These campaigns deliver compelling offers and customized content based on interests, preferences, past behaviors, and much more.

This session will cover how to efficiently plan, structure, and execute engaging email campaigns that deliver conversions. We'll uncover missed opportunities to engage critical segments in every email you send.
