Room & Board worked with Monetate to create different testing and personalization capabilities that would be driven by the retailer’s customer data and large product creative library. Starting with small tests on their homepage, Room & Board quickly experienced lifts in performance, which led to expanded personalization across many elements of the website. With Monetate, Room & Board can deliver personalization to known customers, as well as new visitors, with confidence and ease.

The frictionless nature of Kibo’s Monetate personalization solution also supported the Room & Board staff during COVID-19, when many people at home started to search for and buy more furniture and home decor. With the team working from home, Monetate allowed for easy creation and deployment of different personalization experiences that could be analyzed and adjusted in near-real time. The company plans to rely on Monetate’s machine learning to adapt and improve experiences as they roll out significant personalization expansion.
