New home owners are known to spend hours agonizing over which shade of off-white to paint the living room, evidenced by the small strokes of eggshell, vanilla, and ivory upon the wall. We may laugh at the variety of off-white paint colors that exist, but the truth is everyone wants something different, even when the distinction is imperceptible to others.
The only “perfection,” in a paint color or an email, is in personalization.
With all the behavioral data available, email marketers should be scanning subscribers as soon as they walk in your digital door to use their preferences, interests, and patterns to send smart, personalized emails.
Email personalization through behavioral segmentation is a top email marketing trend for advanced email marketers. Find out where to look, what to pay attention to, and how to use it all for smarter email marketing.

The first thing you need is a system that functions at an optimal level so your ESP does not get in the way of KPIs. Advanced email marketing platforms allow email marketers to incorporate advanced machine learning to enhance existing strategies.
The most important benefits of an email platform with advanced machine learning are:
- Domain and ESP routing
Send emails from multiple vendors and multiple accounts on the same ESP and test which domains and vendors best meet your needs.
- Campaign analytics
Understand what works and what increases your spam and unsubscribe rates. Do smart email marketing with automated AB testing for subject lines and content for dynamic content that is already proven to increase engagement.
- Automated emails with the most engaging content possible
Sixty-four percent of email recipients open emails for the subject line. Advanced machine learning automatically iterates toward optimal open-rates based on behavioral segmentation of elements like subject lines, timing, and preferred language style.

3. Autonomic agent of things
Inside of your body pulses an invisible energy that detects your environment and directs your pulse, your vital organs, even how much saliva is in your mouth. Your autonomic nervous system is most famous for the stage-fright-inducing “fight or flight response,” but the parasympathetic part of the autonomic system maintains your bodily functions at optimal effectiveness and efficiency moment by ordinary moment, day after day.
The autonomic agent of things in email works much the same way: the sense and respond technology keeps your email systems running smarter, more smoothly, and does so automatically and undetected. The conductor of email marketing does these important functions:
- Grab a subscriber’s attention in four seconds or less (the average digital attention span)
- Use cognitive marketing techniques for better content and email pacing
Digital magazine CIO’s article on cognitive (autonomic) technology describes it this way:
Organizations are able to use machine learning techniques to make predictions that are based on data sets that are too large to be understood by humans and too unstructured to be analyzed by traditional analytics.
Use IoT, autonomic agent of things, and advanced machine learning to know what to send, when to send it, and how to get it read.
In the same way your perfect paint color is personal, your subscribers filter their inboxes for colorful content that feels just right to them.
