Why personalize your newsletters?

The importance of personalizing email marketing campaigns is often overlooked. However, it offers real advantages.

Personalizing your newsletters to enhance your company’s image

Creating personalized newsletters can be part of your marketing and communication action plan. By targeting the interests and preferences of your recipients, you can send more relevant messages that are more likely to be appreciated. In fact, by personalizing your email campaigns, you can attract new prospects and capture their attention on your company. Prospects are more motivated to open and read newsletters that are specifically tailored to them. Personalizing your newsletters improves the relevance and effectiveness of your advertising campaigns, making it easier and faster for your business to achieve its commercial objectives. Furthermore, by offering a personalized experience, you can stand out from the competition and get noticed by prospects.

Personalized newsletters to foster customer loyalty

If a prospect sees that your company takes their interests and purchasing habits into account in the newsletters they receive, they are more likely to become attached to your brand. Customers feel valued and appreciated when they receive personalized newsletters, so they become more interested in your business. In addition, if you send personalized newsletters with attractive visuals and dedicated messages addressed only to the recipient, they are more likely to flag the message and revisit it later. This method helps to increase engagement with your recipients, encouraging them to maintain a relationship with your business. By personalizing your email campaigns, you can offer your recipients offers, services, or products that are tailored to their profile directly in their inbox, which promotes customer loyalty as you show them what interests them or what might interest them based on their purchasing habits.

Prerequisites for personalizing your newsletters

Personalizing newsletters is an action that requires some prerequisites, which are detailed below.

A comprehensive database

It is essential to have a well-organized contact database in order to personalize your newsletters effectively. It is also crucial to have up-to-date databases to ensure the deliverability of your future automated campaigns. The more data your contact list contains for each contact, the more you can personalize your email campaigns. This information can be diverse, such as first name, last name, age, gender, company, position, frequency of purchase, date of last purchase, etc. All of these data points will allow you to create variables that can be used to send personalized emails to each recipient in your contact database.

Understanding the GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data protection law that is based on three main pillars: Responsibility, Transparency, and Trust. This regulation ensures that only necessary data is collected for the intended purpose and prevents abuses. It is mandatory to define a specific purpose for any processing of personal data, which means that you should not collect or process information simply because it might be useful in the future without a clearly established objective. It is mandatory to inform each person who subscribes to your contact database about what data you collect and their rights regarding data protection. Additionally, you must offer your recipients a clear and distinct option to unsubscribe from your newsletters.

How to personalize your newsletters?

Use your brand identity

To personalize your email campaigns, you can use your brand identity to incorporate your brand image and extend it across different channels. You can use your logo, website colors, and create a customized email campaign. Our solution offers an interesting tool called Smart Templates that allows you to create newsletters based on your brand identity. Using your colors and logo helps the recipient recognize and remember your company.

Use variables: first name, gender…

In compliance with GDPR regulations, you can personalize your newsletters using the data collected from your contact database. To do this, you can create variables such as first name, last name, gender, etc., in order to send an email that starts with, for example, “Hello [contact’s first name].” It can also be interesting, for example, for a clothing company to send a newsletter featuring their “Men’s Collection” to male contacts in their database. Our tool also offers conditional blocks in the email builder that allow you to display different content in the same block based on different variables.

Personalize the content

You can also collect the date of birth from your contacts in order to use this variable to send them a birthday email with a discount code for your website through a newsletter, for example. Don’t forget to personalize the subject line of your email as well, as it is an important detail to avoid ending up in spam. It’s also interesting to use a personalized email address instead of a generic one such as “contact@company.com,” as it creates a sense of closeness with the recipient. You can automate these campaigns with variables such as “date of birth” to make relevant mailings to your subscriber list. Additionally, Our tool offers a feature called “predictive sending” that analyzes your contact’s behavior to send the email at the time when they are most likely to see it in their inbox.
