Hidden fields are a quick and easy way to personalize your content. If you already know your contacts’ information, Hidden Fields allow you to seamlessly incorporate any existing contact details into your landing pages, surveys or payment forms.
Engaging content has a place in every step of your funnel. While viral content gathers leads to pour into the top of your funnel, it is up to you to engage, nurture and convert them.
Personalizing your brand interactions is the most efficient way to get more sales. 40% of US consumers said that they have purchased something more expensive than they originally planned because their experience was personalized.
Hyperpersonalization should be a no brainer for every brand. But talking about it is easier than implementing it.
Making your forms and landing pages talk to people sounds like sorcery. If personalized brand interactions are so valuable, then it must be challenging to create them, right? Wrong.
The best way to take advantage of hidden fields is to start with a well-structured form. Use the involve.me AI Agent to generate your form instantly, then layer in hidden fields to personalize the experience for every contact.
With the right tools, creating hyperpersonalized experiences takes no time.
Here’s a list of things Hidden Fields by involve.me help you do:
1. Greet the Viewer by Their First Name
What’s the best way to get someone’s attention? Call out their name! Humans have a strong neurological reaction to their own names. According to a recent study, hearing your own name is so powerful that the human brain registers it even in a coma.
If you want people to pay attention to what you’re emailing them, put their name in it. It’s the bare minimum you can do to personalize their interaction with your brand. Hidden Fields makes it possible.
