Utilize customer data to personalize emails, from addressing clients by name to customizing content based on their specific insurance needs and history.
As mobile usage continues to rise, ensure that your email templates are responsive and user-friendly on all devices.
Regularly evaluate campaign metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates to improve future communications.
In South Africa, compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is imperative for insurance companies engaging in email marketing. Adhere to the following guidelines:
Numerous insurance companies have experienced transformative results through effective email marketing campaigns. For instance:
