Email personalization is key for your Christmas marketing strategy

Catching the attention of your email subscribers during the stressing Christmas season is more challenging than guiding Santa's sleigh through a snowstorm. 

With the average person receiving more than 100 emails a day, including personal, work, promotional messages, and more, how can your business shine in the crowded inbox landscape?

Personalizing your emails is like hanging one-of-a-kind ornaments on a tree; it makes each message special and noticeable. In today's competitive wonderland, a personalized touch can make your emails as wanted as a delightful christmas dinner. 

Did you know that emails with personalized subject lines have a 20% higher chance of being opened than those with generic ones? It's like choosing a beautifully wrapped gift over a plain one.

But don't just stop at the subject line; the content of your email is the star on top of your marketing tree. Personalized email content has been shown to produce a 139% increase in click-through rates. With such good results, personalization isn't just nice to have; it's your secret recipe for success.

In this article, we'll unwrap how Clerk's AI-powered email tool can be your helper in enhancing personalization.

Utilize triggered emails to your advantage

When the customer interacts with your website in specific ways, such as abandoning their baskets, ordering follow-up products or signing up for your newsletter, you have many opportunities to present more products from your web store. 

You can trigger personalized emails for each type of action to retain your customers. 

Abandoned basket

When a customer adds a product to their basket but doesn't complete the purchase, it's like leaving an unfinished christmas wish-list.. With Clerk's email tool, you can create a triggered email that either reminds them of that product or, even better, suggests related items, like offering alternatives to a sold-out toy.

Order follow-up

The customer journey shouldn't end when the order is placed. Encourage customers to return to your store with personalized follow-up emails. Suggest new products, items related to their last purchase, or mix in a special holiday offer. The choice is yours, you can mix and match to fit your strategy.

Newsletter sign-up

A customer signing up for your newsletter is like someone hanging their stocking by the fireplace – they're hoping for something good. Don't just send a standard "thank you" email, fill it with popular products and turn it into a gift of its own. Show some of your most popular products to engage and inspire your new loyal customer.  

Turn transactional emails into an active sales channel

After a customer places an order, the normal flow consists of an order receipt, shipping information, and feedback request. Spice them up! 

With Clerk's email tool, you can personalize these transactional emails with recommendations tailored to their interests. This will not only result in increased sales, but also show that you care about the customer’s interests, encouraging them to come back for more. The customer will receive the emails anyways, so why not use this opportunity to your advantage?
