Tips for effective email campaigns by February 14

Holiday emails have two key goals: to drive sales and increase audience trust. How to achieve this?

Audience segmentation

Segmentation is one of the most important aspects of a successful email campaign. The main segmentation options are as follows

• By gender: separate emails for men and women.
• By purchase history: taking into account the interests of users and their previous purchases.
• By site behavior: analysis of visited sections and clicked buttons.
  
• By interest: creation of thematic offers: “gifts for him”, “gifts for her”, “neutral”, “for yourself”.

Personalization also plays an important role. If you have subscriber names, use them in your email subject lines.

Catchy subject line

To ensure that your newsletter doesn’t get lost in the inbox, the subject line should be interesting and catchy. Use:

• Numbers: “5 gift ideas for your loved one.”
• Timing: “3 days left to Valentine’s Day!”
  
• Intrigue: “We know the secret to the perfect date!”
  
• Allusions: hints at well-known phrases or facts.

Add emojis to help attract attention, shorten text, and convey emotions.
