An email campaign is  the most essential offsite touchpoint for delivering seamless brand experiences. With an unmatchable $37 ROI on the dollar, a well-drafted email gives you a significant, measurable impact on engaging your user base. As such, designing a truly delightful email experience should not just be a means of communication but rather should best a strategic asset to create a seamless extension of both online and offline shopping experiences. 

With the focus shifting from “Open Rates” to more modest, granular metrics like Reading Time, Engagement Rate, Conversion, with a continual spike in interests and ever-changing audience expectations, drafting an engaging email experience is not an easy nut to crack.

Shooting out an email that your “average audience” might resonate with, proffering a “one-size-fits-all” recommendation has become a lesson better made for history books. If you are trying to speak to everyone, you are effectively speaking to no one. Your audiences now want to see what’s in it for them with every email they receive, and consider opening. Say hello to an age of “to each their own” email or, in other words, “individualized emails,” offering “dynamic experiences.” 

Insider’s Email functionality enables you to optimize personalized emails by including interactive experiences that entice your audience to perform real-time actions. Our turnkey email solutions apply our modular editor that enables capability design that prepares you for the evolving demands of your more  discerning audience at market speed.

So just like Legos, you can treat every part of your email in our editor as modules. You can reuse and repurpose different sections.

Every module can be treated differently with uniquely adaptive styles and formatting options. 

Here’s how you can use Insider’s Email to craft dynamic, interactive, and responsive emails with ease.

Dynamic personalization for your 1:1 email experiences

Pandemic realities gave rise to a digital revolution. One that spiked the significance for using personalization to deliver better email experiences. In particular, local and global brands leveraged personalization to think beyond the box of “first names.” As a result, they began to individualize content at scale, using Insider’s Email Editor smart features like segmentation, dynamic content, conditional blocks, and personalized recommendations.

An optimal means of  ensuring individualized email experiences is to start with segmentation: delivering the right content to the right kind of customers  at the right time. In this way, business brands can hyper-target users based on personal affinity, behavior, events, and past email engagement findings. 

Beyond the Hello: Thinking past first names with Dynamic Content 

After prepping your target audience, the next step is to include the best content for a truly 1:1 experience. Personalization has come the distance from including first names to crafting contextual emails with attributes that stay true to individual customers. Insider’s Email tool allows you to add dynamic content with user and product  attributes, dynamic images, and targeted content personalization. By leveraging dynamic content, you can re-enter the last browsed item name, talk about their cart items, reverse exit intent by showcasing the last-viewed product, and offer personalized discounts.

Create smarter emails with Email Editor Conditional Blocks

Give your emails the superpower of felt personalization with conditional blocks. You can apply conditional blocks to specific modules to better discern  that type of content best broadcast to a specific audience. Take the instance where you are launching a new designer line for your eCommerce website: you want the launch email that showcases the women’s collection for female subscribers specifically. Using conditional blocks, you can ensure that only a  female audience views that collection for the launch.

Menus are a great way to make your website more readily accessible. Strategically place menus on your Email to take your audience to a specific website page.

Include rich, roll-over effect media 

Insider’s Email Editor is design-centric and allows you to create rich email experiences seamlessly. The image library provides centralized access to all the uploaded images. You can also include dynamic images like last-seen product, item in the cart, among others features. The roll-over effect lets you provide a customized experience when the user hovers over the image. This is especially handy for e-commerce platforms to feature zoomed-in experiences.

Create an authentically responsive experience

The final step towards ensuring a truly engaging email experience is to create auto-responsive emails based on the device used. Responsiveness plays a significant role in making sure that the email experience does not render broken. Insider’s email editor automatically makes your Email responsive with a button-toggle. 

Also, you can resize your headings separately for mobile experiences so that the content looks well-aligned and appealing. You can also test the responsiveness of your Email on over 80+ devices and email clients using the spam test option. Creating a responsive email not only boosts engagement but also ensures deliverability and good inbox placement.
