Why using psychometric profiling in marketing?
Offering a personalized interactive experience is the main goal of marketing.
People love to feel special and unique, and when a brand personalizes its interaction with a user, creating content or offers targeted to their interests and preferences, the user feels valued and understands that the brand is making an effort to meet their needs .
Additionally, a personalized user experience can increase customer engagement and loyalty. When users receive relevant content and targeted offers, they are more likely to engage with the brand and maintain a long-term relationship.
Personalized marketing can also improve the effectiveness of campaigns, as targeted communications are more likely to drive conversions than generic, non-personalized messages.

How to do psychometric profiling in marketing?
There are several psychometric profiling options for marketing, and the choice depends on the information relevant to your industry and marketing objectives.
Unlike demographic profiling, which categorizes the public on the basis of “generic” variables, such as age and gender, psychometric profiling measures personality traits (such as: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism), detects interests and lifestyle of a subject, identifies possible opinions, beliefs and values.
In a nutshell, personality profiling allows us to understand why customers behave in a certain way.
Knowing what drives people allows you to design highly effective and targeted marketing campaigns.

How does psychometric profiling work in marketing?
The detection of the customer’s personality made possible by PortrAIt is based on the analysis of the function words used in speech, which identify the way in which one expresses oneself, without making judgments on the content; furthermore, the greater frequency of function words (adverbs, conjunctions, articles) allows you to obtain a result in real time, bringing an enormous advantage in terms of customisation.
Psychometric profiling allows you to detect character traits that indicate a propensity towards a particular communication style (logical vs emotional) or susceptibility towards gain/no gain or loss/no loss type messages.
This allows communication and marketing contents to be adapted to the user profile in a targeted manner. For example, if a user is more inclined to respond to emotional messages, you can tailor communication based on this preference.
Psychometric profiling does not stop at understanding the public, but goes further, identifying expected behavior and preparing the “next best actions” to be performed.
This means being able to anticipate the actions that users might take and prepare the relevant responses in a coherent and effective way. For example, if a customer has shown interest in a certain product, it will be possible to prepare an offer or incentive message specifically aimed at converting that interest into a purchase.

What are useful psychometric traits for marketing?
Drawing a psychometric profile means giving a unique description of the attitudes, habits and interests of an individual or group. It is a collection of consumer values and behaviors that tell us who would be most receptive to our company’s offering.
With “psychometric traits” we identify the psychological and cognitive attributes of a consumer that reveal his or her beliefs, values and goals.
In marketing, psychometric traits are used along with demographic data to understand and market consumer purchasing habits.
While demographics explain who your buyer is, psychometric traits explain why they buy. Demographic data includes objective data such as gender, age, income and marital status. Psychometric information includes subjective data such as belief systems, values, goals, and attitudes.
Some examples of psychometric traits useful for marketing can refer to the subject’s sensitivity towards a logical or emotional communication style, the ability to develop loyalty towards a brand, openness to innovation, tendency to perceive dissatisfaction towards people and products (churn risk).
