Report: Personalisation Becomes the Norm for Email MarketersLONDON, July 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The era of "batch and blast" email marketing is waning, according to Email Marketing Personalisation Report, a new global research report by UK based email consultancy Holistic Email Marketing in partnership with marketing-technology provider Pure360. Among the findings, the report shows that 94% of brands are, to varying degrees, personalising their messages to their customers and subscribers. The report also studies the number and kinds of data they use and the challenges that prevent email teams, even those with 20+ members, from expanding personalisation. Email personalisation: No longer a 'nice to have' "Now that automation and data tools are standard offerings on even mid-level email platforms, we wanted to learn how marketers are using them to personalise and enhance their messaging," says Kath Pay, Founder and CEO of Holistic Email Marketing and author of the report. "Some marketers have mastered the art and science of personalisation, using advanced data collection to personalise every aspect of the email journey," Pay says. "Others are testing the waters using basic segmentation on key aspects of their messages. But we were surprised to find marketers of large corporations, with large teams, stating their main challenge was lack of resources." "It's encouraging to see personalisation is a top priority for nearly 50% of respondents with another 35% looking to implement soon," says Komal Helyer, Marketing Director for Pure360. "As consumers we've been long exposed to personalisation from brands such as Amazon, Netflix and Spotify. These brands realised the power of personalisation early on and were quick to develop their experience around it." 5 top findings in the report 1. Personalisation is becoming the norm for most marketers. 2. Nearly all marketers have the tools for personalistion. 3. Many email marketers don't own the web forms they need to succeed with personalisation. 4. Marketers are moving beyond personalising only the subject line or first name. Marketers are incorporating data from email behaviour (56%), purchase history (41%), lifecycle stage (29%) and even contextual data (12%) to add relevant content meaningful to individual recipients. 5. Marketers who test their personalisation efforts rely more on campaign metrics than customer metrics.
