Creating personalized customer experiences isn’t just a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. However, many organizations still rely on the outdated “batch-and-blast” approach to email marketing, which often results in disengaged audiences and missed opportunities.
To help organizations transition to more effective personalized marketing, Stensul and our friends at Adobe and World Vision Canada recently hosted an insightful discussion, “From Batch-and-Blast to Personalized Journeys.”
Before you jump into our on-demand webinar, get a sneak peek of what we discussed.
The problem with batch-and-blast
Batch-and-blast email marketing—sending the same message to an entire audience—has long been a staple in the marketer’s toolkit. While this approach might save time, it sacrifices relevance. Modern consumers expect tailored experiences that address their specific needs and preferences. Generic emails are no longer enough to engage today’s audience and can even harm your brand’s reputation.
Why personalization matters
Personalized journeys, by contrast, offer a way to build stronger, more meaningful relationships with your audience. By leveraging data and technology, brands can deliver the right message to the right person at the right time. The result? Increased engagement, higher conversion rates, and more loyal customers.
But the journey to personalization isn’t always easy. It requires a strategic approach, streamlined processes, and effective execution tools. That’s where Adobe, Stensul, and World Vision Canada come in.
Success story: World Vision Canada
One of the highlights of this session was our case study with World Vision Canada. The organization shared how they transitioned from a batch-and-blast approach to creating dynamic, personalized email campaigns that align with their donors’ unique interests and giving histories. By leveraging Adobe Journey Optimizer and Stensul’s Email Creation Platform, World Vision Canada:
- Reduced email creation time from weeks to hours.
- Increased donor engagement through tailored content.
- Improved overall campaign performance by delivering messages that resonate.
Their success story is a powerful example of how organizations can achieve personalization at scale without overburdening their teams.
