Why Personalization Matters

Personalized emails consistently outperform generic ones. Marketers often see up to double the open rates and meaningful increases in conversions and revenue when content is tailored to customer interests or behavior.

Relevance drives attention. If your message aligns with the recipient’s world, they are more likely to notice and engage. For example, a snowboard image catches the eye of a snowboarder more than a skiing image. The same logic applies across your customer segments.


Personalization Beyond Images

Dynamic content helps you customize more than visuals. You can tailor offers, messaging, and product suggestions to fit each audience’s needs.

Examples

  • Show premium offers to high-value buyers

  • Offer lower-cost alternatives to budget-minded audiences

  • Suggest upgrades relevant to returning customers

If a guest books a standard room, an offer for a suite is relevant. An offer for a penthouse is not. Dynamic content keeps your message focused and realistic.

The Payoff

Every recipient gets the version of your message that fits them best. This means:

  • Higher engagement

  • More conversions

  • Stronger customer relationships

No space is wasted on irrelevant content. Every element earns its place.

Best Practices for Dynamic Content

  • Start simple Begin with easy wins like swapping images or headlines. Build up to more complex logic.

  • Segment intentionally Use reliable segments and avoid over-complicating. Simple rules are easier to maintain and less error-prone.

  • Test and learn Run A/B tests to see what performs best. Use the results to improve future campaigns.

  • Keep it relevant Only show content that reflects the recipient’s needs, behaviors, or stage in the customer journey. Remove anything that doesn’t add value.
