How can personalized content lead to better results? And what are the product content trends of the future?

These are questions which we set out to answer in the infographic below. While the majority of technical writers choose to rely on the tried and tested practices of the field, artificial intelligence has revealed itself to be where the future of the industry lies. Your ability to deliver - or fail to deliver - personalized content to each individual user will be what separates you from your competition in the near future.  According to the 2018 Salesforce report, 'The Power of One Click: How AI is leading Personalization into the future' - the ability to provide a more personalized experience leads to significantly higher user satisfaction and loyalty. With 72% of users expecting vendors to personalize engagement to their needs. The key to taking full advantage of this solution is the willingness to adopt new technology solutions that will enable you to deliver this personalized experience.
