Guitar Center increases recognition by 50%

How Guitar Center increased visitor recognition, enriched customer profiles, and unlocked more effective personalization with Acxiom Real ID.

July 14, 2026

With 90%+ anonymous website visitors in the U.S., Guitar Center knew digital recognition was a critical unlock to realize the value of personalized experiences, increase conversion rates, and improve customer lifetime value. To move away from a vendor with limited transparency, they sought a partner who could integrate data and identity solutions with their existing martech stack.

Guitar Center partnered with Acxiom to deploy digital recognition and identify anonymous website visitors, resulting in a 50% lift with Real ID. By integrating with their existing Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Guitar Center can re-engage audiences via personalized email, with a new level of control and transparency.

“Acxiom Real ID integrated seamlessly into our existing stack
with minimal implementation effort. Within a few weeks, we
were able to transform previously sparse web signals into a
