1. Increased Focus on Personalization<\/b><\/h2>\n

With approximately <\/span>333 billion emails<\/span><\/a> being exchanged every day, brands must take into account that most of their subscribers experience inbox fatigue to some degree.

Now, there are many ways to implement personalization, but the first, and most foundational thing, you need to do is to segment your email list. Divide your contacts into different sections based on a slew of different parameters like age, gender, occupation, browsing patterns, past purchases, interests and preferences, and the like. What this does is allow you to identify the diverse range of buyer personas interacting with your brand and formulate unique content for each. In 2023, one can expect to see machine learning being increasingly summoned to shoulder segmentation. Why? Because with it you can use interest-based tags to automatically gather data on recipient\u2019s interests based on the links they interact with in your emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Acceleration in the Adoption of Customer Data Platforms<\/b><\/h2>\n

Most notable among them are Apple\u2019s MPP announcement and Google\u2019s insistence on third-party cookies.

3. Rise in Popularity of Modular Email Templates<\/b><\/h2>\n

Most businesses fail to capitalize on high-traffic periods due to increased email production demands. This problem can be combated by using modular templates. Using these templates can improve email efficiency during high-traffic periods. This is because they have different blocks for specific purposes. So first, you create a modular template, one that contains blocks that will be common to all your emails. Then, depending on the type of email you wish to send out, you simply have to slice and dice the remaining blocks and obtain the template of your choice in minimal time.<\/span><\/p>\n
