Why use AI for email marketing?

When used correctly, email marketing boosts business. Knowing what kinds of email customers expect or want to receive and how often they wish to receive them can help plan campaigns at the right times and make them as engaging and appealing as possible to boost satisfaction and build anticipation.

For example, customers expect welcome and onboarding emails, and order confirmation and shipping update emails — and will most likely open them. But many will also engage with emails that speak to their interests, and these include personalized product or content recommendations. A good campaign strategy and clear, compelling messaging can resonate with people on a personal level, helping drive open rates and clicks. AI can speed up a number of email marketing activities, from segmenting audiences and recommending the best time to send emails, to generating emails and automating A/B tests.
