How Content Plays a Role in Improving ROI for Email
|
Email marketing is vital to customer engagement and revenue — especially for eCommerce and retail brands. Its unique ability to reach customers directly and its cost-effectiveness are why it’s still the primary channel for marketers to drive growth and revenue.
However, with the overwhelming volume of emails consumers receive daily, standing out in a crowded inbox is challenging. And this is why content is more important than ever.
Successful email marketing hinges on more than just sending messages; it’s about delivering value through content. The right content strategy personalizes the customer experience, enhancing relevance, building loyalty, and driving action. And all that helps improve your return on investment (ROI). Here’s why it matters.
The Power of Performative Personalization
Email personalization tailors content to align with individual consumer profiles and behaviors. Today, it’s not just a ‘nice to have’ for marketers but a necessity.
Leverage customer data, including preferences, purchase history, browsing behavior, and engagement metrics — to create emails that resonate on a personal level. These data-driven insights, what we call performative personalization, create content you know will resonate with readers.

Content’s Role in Boosting Email’s ROI
Content improves ROI by personalizing the customer experience, enhancing relevance, and building loyalty. All of these, in turn, can help drive conversions and revenue over the long term.
So, tailoring content to consumer data, preferences, and behaviors helps capture attention and drive action, turning email campaigns into significant revenue generators.
Here are some key ways content plays such a crucial role in ROI.
More Engagement Through Relevant Emails
Marketers want to create engaging content. And message relevance is the key to it. But it’s hard to make tailored emails highlighting their interests, behaviors, and preferences if you don’t have the necessary customer data.
Zembula has the tools to help you create emails that are always relevant to the reader. Using Smart Banners™ and Smart Blocks™ helps you tailor emails from top to bottom, ensuring the message is always relevant and engaging.
That increased engagement translates into higher open and click-through rates, driving conversions and boosting revenue. All of which help increase your ROI and measure the success of your campaigns.
Create Better Communication with Data-Driven Personalization
Consumers are tired of brands talking at them. Now, they want to be met where they are and have messaging be a two-way street. That means more advanced personalization strategies have to be thrown into the mix beyond the generic surface-level approach.
Craft messages that resonate on a personal level, using customer data like browsing history, purchase patterns, and past interactions. First, it shows you understand the reader. And second, it allows you to use content to surprise and delight, be helpful, and drive engagement.
A great example is using Smart Blocks™ for personalized product recommendations based on past customer purchases and browsing behavior. Start by highlighting products you know they’ll love, and then level up by adding positive customer ratings and reviews to the message.
Reduce Unsubscribes and Improve Re-engagement
Of course, you should use email to grow your potential customer base and appeal to new shoppers. But your content choices also matter when trying to get past buyers to engage with your brand again. Reducing unsubscribes and encouraging shoppers to continue buying is often driven by content.
Relevant, personalized, and engaging content resonates with your audience and reduces the likelihood of readers unsubscribing. Data shows consumers are more willing to leave a brand if they don’t receive personalized content.
To connect with past shoppers, use Smart Banners™ featuring personalized welcome-back discounts, product recommendations, or special events. That starts the conversation to bring them back into the fold. Then, rely on their data to create attention-grabbing emails with messaging tailored to them.
