In this example, the brand crafted a personalized email for the customer. In the initial line, the brand mentioned that it’s a sales enablement certification course. The following paragraph said what the system would cover next to who this certification course is for.
The entire email shows that the prospect searched for this information, so the brand included complete information and details that would motivate the customer to go for it.
Just imagine what it would have been without data?
You won’t be able to design this helpful email and connect with your customer for better results. You’d act like somebody without a reasonable goal to achieve.
Upselling And Cross-Selling:
Interact regularly with your existing customer, as they could boost your upselling and cross-selling process.
You also need the data; how would you know what product the customer purchased last? The information stored gives you the right picture of that customer’s preferences. And when you have that, you could approach them with the latest and premium version of the same product. Existing customers most likely would acquire that product as they are already using an akin one and would like to try the novel one.

People who don’t know what upselling or cross-selling is all about?
Upselling encourages buyers to purchase an upgraded version, while cross-selling encourages buyers to buy another product, including the primary outcome. Both processes aim to increase sales and revenue for the organization.
Helps Segregate Customers:
If you want to deliver results, you need to send targeted emails to each set of customers. The entire process infused with data leads the process on the right path.
For example, if you want to send a cart abandonment email, you can’t send these emails if you don’t have data; the same goes for sending win-back emails.

In this email, you can see how the brand designed a cart abandonment email. It had the specific data to craft the message and motivate the customer to complete the purchase. The message is crisp, “it’s in your basket.” It then proceeds with “free delivery to store….” It acts as bait.
Without referring to precise data, you can’t design the right one to send to customers, and it could lead to opportunity loss and a decrease in sales.
Demographics Building A Strong Relationship:
You must have heard a good data helps build strong relationships with customers
