How to use Dynamic Content on Maropost
What is Dynamic Content?
Dynamic content refers to the personalization of the elements provided on a communication channel. This with the objective of creating a more personal experience for the users. As a result, you can get more engagement and conversions. When you use dynamic content, the user interacting with your channel receives custom data based on their characteristics and behavior. For example, you have multiple visitors from Sydney that visit your site, you will show to those users specific elements that refer to that City. Then you have a visitor from London, so you provide London based-content to that specific user. You can have multiple conditions for your dynamic content, not only location-based. You can show dynamic content from the behavioral data you have from your contacts. For example, you send a single email showing different products for each contact depending on the product pages they visit the most.
The importance of Dynamic Content
Using dynamic content is very important to establish a more personal connection with your audience. It allows you to increase your engagement, boost your click-through rate, convert your leads faster and attract new prospects. Dynamic content lets you create a more pleasant experience for your users since you provide content that is relevant to them. Therefore, they are more likely to open your emails, visit your website, read your messages and answer your calls. Creating dynamic content is one of the most effective methods used in inbound marketing to boost sales.
