How to Personalize Smart Blocks™
Even more personalization is possible with Smart Blocks™. Learn how to use these blocks to deliver personalized email tailored to each reader.
It wasn’t all that long ago that personalizing emails meant adding the reader’s name at the top and calling it a day. And while that’s been effective for a while, today’s consumers demand more from brands.
You need to go beyond basic personalization. Instead, emails tailored to the reader—from top to bottom—will help you stand out. Smart Blocks™ make it easy to get hyper-personalized with the emails you send.
If you’re looking for ways to add more personalized messaging to your emails and drive clicks and conversions, Smart Blocks™ can help.
Dive deeper into personalization in email
The customer journey is everything today. No consumer wants to feel like a nameless, faceless number in your email list. But traditionally, it’s been hard to personalize at scale—there are too many manual updates, code changes, and starting and stopping campaigns to make fixes.
However, segmenting isn’t enough. It gets you part of the way there, but you still can’t personalize on a really deep level. That’s where the Zembula platform stands out. You’ll have a variety of opportunities to personalize emails automatically.
Combining Smart Blocks™, Smart Banners™, and Smart Kickers™ means you have a perfectly personalized email from top to bottom. And not only that, the personalization is data-driven; it’s not just there for the sake of it. That’s what we call performative personalization. It’s using customer data through the right messaging to drive action and increase revenue.
How to add more personalization with Smart Blocks™
Smart Blocks™ play a special role in personalizing your customer emails. Now, you’ve got multiple options to add dynamic blocks throughout your emails. That lets you pick the messaging that most stands out to the readers and encourages engagement.
Personalizing Smart Blocks™ is easy and automatic. It pulls in zero-party customer data, which you can use to supplement other customer information, such as their shopping and browsing history.
Here are a few different ways Smart Blocks™ help you increase personalization in email.
Have you considered whether you are using your readers’ names enough? With name personalization, you can add Smart Blocks™ with the reader’s name, calling attention to product recommendations, reviews, and loyalty updates.
In this example, name personalization is used to draw the reader to revenue-generating Smart Banners™ and Smart Blocks™.
Another way to capture the reader’s attention is to have your emails move through personalized animation. Smart Blocks™ are dynamic, so they can include animated images and text. Now you’ve got another way to get shoppers interested in what you’re selling.
For this email, the Smart Blocks™ feature a product with rotating images. The blocks also highlight recommended products based on customer shopping history.
Loyalty information is another great use for Smart Blocks™. If you have a program, you need to speak with the members regularly — too many brands forget that. So having a loyalty Smart Block™ ensures you aren’t missing out on providing vital information.
Use loyalty blocks with other promotions and recommended products, and show readers how to use their points to purchase items in their carts. These can pack a one-two punch and increase conversions and revenue.
