Personalized Emails: Why Are They The Most Persuasive?
Table of Contents
The retail world may have moved into a new decade full of innovation, but one thing that has retained its stronghold over communication even today: emails. The more personalized emails are, the better. In fact, about 73% of millennials prefer communicating with brands through email over other mediums. But how does one get past being left unread in the dreaded promotions tab? Can personalized emails go beyond promotions and make a difference to a brand’s bottom line?
This one’s a no-brainer, considering the number of tools available today. Simply plugging in their first name or acknowledging a special occasion—like a birthday—could be the difference between shoppers opening emails and leaving them in their inbox.
Less is more. And email marketing is one of the biggest examples of this proverb. Making emails more visual can help keep the word count low while showcasing products that are immediately relatable to the shopper.
Personas are passé. To strike a chord with shoppers, retailers need to know them on a 1:1 basis. Highly personalized email content, especially product recommendations, that are personalized for every shopper, are the way to go. 65% of email marketers say dynamic content is their most effective personalization tactic. That said, only 39% of online retailers send personalized product recommendations via email. What if AI could come to the rescue?
Vue.ai’s personalized email solution is the world’s first AI-powered, visual preference-driven tool that allows retailers to follow shoppers, right into their mailbox. Built on artificial intelligence, the solution understands behavioral triggers and visual affinities of shoppers to provide highly relevant product recommendations through email. This ensures that shoppers convert and come back for more.
The email recommendations are a part of Vue.ai’s Personalization suite that can power 1:1 personalization across channels, taking into account every shopper’s preferences. This, along with the shopper’s browsing history and category and brand affinities go into their Shopper Profile.
The AI uses Shopper Profiles to serve personalization in emails. These product recommendations are rendered in real time when the shopper opens the message, and this makes sure that they always see the most relevant and in-stock recommendations.
For a fashion resale marketplace based in the United States, 3.3% of the total visits to the site comes in through Vue.ai’s email recommendations.
