According to a survey from ChoiceStream, the biggest retail spenders and most frequent shoppers are more interested in - and much more likely to click on - ads that are personalized for them vs. non-personalized ads.
Results from the 2008 Personalization Survey (pdf) show that 39% of consumers overall are more likely to click on an ad if it is personalized, while that number rises to 58% among those who shop online at least several times a month, Marketing Charts writes.

The study also investigates how consumers are influenced by ads and just how much savvy online shoppers really know about new media marketing techniques.
