Hey there!
Ready to make your emails feel more personal? Let's dive into how you can add custom details to your messages using Stamina. It's like having a friendly chat with each of your contacts!
Why Personalize?
Imagine receiving an email that feels like it was written just for you. Feels good, right? Personalizing your emails can make your readers feel special and more connected to you.
Getting Started with Variables
Variables are like placeholders that get replaced with real information when you send your email. Think of them as fill-in-the-blank spots. For example, instead of writing "Hi there," you can write "Hi {{FirstName}}," and when John gets the email, it'll say, "Hi John."
Steps to Add Variables in Stamina
Upload Your Contact List: Start by uploading your list of contacts to Stamina. Make sure your list has columns like FirstName, LastName, CompanyName, etc.
Map Your Data: After uploading, Stamina will ask you to match your columns to the right variables. For instance, link your "FirstName" column to the {{FirstName}} variable.
Use Variables in Your Email:
In the email editor, place your cursor where you want to add a personal touch.
Click on the "Variables" option (usually found in the toolbar).
Choose the variable you want to insert, like {{FirstName}}.
Preview Before Sending: It's always a good idea to see how your email looks before sending it out. Use the preview feature to ensure everything appears just right.
Adding Variables to Subject Lines
Want to catch your reader's eye right from the subject line? You can add variables there too!
In the subject line field, type something like "Hey {{FirstName}}, check this out!"
When Jane receives the email, her subject line will read, "Hey Jane, check this out!"
A Quick Tip
If you have unique information you'd like to include, like a favorite product or a recent purchase, you can create custom variables. Just add a new column in your contact list with the specific info, upload it, and map it as a custom variable. Then, use it in your email like {{CustomVariable}}.
Wrapping Up
Personalizing your emails with variables is a simple way to make your communication more engaging. It shows your contacts that you value them as individuals. So, give it a try and watch your connections grow stronger!
Happy emailing!
