When we are talking about AI in email marketing, we are not talking about companies replacing their sales and marketing team with robots. But specifically about sending better quality emails and increasing open rates for customers. AI opens up a world of opportunities for email marketers and the idea that it “learns” from the previous behavior.

Here are the 3 best uses of Artificial Intelligence in Email Marketing:

Subject lines

An optimized and Attractive subject line is important to the success of an email marketing campaign as it the first thing you will see and is what makes you click on the email. Even if the actual content of the email is great, it is really the subject line that can make the entire campaign. If your subject line is not up to scratch and unengaging, the response rates to the email will not be desirable or profitable.

AI technology can create brilliant subject lines which reflect your brand’s voice. And after going through split tests can determine which words and phrases are most likely to hit the spot with your company’s target audience. Advanced machine learning algorithms achieve this by learning quickly about what works for you and your overall audience.

Email content

Obviously, the actual content of the email is the bulk of the campaign once an email has been clicked on. Email content can certainly benefit from AI automation. The bold copy of an email written in an engaging fashion through advanced machine learning. Again, AI can achieve a human-sounding email which is true to your brand’s voice.

It is important for brands to keep their branding consistent so that it is recognizable and trusted by the customer. One of the skills is using language. It not considered spammy or too promotional – as this is likely to engage better with customers.

Sending times

Timing considered essential for email marketing campaigns. AI can aid in making sure your emails are timed effectively for your customers to read them. Traditionally, marketers rely on a broad assumption about the time of day which works best for campaigns. But this is not going to apply to all of their audience. Everyone has different lifestyles and habits and email marketers are using AI to help them to target everyone at the right time, especially across desktop, mobile, and tablet.

AI has the ability to automate the ideal send time for each subscriber based on their individual engagement history. Without AI, this could be extremely hard to determine as even harder and time-consuming to deliver.
