  1. Make it personal.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

    Audience segmentation and dynamic content lead the way to creating personalized emails that resonate with consumers. Studies show that segmented emails drive 30% more opens and 50% more click-throughs than their unsegmented counterparts.

    You can even set up behavior-triggered emails, such as\u00a0<\/span>abandoned shopping cart reminders, which have been shown to convert three times more than other automated emails. Include targeted, personalized messages, taking into consideration everything from your subject line (grab that attention!) to custom product recommendations (show your audience you understand them!) to location-based events and sales.<\/span><\/p>

    Keep in mind that the most effective email subject lines will make users curious or excited to see what’s inside, and the most effective messaging shows your readers you have solutions to their problems. Combining these factors into extremely personalized messaging is known as dynamic content creation, and it is one surefire way of connecting with your audience via email.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
