Hyper-Personalized Email Campaigns

Before you craft an email for your customers, you have to start it by analyzing your customer’s buying habits and their preferred services or products because the best way to personalize your email is by crafting one that relates to their behaviors. It’s all about knowing the basics, remember to include their name and as the icing on the cake, add a personalized remark.
