Today, we’re going to learn about behavioral tags. Can anyone tell me what they think a behavioral tag might be?
Maybe it’s something that tracks user behavior online?
Exactly! Behavioral tags are used to categorize users based on their actions, like what emails they open or what products they view. This allows us to send targeted messages. For instance, if someone checks out a specific product multiple times but doesn’t buy, we can tag them and send a reminder email. Remember the acronym TAG: Track, Analyze, and Guide!
So, it’s like creating a profile for each subscriber based on their actions?
Exactly right! By profiling users, we can better cater our messages. Let’s discuss some examples in the next session.
Now that we understand what behavioral tags are, let’s talk about how they help in segmentation. Why do you think segmentation is important in email marketing?
It helps in sending specific messages to those who are more interested!
Absolutely! When we use behavioral tags, we can create specific segments, for instance, users who have viewed a product but haven’t purchased. Does anyone know how we might automate an email to these users?
We could set up a drip campaign that sends out reminders or discounts to those tagged users!
Spot on! This allows us to automate our marketing efforts, improving efficiency and engagement. Always aim for the 3 C’s: Customized, Consistent, and Compliant communication!
Finally, let’s look at the benefits. How do you think behavioral tags affect email engagement?
They probably help increase the open rates since the emails are more relevant to users!
Exactly! With higher relevance, users are more likely to engage. It’s also important for maintaining a good sender reputation. If we don’t tag disengaged users, what could happen?
We could end up in spam folders!
Correct. By utilizing tags to suppress disengaged users, we ensure that our sender reputation remains intact. To remember this, think of the 3 R’s: Relevance, Retention, and Reputation!
