What’s New in Nosto: Personalized Emails at Scale With Nosto + dotdigital

There may be no bigger paradox for modern ecommerce companies than email marketing. What is simultaneously the largest form of modern business communication, is often also the most ignored — and it’s no wonder why. The average office worker receives over 120 emails per day. That’s a lot of information to sift through. In fact, it’s usually too much and leads to most of us routinely skimming through emails or even ignoring them altogether and pushing them to our ‘trash’ folder.

This practice is no secret. In fact, the performance of email marketing is often a struggle for many retailers as their average emails see open rates hovering around only 15% with click-through rates as low as 2% total.

To help our clients break out of this mold, we set in motion to help apply Nosto’s personalization power to email communication. With our latest dotdigital integration, we feel we’ve done just that.

3 Ways to Use the dotdigital Integration in Your Email Marketing Strategy

We all know that personalization is incredibly beneficial for a winning email marketing strategy. Simply put, the higher the personalization, the better the performance. It’s been reported that companies that send trigger personalized emails to their prospects and clients see 70% higher open rates and 150% higher click-through rates than business that send generic messaging. By combining dotdigital sends with Nosto, you’ll be able to set up personalized email experiences quickly and seamlessly.
