Last time we talked about boosting engagement from new sign ups. Today we’ll dig a bit deeper into multi-track and dynamic segmentation.

Let’s dive in.

Multi-Track Email Marketing

Top marketers are running multi-track delivery strategies. Often incorporated with Dynamic Segments and Domain Segmentation, multi-track marketing seeks to target different sets of recipients within your audience to enhance performance. After-all, the key to inbox placement is sending relevant content to the recipients that want it.

The most commonly used segments focus on engagement:

Onboarding - This track is used to send engaging offers to newly opted in recipients to establish a series of interactions.
Re-engagement - For recipients that are less interested as of late. Similar to the onboarding process but should be treated as a distinct group of their own.
Most Engaged - Opened or clicked in the last 3-5 emails.
Somewhat Engaged - Opened or clicked in the last 5-15 emails.
Least Engaged - Opened or clicked in the last 16-30 emails.

Last week's post covers the onboarding track in more detail. Similar strategies can be incorporated to target other tracks. For example, with a new sign up, you would want to send a few messages in the first week, a re-engagement track would space 2-3 deliveries over the course of 2-3 months. No sense in continuing to waste time, money, and effort on recipients that generate 0 ROI at a risk to inbox placement for interested recipients.

Dynamic Segmentation

Dynamic segments may sound like a fancy new buzzword but it’s something we’ve all seen before. The dynamic in Dynamic Segmentation refers to keeping track of recent engagement.

ReachMail’s standard List Segments already allow senders to use/build filters for open and click data. For example, a List Segment with the criteria: LastOpened more recent than 30 days ago is a Dynamic Segment since the open filter uses a dynamic time filter instead of a static date like. LastOpened more recent than January 1st, 2020.
