There isn’t an ecommerce marketer who’d deny the importance of customer segmentation for email personalization. We have so much first-party data on user behavior. Of course, we’ll use it to give them a better experience and more relevant products!

However, there’s one additional layer of data that most ecommerce brands overlook. That leaves their personalized email marketing half-done. For example, I got such an email:

“Hey, Dimira,

Need sparkly heels for that dress you got? We got you covered!”

And I wondered: “I got this dress 3 years ago for a wedding and it’s definitely out of style by now…It doesn’t even fit me anymore, why would I need the heels?”

A sale lost right there.

Why?

Because the brand didn’t pay attention when the action was taken. Their click through rates must be abysmal.

Four months until Christmas and a lot of ecommerce stores have already started planning their holiday marketing strategy.

And rightly so, the holiday retail sales crossed the $1 Tn mark for the first time in 2018 so holiday season 2019 should be taken seriously. Last year, the average American shopper spent close to $846 on gifts around Black Friday.

This is why it is important for your brand to stand out for the holiday promotions.

Email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to engage and retain your customers. However, many brands underuse email marketing during the holiday season, copying cliche tactics too much to make a difference. In most cases, brands use the same email year after year, hoping for just average open rates.

Customer feedback is exciting and scary at the same time.

Exciting because it’s a thrill to learn what people think about your store and products. Scary because negative feedback is hard to swallow sometimes.

This shouldn’t stop you from gathering it! On the contrary – there are so many ways to use it. Customer feedback is a goldmine of info directly from the people who matter the most, you customers.

In this article, we show different uses of customer feedback and how it can help you make optimizations and get more sales.
