Here’s a small primer on why:
-
Emails with personalized subject lines are opened more than twice as often as emails without them.

Introduction
The first thought the word “advertising” brings to your mind might be “wide reach”. Your may imagine a magazine, billboard or TV advertisement, which is viewed by millions.
But what about personalized advertising for online marketing? A more one-on-one tone?
Targeted email campaigns are aimed at a specific group of people and have a personalized touch.
But you need to send the emails to the right people to get the desired result. You might use the content: “Hi George! Our fabulous barber shop, in your locality, is offering discounts on haircuts.“
Except George is bald and doesn’t need a haircut.
Enter personalized emails.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Fortune company, tech company, or energy company – personalized email marketing is a good idea.

What can you do to personalize your email marketing?
Here are some email marketing tips:
-
Personalize subject lines: Calling a person by their name has been shown to build trust. Use your client’s name in the subject line.
-
Let users set preferences: Allow your subscribers to decide what they want to see. For example, if you write blogs, let them choose their preferred subjects, such as ecology, business leadership, child psychology, etc. Set the options in your email’s footer.
-
Use data: Tailor your email content to the subscribers’ age, gender, and location.

Send trigger emails: Automated emails can be triggered according to users’ actions. For example, if she has abandoned a shopping cart, you can send her an email as a reminder that her goodies are awaiting her.
