Dynamic Merge Tags for Enhanced Email Personalization

We're excited to announce an update to the Orbee Audience Builder: Dynamic Merge Tags. This new feature empowers marketers to create highly personalized email content by utilizing specific data extracted directly from integrated data sources. With Dynamic Merge Tags, you can automatically insert personalized information into your emails, making each communication feel uniquely tailored to the recipient.
Users can easily browse and select the data fields they want to use as merge tags, such as recipient names or phone numbers. These merge tags are then automatically generated with the correct syntax, ensuring accurate representation within email content.
Understanding Merge Tags in Email Marketing
Before diving deeper into the update, let's clarify what we mean by "merge tags." Merge tags are placeholders in your email content that are replaced with dynamic content when the email is sent out. For example, using a simple merge tag like {{first_name}} in your email template allows you to address each recipient by their first name, pulled from your integrated data sources.
Impact on Email Personalization
The introduction of Dynamic Merge Tags significantly broadens the scope of personalization. Unlike standard merge tags, which typically include only basic details (like name and email address), dynamic merge tags can pull in complex and varied data specific to each user. This means you can tailor every aspect of your email based on user data such as purchase history, browsing behavior, or engagement levels, enhancing relevance and fostering a deeper connection with each recipient.
By delivering highly personalized messages tailored to individual recipients, users can boost engagement and conversion rates of their email campaigns. Whether nurturing leads or engaging existing customers, personalized communication is key to driving a better customer experience.
Examples of Data Sources and Fields for Merge Tags
To help you visualize how Dynamic Merge Tags can be used, here's an essential insight into the flexibility and power of this feature: Orbee can integrate not just traditional, structured data sources but also unstructured data. This capability means virtually any data source—be it structured databases like CRM systems or unstructured repositories like emails, social media interactions, or even text from customer service chat logs—can be connected and utilized with Orbee. This integration allows for an extensive range of data fields to be employed as merge tags.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems:
Data fields that could be extracted as merge tags:
- Name of the last sales agent a lead spoke to
- Make, Model, and Year of the car they submitted a lead form for
- Latest source the lead came from
Dealership Management System (DMS):
Data fields that could be extracted as merge tags:
- Last service date
- Make, Model, and Year of car owned
