Personalizing your Emails

Email personalization is a technique to make your emails more intuitive and also more interesting. It can help you increase your email open rate as well as success rate of your campaign.

There is a huge difference between an email sent without any personal information and those with personal information. If you address the recipient by his name instead of valued customer the recipient will feel better and the chances of him reading it is more as compared to you addressing him as valued customer.

Think about sending large amounts of personalized emails – if you have to do that manually it would take lot of time and will be not be easy, but with MailsDaily, its easy.

You will just need to create your email content with special personalization tags. That’s all and MailsDaily will do the rest, merge those tags for each recipient’s information and deliver the email.
