Variables are a powerful way to personalize your emails, making each recipient feel as though the message was crafted just for them. 🤩 This guide will explain what variables are and how you can use them effectively in your email campaigns.
🧐 What are Variables?
Variables are placeholders in your email templates that are replaced with specific data when the email is sent. They allow you to insert personalized information such as the recipient's name, company, or any other details you have in your database.😎
