Smart Banners™ help enterprise retailers do more with high performing messages

In the Promotions tab era, visibility is everything. Only a handful of emails are seen when a consumer checks their inbox, and even fewer are seen on mobile before needing to scroll. If your message isn’t relevant and recent, it’s often ignored.

But, most enterprise retailers have a good idea of which emails perform best. The challenge is getting those messages seen more often without adding more manual work.

Smart Banners™ help make that possible. These dynamic content banners are part of Zembula Dimensions™, our solution for automating real-time personalization across daily enterprise email sends. Smart Banners improve the visibility of your best-performing triggered messages in every email you send with no added production lift or workflow changes.

Don’t let your best content go unseen

Abandoned cart, loyalty updates, and price drop emails typically outperform batch sends. But those triggers only drive results if they’re seen and opened, and that depends on timing and inbox placement. In the Promotions tab era, one missed open means missed revenue.

Smart Banners help solve this problem by ensuring real-time personalized content is in every email. That means even if a customer doesn’t open your abandoned cart email, they’ll still see their cart update in the next promo, newsletter, or campaign you send. The 18% swing shows just how impactful this type of daily personalization can be.

Use customer data to drive revenue

You already have the data — purchase history, loyalty points, and browsing behavior. The challenge is putting it to work without increasing design and production time.

Smart Banners transform real-time behavioral data into dynamic content blocks, personalized for each customer and updated at the moment of open. They use live data to increase the likelihood of engagement and repeat purchases.

For example, you can automatically display a customer’s points balance, upcoming reward tier, or personalized offers tied to their loyalty status without needing manual updates or segmentation. And it’s not just loyalty. Purchase behavior, product views, and engagement history can all feed into dynamic content blocks, including Smart Kickers™, personalized for each customer.

Paired together, Smart Banners and Smart Kickers help you maximize every inch of inbox real estate. Now you’ll have relevant, revenue-driving messaging at the top and bottom of every email. It’s a simple way to make every email work harder.

This is personalization designed to drive conversions and revenue. It’s a key part of the shift away from vanity metrics and toward longitudinal testing that measures performance based on sustained revenue, not single-day spikes.

Focus on personalization

Not all personalization is created equal. Swapping in a name or location doesn’t always move revenue, especially if there’s cognitive dissonance, those small inconsistencies across personalization that can take a campaign from positive to negative results. Brands need to ensure they’re using the right data and setup to keep messaging aligned throughout every campaign to ensure transparency in messaging.

That could mean:

• Displaying real-time loyalty point balances
• Recommending recently browsed or highly-rated items
• Promoting time-sensitive offers based on past purchases

Smart Banners and Smart Kickers make this level of personalization simple to create and deploy without overloading your team. This helps brands prioritize content that improves conversions, boosts revenue, and keeps your messages relevant.

The reality is most of your best content is trapped. Even though your best revenue-generating content lives in triggered and journey emails, the majority of enterprise retailers’ email volume is still batch promotional sends.

That’s a massive gap and a missed opportunity.

Smart Banners help close that gap by adding high-performing triggered content into every email. Instead of relying on a one-time open, you can increase the chances that customers see the messages that actually drive revenue.

And in the Promotions tab era, having your best-performing messages more visible is a winning formula.

Make every email work harder

With Zembula, it’s easy to scale the content that’s already working. Smart Banners and Smart Kickers use your existing data and creative to increase visibility and revenue without adding more manual work or slowing your team down.

There’s no new dev lift, no redesigns, and no bottlenecks, just better-performing emails that drive revenue, delivered at scale.
