Today, we're diving into personalization techniques in email marketing. Who can tell me why personalization might be important?
It makes the emails feel more relevant to the recipient, right?
Exactly! Personalization can increase engagement. One easy method is using merge tags. For example, using 'Hi {{first_name}}' in your email can make it feel personal.
