EVERGREEN IDEA: THE "Hey <First Name>"
Customers like it when you speak directly to them, as opposed to a mass audience. Focus on collecting enough customer data to personalise your emails directly to them to boost conversions and improve open rates.
You may be familiar with using first name metrics in the body text of your email, but did you know that you can also do so in the subject and preview text?
Add just the right amount of personalisation—without going overboard—to make your messages and promotional material feel more meaningful and engaging. Email by Design can help you craft personalised campaigns that truly connect with your audience and drive results.
