The flexibility of the Personas module is out of this world. You can adjust just about any attribute you can imagine. You can create very dynamic Personas to insure the absolute most targeted content is available to your visitors and build a stronger presence with them. This is some of the most powerful optimization you can add to your website to boost retention and conversions!

How do Personas work?

Each Persona is completely editable from name to description. Once people start visiting your website and browsing, they will earn points toward the persona they are most aligned with. Once they surpass the point threshold for the Persona (which you set), they will be assigned to that Persona.

This all sounds pretty good, but I’m sure you’re wondering how this can be leveraged. The cool thing about Personas is that you can set specific content that is relevant to each Persona. This takes website personalization to a whole new level!
