In 2021, businesses from diverse industries will be forced to adapt to numerous new technologies and other changes. As 2022 unfolds, we see that world events, coupled with technological innovations, continue to play a significant role in influencing the direction of email marketing.<\/p>\n<p>The international lockdowns during the last two years have accelerated the shift toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/holiday-shopping-online-stores\/\">online shopping<\/a>. In fact, a report from the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company showed that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/the-great-consumer-shift-ten-charts-that-show-how-us-shopping-behavior-is-changing\">75 percent of U.S. consumers<\/a> began experimenting with new shopping behaviors in 2020. This increase in online activity has made email marketing an essential part of many retailers\u2019 business models.<\/p>\n<p>Statista.com reports that the number of emails sent and received globally has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/456500\/daily-number-of-e-mails-worldwide\/\">increased each year since 2017<\/a>, and that in 2022, the number of emails sent and received each day is predicted to be 333.2 billion. The message here is very clear: Boost your email marketing campaign(s) if you want to stay relevant.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best things you can do for your business right now is to stay up-to-date with what\u2019s happening in the field of email marketing. Acting on this information in a way that is relevant to your niche will help you keep your business growing and evolving in these changing times.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top <strong>11 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/email-marketing-trends-2023\/\">email marketing trends<\/a><\/strong> you absolutely need to know this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/email-marketing-trends-2023\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 Email Marketing Trends to Expect in 2023 and Beyond\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 Email Marketing Trends to Expect in 2023 and Beyond<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/email-marketing-trends-2023.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-64774 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/email-marketing-trends-2023.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 Email Marketing Trends to Expect in 2023 and Beyond<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLet's take a look at the different trends forecasted in the email marketing world in the coming years.\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>1. Measuring Success\u2026 Moving Beyond Open Rates<\/h2>\n<p>Marketers have traditionally tracked the success of their email campaigns via open-rate numbers. However, simply opening an email-which may mean only that your subject line is enticing-is less important than what the recipient does afterward. Figuring out if consumers have acted on your email by tracking what they do after opening it should be your focus. And last year, the open email rate metric took a big hit.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/1-mail-privacy.jpg\" alt=\"email privacy\" width=\"568\" height=\"1080\"><\/figure>\n<p>In 2021, Apple enacted its Mail Privacy Protection (<abbr title=\"Mail Privacy Protection\">MPP<\/abbr>) policy which hampers the sharing of data from consumers\u2019 emails. While the way in which MPP works is somewhat technical, the result is that it gives retailers the impression that all their emails have been opened, rendering the open rate practically useless as a metric.<\/p>\n<p>What are your options? How can you identify which email strategies are working?<\/p>\n<p>Engagement is useful in tracking email success as it measures how recipients interact with your campaign. Click-through and conversion rates as well as replies, can be used to measure engagement. If you can tie revenue to a specific email campaign, the resulting ROI will help you determine the campaign\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>Adding Urchin Tracking Module (<abbr title=\"Urchin Tracking Module\">UTM<\/abbr>) codes to email links helps you determine how effectively your emails are getting consumers to visit your website.<\/p>\n<p>We see the results of MPP. When the developer beta of iOS 15 was released, observers noticed a small uptick in open rates, then another when the public beta came out. And once iOS 15 was publicly released, we saw a huge uptick in open rates.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.litmus.com\/blog\/email-client-market-share-infographic\/\">46.3% of all emails<\/a> were opened in the Apple Mail app in 2020. You should expect that many Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Outlook subscribers will be affected, too, because those email accounts can be routed into Apple Mail apps.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Email Plays a Vital Role in a Customer Retention Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Lifetime revenue is more important than a single sale, meaning your email strategy should seek to gain and retain long-term customers. Acquiring customers is not as difficult as retaining them.<\/p>\n<p>How can you turn new buyers into lifelong customers?<\/p>\n<p>While certainly not the newest digital strategy out there, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/email-marketing-tools-resources\/\">email marketing<\/a> has been proven to be very effective in retaining customers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/2-customer-retention-strategy.jpg\" alt=\"customer retention strategy\" width=\"568\" height=\"1080\"><\/figure>\n<p>Email that engages recipients, communicates desired information, provides a positive brand experience, and is personalized to customers\u2019 unique needs goes a long way toward improving your Customer Lifetime Value (<abbr title=\"Customer Lifetime Value\">CLV<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n<p>Several types of emails that help build loyalty should become part of your marketing arsenal. These include welcome emails, newsletters, targeted product recommendations and offers, and loyalty program rewards and updates.<\/p>\n<p>Research from Rosetta found that customers actively engaged with brands and their loyalty programs buy <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.accessdevelopment.com\/the-top-ten-benefits-of-customer-retention#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20they're%20delivering,long%20they'll%20stick%20around.\">90% more frequently<\/a> and spend 60% more per transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Compared with the average consumer, loyal customers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/feedly.com\/\">deliver 23% more revenue<\/a> and profitability.<\/p>\n<h2>3. For Email, Hyper-Personalization Is Power<\/h2>\n<p>Addressing emails with the recipient\u2019s name is no longer enough. Today\u2019s consumers expect businesses to understand what they need, and they want and expect businesses to customize emails to meet those needs.<\/p>\n<p>This type of communication, known as hyper-personalization, improves the Click-through Rate (<abbr title=\"Click-through Rate\">CTR<\/abbr>) and generates more revenue.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/3-hyper-personalization.jpg\" alt=\"hyper-personalization\" width=\"670\" height=\"1316\"><\/figure>\n<p>Hyper-personalized emails improve recipients\u2019 experiences and engage them by providing content and offer they like as often as they like. Individualized content \u2013 including product recommendations and offers-is based on data collected about the customer\u2019s preferences, purchases, and online behavior. Emails should be sent on a schedule based on the frequency of the recipient\u2019s open habits.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/smarterhq.com\/privacy-report\">52% of consumers<\/a> expect offers to always to be personalized (up from 49% in 2019).<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/feedly.com\/\">72% of consumers<\/a> say they engage only with emails that are specifically targeted to them.<\/p>\n<p>Email marketing personalization <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/blog\/email-marketing-statistics\/\">improves the open rate (82%)<\/a> and click-through rate (75%), while increasing customer satisfaction (58%).<\/p>\n<h2>4. Artificial Intelligence Is the Smart Way to Go<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/understanding-artificial-intelligence\/\">Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (<abbr title=\"Artificial Intelligence\">AI<\/abbr>) is ideal for turning data analysis into valuable and actionable insights. Those in the know expect that, at some time in the not-so-distant future, AI will be able to rapidly and accurately identify a company\u2019s potential customers and expeditiously deliver personalized email content without human intervention.<\/p>\n<p>How is AI currently impacting email marketing?<\/p>\n<p>AI is now being used to improve email campaigns by cleaning up mailing lists, segmenting audiences for testing and targeting, optimizing email send times, ensuring that emails land in the inbox and not in spam folders, collecting data for content personalization and even writing email subject lines. AI saves retailers time and money while improved click-through rates boost revenue.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/4-AI-email-marketing.jpg\" alt=\"AI email marketing\" width=\"944\" height=\"670\"><\/figure>\n<p>In a 2018 study by Statista, a survey of 401 marketers who used AI in email personalization showed that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chart\/17222\/artificial-intelligence-marketing\/\">41.29% had an improvement in revenue<\/a> by using this technology.<\/p>\n<p>In a study of 50 billion emails sent by businesses worldwide, AI tools <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/netcorecloud.com\/en\/blog\/non-obvious-email-marketing-trends-and-predictions-for-2022-that-you-cant-ignore\/\">increased deliverability rates by 50%<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>5. The Case for Automated Email Marketing<\/h2>\n<p>Automation helps marketers quickly plow through the labor-intensive tasks associated with emailing: data analysis, segmentation, optimal timing and frequency, and hyper-personalized content. Retailers today send a variety of emails automatically, including welcome emails, birthday emails, abandoned cart emails, and more, triggered by certain actions. Targeted emails improve engagement and build trust, resulting in increased revenue.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/5-automated-email-marketing.jpg\" alt=\"automated email marketing\" width=\"600\" height=\"1254\"><\/figure>\n<p>Chatbots are not part of the email itself, but when added to your website content, they can be configured to automatically prompt visitors to sign up for emails and then send emails to those addresses.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to automate sending messages with news, special offers, and notifications-with little to no human supervision.<\/p>\n<p>Automated emails result in click rates that are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/v12data.com\/blog\/email-marketing-trends-stats-to-know-for-2021\/\">119% higher than broadcast emails<\/a> and they drive 18 times more revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Retailers that connect with their customers via automated emails realized <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/v12data.com\/blog\/email-marketing-trends-stats-to-know-for-2021\/\">conversion rates as high as 50%<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>6. BIMI Adoption Helps Protect Users from Fraud<\/h2>\n<p>What is BIMI? Brand Indicators for Message Identification (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"Brand%20Indicators%20for%20Message%20Identification\">BIMI<\/a>) is a method that displays the brand\u2019s logo in inboxes to help prevent email spoofing. Providing users with evidence that an email comes from an authentic source increases trust and engagement. Plus, the more you use your logo, the greater the brand recognition and recall.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/6-BIMI-adoption.jpg\" alt=\"BMI adoption marketing emails\" width=\"924\" height=\"466\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now is the best time to invest in the resources required to implement BIMI. While Yahoo and Verizon Media were already supporting BIMI, Google didn\u2019t officially endorse using BIMI logos for Gmail until 2021. With Gmail now in the mix and its users comprising up to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emailonacid.com\/blog\/article\/email-marketing\/bimi\/\">25% of subscriber mailing lists<\/a>, retailers have more incentive than ever to spend on BIMI authentication.<\/p>\n<p>According to the FBI, U.S. businesses lost more than <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/Media\/Y2020\/PSA200406\">$2 billion due to email fraud<\/a> between 2014 and 2019.<\/p>\n<h2>7. An Interactive Email Strategy Moves the Needle<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/importance-of-web-interactivity-tips-and-examples\/\">Interactivity<\/a> in emails is anticipated to grow in 2022 due to its positive impacts on engagement, loyalty, and conversion. Interactive emails go beyond the simple act of a user scanning content. They provide users with an entertaining experience as well as the convenience of clicking on content without opening a browser window.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/7-interactive-email.jpg\" alt=\"BMI interactive email\" width=\"614\" height=\"1276\"><\/figure>\n<p>Typical elements you may want to add to your emails are surveys and quizzes, animated GIFs and fun effects, slideshows of featured products that permit shopping directly from the email, User-generated Content (<abbr title=\"User-generated Content\">UGC<\/abbr>) and animated Calls-to-Action (<abbr title=\"Calls-to-Action\">CTAs<\/abbr>). Not only do these items make the customer\u2019s experience more enjoyable, but they also offer you the opportunity to glean information about your customers.<\/p>\n<p>Interactivity has been shown to increase the number of clicks and conversions, which, in addition to potentially increasing revenue, offer performance metrics beyond the open rate.<\/p>\n<p>However, be aware of the caveats: Be sure to make your interactive emails mobile-friendly and avoid overdoing the animation-you don\u2019t want your emails to end up in the recipient\u2019s spam folder!<\/p>\n<p>Interactive content results in twice as many conversions as passive content. It generates conversions moderately or very well <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/uplandsoftware.com\/kapost\/resources\/blog\/interactive-content-conversions\/\">70% of the time<\/a> vs. 36% for passive content.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Let Your Happy Customers Generate Your Content<\/h2>\n<p>User-generated content (UGC) is exactly what it sounds like original, brand-specific content created and posted by customers, typically on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>This content can be texts, videos, podcasts, reviews, recommendations, and images. UGC serves the same purpose as testimonials on websites: to verify that real customers trust and like your brand.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/8-customer-generated-content.jpg\" alt=\"customer-generated content\" width=\"922\" height=\"676\"><\/figure>\n<p>How do you use UGC in email marketing? If you do not have current UGC about your brand, you can email customers and ask them how they use your product; include a hashtag to spur users into posting photos about your brand on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do you gain almost-free publicity, but you can also introduce this user-generated content in future emails and advertising campaigns. UGC makes emails appear authentic, especially to jaded consumers who assume that advertisers exaggerate product benefits.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/user-generated-content-facts-and-stats\/\">86% of companies<\/a> make UGC part of their marketing strategies to build trust and authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>92% of consumers seek reviews and recommendations from a company\u2019s existing customers before making a purchase, and 90% trust UGC over company-generated ads and promotional emails.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Express Appreciation to Your Valuable Customers<\/h2>\n<p>Consumers have a lot of choices. Showing customers your appreciation via email helps you stand out from the competition, even as it also improves engagement, increases brand loyalty, and sustains long-term customer relationships.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/9-customer-appreciation.jpg\" alt=\"customer appreciation\" width=\"576\" height=\"1282\"><\/figure>\n<p>Common ways to express appreciation include celebrating special milestones or birthdays with an offer, providing early access to a sale, offering customer-only discounts, and simply thanking the recipient for being your customer.<\/p>\n<p>You can also connect with customers during troubled times to express your shared empathy.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can use email to send an offer to customers in honor of your staff or local health care workers, or even send an email about a special project or favored charity.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunities abound!<\/p>\n<p>Birthday emails have <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/blog\/email-marketing\/birthday-email-marketing-guide\/#:~:text=Birthday%20emails%20generate%20342%25%20higher,click%20rates%20than%20promotional%20emails.\">179% higher click rates<\/a> and generate 342% more revenue than promotional emails.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Looking into the Dark Side of Mobile Accessibility<\/h2>\n<p>An important trend for 2022 is the creation of well-designed, mobile-responsive emails that allow users to search without opening a browser window. Today\u2019s emails must be easy to read on the go-both for users who prefer the newly popular dark mode and those who like the traditional light mode.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"screenshot-mobile-portrait\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/10-dark-mode.jpg\" alt=\"dark mode\" width=\"632\" height=\"1274\"><\/figure>\n<p>The default mode is<\/p>\n<p>Light mode (dark text on a light screen). When the dark mode display setting is turned on, the user sees a light text on a dark background.<\/p>\n<p>Dark mode emails can be challenging for designers, but if emails are incompatible with dark mode, the layout can break, and the email may be sent to a spam folder. To make email easy to read on dark mode screens, use high-contrast text and visuals that look good on a dark background.<\/p>\n<p>During the fourth quarter of 2021, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/277125\/share-of-website-traffic-coming-from-mobile-devices\/\">54.4% of global website traffic<\/a> came from smartphones.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spadetechnology.com\/7-surprising-statistics-that-show-why-mobile-friendly-websites-are-a-must-for-google\/#:~:text=69%25%20of%20consumers%20worldwide%20between,than%20a%20desktop%20every%20day.\">69% of consumers worldwide<\/a> search for product information via mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vectornator.io\/blog\/dark-mode#:~:text=A%20survey%20published%20on%20Medium,dark%20mode%20on%20their%20devices.\">82.7% of survey respondents<\/a> said that they use dark mode on their devices.<\/p>\n<h2>11. The Minimalism Trend is Last but Not Least<\/h2>\n<p>In how many ways do you communicate with your customers? Consumers get confused and distracted by all the information that comes at them every day, which means building a strong brand presence is essential.<\/p>\n<p>The branding of your emails should be consistent with that of your website, social media, videos, and advertisements so that your brand is instantly recognizable regardless of the channel.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/top-email-marketing-trends\/11-minimalism-in-email.jpg\" alt=\"minimalism in email\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\"><\/figure>\n<p>Further, emails should be short, clear, and uncluttered; the minimalist design is trending. Craft a few short, clearly written, and easy-to-read paragraphs, plain text, simple images, soft colors, and a lot of blank space-with no distractions.<\/p>\n<p>While this advice seems to contradict the interactive and dark mode email trends, we suggest there is a time and place for everything. The key is to know which style to use and when.<\/p>\n<p>Minimalist email design and content are ideal for quickly and straightforwardly communicating a message, while interactive designs are best for grabbing attention, increasing engagement, and encouraging users to take the desired action.<\/p>\n<p>Each trend not only has its own design style, but each also requires a different overall content tone as well. Are you new to email and not sure how to write content? Now is the time to learn the proper way to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.straightnorth.com\/insights\/how-write-email-marketing-copy\/\">write email marketing copy<\/a> for a range of styles.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrap Up<\/h2>\n<p>Emails remain an important part of a successful retail marketing strategy.
