Key Terms:  

“Real-Time” Messaging – Using dynamic image personalization in real-time may transition between real-time to near real-time depending on contextual data included in the recipient’s email. MessageGears’ suite of contextual data allows enterprise marketers to pull dynamic images in marketing messaging using context data, real-time context data with MessageGears Engage, and Context APIs. Therefore, pulling information, including images, from any location for relevance at email open. 

Personalized Email Marketing – Personalized emails are still pertinent across the recipient inbox landscape. Personal data, such as collected zero and first-party data, still holds true for customer engagement. For example, a recipient’s location for a reservation, whether that’s a trip or a special dinner, can be populated in an email using the zip code or address provided depending on what they select. Which, in the past, could have come from pixels tracking geolocation.  

Open RateSince Apple is caching images before recipient-open, all emails that are sent to Apple Mail users will record as “read” in any tracking metrics. This leads to diving into click rate metrics as new strategies develop based on marketing messaging performance. 

Click Rate – Although Click Rate has been around the whole time, its importance has grown as marketers pivot customer communications strategically across email marketing. As a new performance indicator, click rate will become increasingly important.
