If you have been in email marketing, you have definitely heard about the words “segmentation” and “personalization” used interchangeably. Marketers do confuse with these two words and thinks both are same. While that’s not true. Segmentation is about “Whom to send emails” while Personalization tells “what to send in the email”. There is a big difference between the two, but they influence each other on a large scale in digital marketing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you do not understand where one ends and the other begins, your email campaigns<\/a> end up somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think about why it is important, then let me tell you that data says: segmented email campaigns can generate up to 760% more revenue<\/strong> than non-segmented ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, personalized emails achieve 29% higher open rates<\/strong> and 41% higher click-through rates<\/strong> compared to simple messages. Do not think it is a small improvement. These are the differences between email campaigns that grow a business and campaigns that fill an inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So which one matters more \u2014 segmentation or Personalization? The honest answer is that asking which is “better” is the wrong question. The smarter question is: how do they work together, and in what order? This guide breaks it all down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
