How Litmus Personalize Solved the Challenge<\/h3>\n

Pond Planet turned to Litmus Personalize<\/a>, powered by Kickdynamic to increase their email program click through and conversion rates.<\/p>\n

First, Pond Planet replaced static social content with live social feeds to ensure the content featured in their welcome series is as relevant as possible to new subscribers. They also feature calls to actions that are tailored to the device used to open the email.<\/p>\n

To add extra touches of personalized & relevant content, they feature banner images that can update depending on the time of day the email is opened or pull in unique subscriber names.<\/p>\n

To drive urgency, Pond Planet strategically added live on-brand countdown timers to personalized offer emails. Once the countdown has expired, they are swapped out automatically with messaging to let the customer know the sale has ended.<\/p>\n

These strategies require a one time set up and can be used across multiple campaigns with varying goals. Using Litmus Personalize, powered by Kickdynamic\u2019s open time technology, the content will automatically update live at every open, saving huge time and resources.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
