Three Ways to Improve your Email Marketing
If you need ideas as to how to improve your email marketing, here are a three to get you started:
- Try personalisation! The obvious ways are names, birthdays, triggered emails by one of your customer’s online shopping. This is assuming you’ve got legal access to their data.
