In 2023, email marketing is expected to play a crucial role for brands during a period of economic uncertainty. Research suggests that maintaining a stable investment in marketing, particularly in email marketing, can help companies outpace their competition. Open rates, which have traditionally been seen as a key metric for email success, are becoming less reliable due to privacy features that mask IP activity. As a result, email marketers will focus on more reliable email-tracking metrics, such as click-through rates, conversion rates, bounce rates, and unsubscribe rates, to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns. Hyper-segmentation and hyper-personalization in email marketing will become the norm, with the use of zero-party data (data freely shared by users) enabling brands to provide more relevant messages. Interactive emails will be important for improving engagement, allowing subscribers to complete actions without leaving the email. AI tools and features will help enhance email marketing performance by assisting with subject line creation, timing of email delivery, and email validation. Email verification at signup will become essential for maintaining deliverability and keeping email databases clean and engaged. Email security awareness will increase as phishing attacks continue to rise, and brands will focus on educating customers to identify fake emails. Omnichannel communications will be vital for providing a consistent customer experience across multiple channels. Finally, customers will demand more brand authenticity in email communications, with personalized and unique messaging becoming more prevalent.
