pembelian untuk menawarkan konten yang relevan.
An example of contextual marketing is when you browse specific items on an online store, and then the system automatically displays relevant recommendations or similar products on the homepage or throughout your browsing experience. This personalized approach leverages your browsing history or behavior to show content that aligns with your interests or previous actions. It enhances the user experience by offering more tailored suggestions, increasing the likelihood of engagement and purchases. For example, if you’re shopping for running shoes, you might see related items like workout gear, socks, or sports accessories appear as recommendations, making it easier to discover products that meet your needs.
