Özet

The widespread use of social media has rendered it a critical arena for online marketing strategies. To optimize conversion rates, the landing pages must effectively respond to a visitor segment’s pain points that they need solutions for. A one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate since even if the product meets the needs of all consumers, their priorities may diverge. In this study, we propose a pipeline for creating personalized landing pages that dynamically cater to visiting customers’ specific concerns. As a use case, a pipeline will be utilized to create a personalized pharmacy discount card landing page, serving for the particular needs of chronic diabetic users seeking to purchase needed medications at a reduced cost. The proposed pipeline incorporates additional stages to augment the traditional online marketing funnel, including acquisition of salient tweets, filtration of irrelevant ones, extracting themes from relevant tweets, and generating coherent paragraphs. To collect relevant tweets and reduce bias, Facebook groups and pages relevant to individuals with diabetes are leveraged. Pre-trained models such as BERT, RoBERTa, and sentence transformers are used to cluster the tweets based on their similarities. GuidedLDA exhibits superior performance in identifying customer priorities. Human evaluations reveal that personalized landing pages are more effective in getting attention and building attraction by addressing their concerns and engaging the audiences. The proposed methodology offers a practical architecture for developing customized landing pages considering visiting customers’ profiles and needs.
