The Path to Personalization Have you heard us talking about personalization A LOT lately? That’s because there’s a lot to unpack with personalization, and each piece of the puzzle is equally important. To better understand the steps in the personalization process, we broke it down into 4 pillars; user segmentation, lifecycle mapping, workflow building and dynamic content and talked in depth about each pillar during our Path to Personalization Virtual User Group Series and Personalization Week here in the community. Take a look below at all of the conversation and resources we offered during Personalization Week. _PLUS!_ You have until Friday, October 9th to participate in these conversations and get the prizes offered.

If you make a marketing mistake, don't sweat it and learn from Drizly When done right, personalization can be a very engaging and powerful tool, when done wrong (by accident!) it can leave your subscribers scratching their heads and wanting more. Drizly knows this all too well when back in May they accidentally sent out this “personalized” email without any of the actual personalization. No first name, no personalized recommendations, just a whole lot of “Lorem Ipsum” and “xxx”. Ouch. The Apology This is the very scenario that keeps email marketers up at night, but instead of sending a canned and formal apology, the Drizly team took the opportunity to show that their brand has a personality and a sense of humor. Drizly quickly followed up by sending out an apology email, but this wasn’t your standard “oops we made a mistake“ email, this had everything. From the eye catching “lol. wtf was that.” subject line, to poking a little fun at themselves, blaming the dog, and lastly,

Wrapping up personalization week Now that you understand these “Core 4” pillars of personalization, keep this in mind: Personalization is ultimately a long-term strategy that takes time to develop. In fact, according to Gartner, “Only 40% of marketers report having a clear personalization strategy and roadmap.” With the four pillars we’ve covered this week, think about your current process and consider how you might strengthen each one through customer data collection, campaign automation, experimentation and other factors. We’d love to hear what you all have found most valuable from our Path to Personalization events; from our user group series, our AMA with Garin, and all that we covered this week in the community - share what you’ve learned! And because we love giving away swag to our customers, share and get an Iterable water bottle! Lastly, just because Personalization is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean the conversation is over, we’re here to help each other and Iterabl

One of our amazing CSMs @Tasmin Singh shared this tip during our Dynamic Content user group yesterday, and it was so well received that I wanted to share it with the community. Take a look below, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to let us know in the comments, we're here to help! Day of the Week Snippet Here’s a quick tip for upleveling your email personalization while reducing the amount of work you have to do! The best part is that it doesn’t require further data input if you’re looking to get to the next step after Hello {{#if firstName}} {{firstName}} {{else}}Friend{{/if}} You can create a snippet or amend this content directly in your email content to display something different to a user depending on what day of the week it is. One note here: if you use this in a snippet for a subject line, make sure to edit the snippet to remove all additional text markup such as < p> and < br> so that it renders correctly: {{#ifEq (now format="u") 1}} Today is

Let's Talk Dynamic Content “Content,” in the marketing sense, is usually the de-facto standard for judging how personalized something is. It’s certainly an effective indicator, but as you can tell from the other three pillars, personalization comprises much more. Content is a visual representation of user, event, product, and service data come to life through merge tags, connected data feeds and APIs, and dynamic data relationships through tools, like Iterable Catalog. Level of personalized content sophistication—a marketer’s ability to transform their data input into personalized output—typically falls somewhere within one of these three levels: Level 1 Reactive personalization derived from user attributes and event data. It’s a one-to-many approach and is applicable to large audience segments. These are the easiest tactics to implement using customer attributes like first name, event milestones (e.g. birthdays), or system events like cart abandonment. Level 2 Proactive persona

Let's Talk User Segmentation Any marketer worth their salt knows what segmentation is and why it matters—51% of us recognize it as our most effective personalization tactic. Dialing in exactly which customers you want to want to reach is the first action step of any campaign. Modern marketers have more access to customer data than ever before. But without a modern application strategy accounting for this new depth and breadth, falling back on legacy segmentation strategies like basic attributes, general lifecycle, RFM targeting, among others, seems like the easiest choice to make. Instead, let’s redraw the lines of demarcation between segments and push customer data further. Top-line demographic and behavioral data as segmentation filters only scratch the surface—understanding contextual data to understand customer motivations is the new segmentation playing field. With a more sophisticated segmentation strategy in hand, identifying key audiences and the types of resonant content

Now Available: July 2020 Product Updates From the Iterable Blog Integrate Iterable with your React Native app With most consumers using their phone for four hours a day, the importance of a mobile app cannot be overstated. Rather than create a native app for all the different platforms that exist, like iOS and Android, your development team can use React Native to easily build one beautiful app that works across platforms—which benefits marketers, too. If you’ve ever had to wait for a campaign to go live because your app was in an approval process, then you know it can be frustrating. With React Native, new versions of your app can be deployed as needed, which means that any campaigns or app changes can go-live exactly when you need them to. Want to learn more about Iterable’s support for React Native? Read this post on Why Engineers Love React Native (And You Should Too).
