  3. Segment your customers: You can segment your customers in various ways but some of the most important segmentations include segmentation based on…
    1. If they opened and clicked a similar promotion last year which means they will most likely open and click this year.
    2. if they purchased last year during a holiday, they may also want to purchase this year during that same holiday so make sure to create separate segments to push specials to those who are more likely to purchase.
  4. Be responsive: Over 40% of most emails are being opened on a mobile device. Make sure your email is responsive and looks good on a mobile device.
  5. Send at an optimal time: You want your email to be at the top of their inbox so send your email at an optimal time using OpenMoves’ “Optimize” option.
