Personalisation: The Secret Sauce to Email Marketing Success
You know that feeling when an email lands in your inbox and it actually feels like they know you? Like it was crafted by someone who understands your needs, not a faceless marketing bot throwing spaghetti at the wall? That’s personalisation. And if you’re still firing off generic emails, you might as well be shouting into the void.
Why Personalisation Matters (and Why Bland Emails Belong in the Bin)
Let’s talk numbers—because data doesn’t lie. According to HubSpot, personalised emails deliver six times higher transaction rates. Yet, so many brands still send one-size-fits-all emails that get deleted faster than an embarrassing Facebook memory.
Personalisation isn’t just about throwing a first name into the subject line and calling it a day. It’s about treating your audience like actual humans with preferences, not just email addresses on a list. When done right, it transforms your emails from background noise into something worth opening.
The Three Levels of Email Personalisation
Basic (The "Hi [First Name]" Quick Fix)
A good start, but let’s not pretend it’s revolutionary. If this is all you’re doing, you’re barely scratching the surface.
Intermediate (The "We Know What You Like" Sweet Spot)
Use data to segment your audience based on behaviour—think past purchases, browsing history, and engagement levels. If someone just bought running shoes, don’t send them an email about hiking boots.
Advanced (The "Mind-Reader" Tactic)
Dynamic content that shifts based on real-time user behaviour. Abandoned cart? Give them a little nudge. Regular customer? Reward their loyalty. VIP? Make them feel like royalty.

The Bottom Line
Personalisation isn’t just a fancy add-on—it’s the difference between an email that gets read and one that gets ghosted. If your emails aren’t performing, it’s time to stop talking at your audience and start speaking to them.
