Next step in the process: move them up, engage them, make them open our offers, make them click to find out more…
But to engage members, we need to know more about them. Get more customer data to enrich profiles
Because the only thing we have is an email address, and that’s not enough to keep your members engaged!
HOW WE DO THIS?

The second part of the data gathering is done by tagging as much of the content as possible.
This allows us to build very narrow segments. Because we can now add a lot more information to a single link, than with other platforms
And besides tagging a link with a few meta-tags, we can also add a certain weight to a tag. Tags at the bottom of an email are more important, because of you click on a link there, you saw the entire newletter, and you are typically more engaged.
