Because of tighter privacy restrictions…

Brands are investing more in customer data platforms, preference centers & progressive profiling, and loyalty programs to collect more zero‑ and first‑party data and activate it across channels. We pointed this out in our Biggest Shifts in Email Marketing Trends for 2024 webinar, along with the fact that we see subscriber acquisition source optimization as an “Outlier Opportunity.” That’s because it’s seen far less adoption than those other trends that address the same problem. To explore your opportunities there, get our Audience Acquisition Source Ideas checklist, which examines 18 different types of audience acquisition sources and how to optimize them.

Say What?

“Dark mode optimization will become even more prominent this year as some legacy automated and transactional emails get brought into the present. Many of these have remained untouched for years, and aren’t performing as well as they could because their designs haven’t kept up with today’s inboxes.”
