Collect customer data<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-sequence-personalization\/\">email personalization strategy<\/a> begins with the right data. However, extracting this data can be challenging, as your visitors may include individuals with varying preferences, personas, and demographics.<\/p>\n<p>For a start, it\u2019s important to understand your target audience and how to engage with them. Afterward, you can collect develop a plan to help you collect relevant data that would be beneficial to your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But where and how can you find this data?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can capture customer information across several channels like social media, website, or email analytics. It\u2019s also necessary to gather more data from sources like online forms and surveys and enable integrations with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/glossary\/customer-relationship-management-crm\">CRM system<\/a>. This will give you a more detailed overview of individual customers at different stages in the buying process.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, your visitors may be reluctant to submit their personal information, so improving your brand reputation and trust will help reduce this friction. You can also grant rewards like discounts or other special offers to encourage them to fill in their details.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s necessary to collect vital information, keeping your forms short and simple is crucial, as too many fields may discourage and overwhelm your visitors. Ideally, you should only capture the necessary data your business needs. You can group your customer information based on the following:<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>1. Basic personal data<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Email<\/li>\n<li>Phone number<\/li>\n<li>Name<\/li>\n<li>Birthday<\/li>\n<li>Industry role<\/li>\n<li>Gender<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>2.

Segment your audience<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-audience-segmentation\/\">Email segmentation<\/a> involves fragmenting your audience into smaller groups based on the common attributes they share.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you own a pet store in Boston with an email list comprising cat and dog owners, you can create specific segments for these groups to send relevant emails and offers. So, each pet owner in that location will receive personalized content depending if they have a cat or a dog.<\/p>\n<p>Sending the same email to everyone in your contact list is not an effective email marketing strategy, as a majority of your subscribers may end up receiving irrelevant emails.<\/p>\n<p>Good customer segmentation, however, enables you to learn more about your audience, place them in specific groups, and send tailored content that speaks directly to them.<\/p>\n<p>Using customer data, you can create targeted segments based on demographics, user behavior and preferences, browsing history, etc. Ideally, the segments you create depend on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-marketing-strategies\/\">eCommerce marketing strategy<\/a> and business goals.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-emails-advanced-segmentation-strategies\/\">Read also: Advanced Segmentation Strategies for eCommerce Emails<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>3. Personalize your emails<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Email personalization for eCommerce goes beyond starting your email with your recipient\u2019s name. it can be as advanced as tracking your customer\u2019s purchase history and recommending relevant products to create seamless buying experiences.<\/p>\n<p>So, once you\u2019ve fragmented your audience into different groups, you can start by creating multiple email variations for each segment. There\u2019re several elements you can personalize in your emails and they include the following:<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>a. Subject lines and preview texts<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-email-subject-lines\/\">subject lines<\/a> and preview texts are the first elements your subscribers see before clicking to read the email content. So, no matter how creative or helpful your email is, a poor subject line will always hinder visitors from accessing it. In fact, Gitnux reports that <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gitnux.com\/email-subject-line-statistics\/\">69% of recipients<\/a> report an email as spam based solely on the subject line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-capture-2023-7-7.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45470 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-capture-2023-7-7.png\" alt=\"Subject line and preview text in email inbox\" width=\"869\" height=\"41\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-capture-2023-7-7.png 869w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-capture-2023-7-7-300x14.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-capture-2023-7-7-768x36.png 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/chrome-capture-2023-7-7-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 869px) 100vw, 869px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Personalizing your subject line doesn\u2019t end with including your subscriber\u2019s name, even though it has been reported to have about an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gitnux.com\/email-subject-line-statistics\/\">18% higher open rate<\/a> than those without personalization. Other strategies for creating targeted subject lines and preview texts include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Include their interests and preferences<\/li>\n<li>Add a location<\/li>\n<li>Use a recent activity or brand interaction<\/li>\n<li>Flaunt their achievements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>b. Content<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your customers will receive different email content types based on their preferences and brand interactions. So, your target audience and segments will determine if you should use a formal or casual tone; longer or shorter copy; larger or smaller font size, or other content variations tailored to a specific user.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you own a clothing brand, you can create multiple content variations to show menswear to subscribers with male preferences and womenswear to female subscribers. As more customers interact with your brand, you can create dynamic content that automatically updates with their preferences. Here&#8217;s a brilliant example from Adidas:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45475\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45475\" style=\"width: 724px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dynamic-content.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45475 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dynamic-content.gif\" alt=\"dynamic content in email example by Adidas\" width=\"724\" height=\"917\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/resources\/guides\/personalized-email\/\"><em>Source: Campaign Monitor<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In eCommerce email personalization, your content should be timely and relevant, like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/welcome-email\/\">welcome email<\/a> sent immediately after a new signup. Also, sending sports-related content to local farmers is irrelevant, even if the email comes in three minutes after their last interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Studies from OptinMonster reveal that <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/email-marketing-statistics\/\">74% of people<\/a> hate being shown irrelevant content. So, a pleasant customer experience involves sharing timely and appropriate content or offers tailored to your recipients.<\/p>\n<p>Your content can also include personalized images, gifs, and videos targeted to a specific segment or an individual. These visuals can differ based on location, product preferences, or engagement history.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong>c. Product recommendations and offers<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Personalized product recommendations and offers require advanced strategies because they rely on real-time customer data. Barilliance\u2019s study across 300 randomly selected customers showed that product recommendations accounted for up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barilliance.com\/personalized-product-recommendations-stats\/#:~:text=Personalized%20Product%20Recommendations%20Statistics%20on%20Revenue,-We%20conducted%20a&amp;text=Product%20recommendations%20account%20for%20up,to%20our%20product%20recommendation%20product.\">31% of eCommerce site revenues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding your customer preferences is key to creating personalized product recommendations and offers. You can track customer activities on your eCommerce site to find out their product or brand preferences, likes and dislikes, or purchase history. This data shows the list of products your customers will most likely buy, thus helping you create a list of recommendations to promote via email.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when Apple users browse and like similar products from the same brand, it shows they\u2019d most likely buy an Apple product on their next purchase. So, a good personalization strategy will include Apple products like Mac laptops, iPhones, Apple watches, etc.<\/p>\n<p>There are several product recommendation examples to help you target customers at different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/sales-pipeline-stages\/\">stages of the buying process<\/a>. These products include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Best-sellers<\/li>\n<li>Frequently purchased products<\/li>\n<li>Similar products<\/li>\n<li>New arrivals<\/li>\n<li>Complimentary products<\/li>\n<li>Trending products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also create personalized product recommendations during special periods of the year, like Christmas, Easter, Black Fridays, holiday offers, anniversaries, etc.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45468\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45468 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation.png\" alt=\"product recommendation email example by Donors Choose Org\" width=\"680\" height=\"1771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation.png 680w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation-115x300.png 115w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation-393x1024.png 393w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation-590x1536.png 590w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/product-recommendation-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reallygoodemails.com\/emails\/a-match-offer-to-restock-your-classroom-essentials\"><em>Source: Really Good Emails<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4.
