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 as much personalisation without going overboard to help your messages and promotional material become all the more meaningful.
