How to Capitalize on Your Transactional Emails with Smart Banners™

Transactional emails present a fantastic opportunity to activate and reengage your customers driving them to take more action. So are you capitalizing on that?

These emails have a much higher open rate compared to traditional marketing messages and newsletters. So, with more eyeballs on your content, it makes sense you want to find ways to make the most of what your readers are seeing. 

Here’s where personalized Smart Banners™ can make a huge difference. Using Smart Banners™ in your transactional emails adds another layer of personalized messaging and helps you do it at scale. That can help you improve your click-through and conversion rates, boosting sales and revenue. 

Here are a few examples of Smart Banners™ for transactional emails in action.

What are transactional emails?

Transactional emails include shipping and billing notifications, welcome or loyalty member registration emails, messages about account information, reminders, and so on. They’re basic emails that are typically just there to update your customer about actions on their account. 

Boring, right?

Not so fast. Traditionally, transactional emails have been pretty straightforward, just the facts, ma’am, sort of stuff. But, to consumers, transactional emails are very important. 

Data shows transactional emails have 2x the open rates of other emails and a click-through rate of 5-10%, with over 40% of emails getting clicks after open. Those are much higher than other non-transactional emails. 

So, that means if you aren’t finding ways to connect with your readers and customers through your transactional emails, you’re missing out. But that doesn’t mean adding a few extra links without much thought and hoping they get clicked. You need to make transactional emails a key part of your overall email marketing strategy.
