Though most agree that email personalization is a good thing, there are varying views on how and when to use it. Some encourage you to personalize all your messages, no matter who you are sending it to . There are also voices warning that personalized emails may look like SPAM and end up in junk folders.

Don’t be naughty-be relevant this Xmas!

The Team thinks we need to sing this jingle one more time…not because you begged for more, but because we think “relevance” is extremely important, but the topic can be a bit abstract and therefore easily dismissed. So what is “relevant” content?

We think it means information “pertaining to” or “applicable to” or (my favorite) “useful” to the recipient. For example, using your email analytics and behavioral stats to customize product offers, messages, template designs and conversational style to appeal to certain audience segments. In other words, the complete opposite of the “batch and blast” or “spray n’ pray” type emails of the early days, right?
