class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Email marketing remains one of the most effective digital marketing strategies for businesses seeking to build customer relationships, increase engagement, and drive sales. However, with consumers receiving dozens of promotional emails every day, generic email campaigns often fail to capture attention. Modern customers expect brands to understand their needs, interests, and preferences. As a result, personalization has become an essential component of successful email marketing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Personalized email marketing involves tailoring email content to match the unique characteristics, interests, and behaviors of each customer. While many businesses personalize emails by including the recipient&#8217;s first name, true personalization goes much deeper. It involves understanding customer preferences such as favorite products, purchase history, communication frequency, preferred content, location, browsing behavior, and buying habits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Customer preferences provide valuable insights that help marketers deliver relevant and meaningful messages. When customers receive emails that align with their interests, they are more likely to open the emails, engage with the content, make purchases, and remain loyal to the brand. According to industry research, personalized emails consistently achieve higher open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates than generic campaigns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This paper explores how businesses can effectively use customer preferences to personalize email marketing campaigns. It discusses different types of customer preference data, methods for collecting this information, strategies for creating personalized emails, challenges organizations may face, best practices for implementation, and concludes with a real-world case study illustrating the successful use of customer preferences in email personalization.<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Customer_Preferences\"><\/span>Understanding Customer Preferences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Customer preferences refer to the choices, interests, behaviors, and expectations that influence purchasing decisions and interactions with a business.

These technologies can analyze vast amounts of customer data in real time, enabling businesses to predict customer needs and deliver highly relevant content. Predictive analytics will help marketers anticipate purchases before customers actively search for products, while natural language generation can create individualized email copy that feels more personal.<\/p>\n<p>Interactive emails featuring embedded surveys, product carousels, and live content will further enhance customer engagement. Businesses will also place greater emphasis on privacy-first personalization by using first-party data collected directly from customers, ensuring compliance with evolving data protection regulations. As customer expectations continue to rise, companies that combine advanced technology with ethical data practices will be better positioned to build trust and foster long-term customer relationships.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_History_of_Using_Customer_Preferences_to_Personalise_Emails\"><\/span>The History of Using Customer Preferences to Personalise Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction-2\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Email marketing has undergone a remarkable transformation since its inception in the early days of the internet. What began as a simple method of sending identical promotional messages to thousands of recipients has evolved into one of the most sophisticated and personalised marketing channels available today. At the heart of this evolution lies the concept of customer preferences\u2014the collection, analysis, and application of individual customer data to create relevant, engaging, and meaningful email experiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The history of using customer preferences to personalise emails reflects broader technological advancements, changing consumer expectations, and the increasing importance of data-driven marketing. Businesses have gradually shifted from treating customers as a homogeneous audience to recognizing each individual as unique, with distinct interests, behaviours, and purchasing habits. This shift has not only improved marketing effectiveness but has also strengthened customer relationships and loyalty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This article explores the historical development of email personalisation through customer preferences, highlighting the major milestones, technological innovations, challenges, and future directions that have shaped modern email marketing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Early_Days_of_Email_Marketing_1970s%E2%80%931990s\"><\/span>The Early Days of Email Marketing (1970s\u20131990s)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Email itself was introduced in the early 1970s when computer engineer Ray Tomlinson developed the first electronic mail system. During its early years, email was primarily used for communication among researchers, universities, and government organizations. Marketing applications were virtually nonexistent because internet access was limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The first known email advertisement was sent in 1978 by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). The message was distributed to several hundred recipients promoting a new line of computers. Although it generated sales, many recipients considered it intrusive, establishing an early debate about unsolicited email marketing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, businesses gradually recognized email as a cost-effective communication tool. However, email campaigns remained extremely basic. Companies typically sent identical messages to every subscriber without considering individual interests, demographics, or purchase histories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At this stage, personalization was almost entirely absent. The only customer information typically stored consisted of:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Email address<\/li>\n<li>Customer name<\/li>\n<li>Basic contact information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Emails were often manually created and distributed using simple mailing software. The focus was on reaching as many people as possible rather than delivering relevant content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Rise_of_Customer_Databases_1990s\"><\/span>The Rise of Customer Databases (1990s)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The rapid commercialization of the internet during the 1990s dramatically changed marketing practices. Businesses began building customer databases to store valuable information about buyers and subscribers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems emerged during this period, allowing organizations to organize customer records more effectively. Instead of maintaining simple mailing lists, businesses could now track:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Purchase history<\/li>\n<li>Customer demographics<\/li>\n<li>Product interests<\/li>\n<li>Customer service interactions<\/li>\n<li>Geographic location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Although early CRM systems were relatively basic by today&#8217;s standards, they represented the first major step toward preference-based email personalization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Businesses started segmenting email lists into smaller groups rather than sending identical messages to everyone. For example, a clothing retailer could send separate promotions to men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s clothing customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Segmentation significantly improved response rates because customers began receiving messages more closely aligned with their interests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Emergence_of_Permission-Based_Marketing\"><\/span>The Emergence of Permission-Based Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">One of the most influential developments in email marketing history was the introduction of permission-based marketing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Marketing expert Seth Godin popularized this concept in the late 1990s. Rather than sending unsolicited emails, businesses encouraged consumers to voluntarily subscribe to newsletters and promotional updates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Permission-based marketing fundamentally changed how customer preferences were collected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of assuming customer interests, businesses began asking subscribers directly about their preferences through:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Signup forms<\/li>\n<li>Surveys<\/li>\n<li>Preference centres<\/li>\n<li>Registration questionnaires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Customers could indicate:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Preferred product categories<\/li>\n<li>Email frequency<\/li>\n<li>Communication topics<\/li>\n<li>Language preferences<\/li>\n<li>Geographic region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This marked the beginning of explicit preference collection, where customers actively informed companies about the types of content they wanted to receive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Growth_of_Email_Service_Providers_2000s\"><\/span>The Growth of Email Service Providers (2000s)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">During the early 2000s, email marketing platforms became increasingly sophisticated. Companies such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor, and AWeber introduced user-friendly systems that made email marketing accessible to businesses of all sizes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These platforms offered new personalization capabilities, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Merge tags for inserting customer names<\/li>\n<li>Audience segmentation<\/li>\n<li>Automated campaigns<\/li>\n<li>Scheduled email delivery<\/li>\n<li>Performance analytics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Businesses could now send emails beginning with personalized greetings such as:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Hello Sarah,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">rather than the generic:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">&#8220;Dear Customer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Although this level of personalization seems simple today, it represented a significant improvement over mass email campaigns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">More importantly, marketers began combining customer names with behavioural data, making emails feel increasingly relevant.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Behavioural_Tracking_Revolution\"><\/span>Behavioural Tracking Revolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">By the mid-2000s, online tracking technologies transformed customer preference analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of relying solely on information customers voluntarily provided, businesses could observe customer behaviour directly through website analytics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Marketers began tracking:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Pages visited<\/li>\n<li>Products viewed<\/li>\n<li>Time spent browsing<\/li>\n<li>Shopping cart activity<\/li>\n<li>Previous purchases<\/li>\n<li>Search history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Behavioural data provided a much richer understanding of customer preferences than demographic information alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For example, if a customer repeatedly browsed running shoes but never completed a purchase, an automated email could recommend similar products or offer a discount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This behavioural approach dramatically increased email relevance and conversion rates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Automation_and_Trigger-Based_Emails\"><\/span>Automation and Trigger-Based Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The introduction of marketing automation represented another major milestone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of manually sending every campaign, businesses created automated workflows triggered by customer behaviour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Examples included:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Welcome_Emails\"><\/span>Welcome Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">New subscribers automatically received welcome messages introducing the brand.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Birthday_Emails-2\"><\/span>Birthday Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Customers received personalised birthday greetings with special offers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cart_Abandonment_Emails\"><\/span>Cart Abandonment Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If customers left products in their shopping carts, automated reminders encouraged them to complete their purchases.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-Engagement_Emails\"><\/span>Re-Engagement Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Inactive subscribers received personalized incentives designed to renew their interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Automation allowed businesses to deliver personalized messages precisely when customers were most likely to respond.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Rise_of_Big_Data_2010s\"><\/span>The Rise of Big Data (2010s)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The 2010s saw explosive growth in data collection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Businesses gathered information from multiple sources, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Mobile apps<\/li>\n<li>Social media<\/li>\n<li>E-commerce websites<\/li>\n<li>Customer support systems<\/li>\n<li>Loyalty programs<\/li>\n<li>In-store purchases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This created detailed customer profiles combining explicit preferences with behavioural patterns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Instead of relying on a single purchase, marketers could identify long-term trends, such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Preferred brands<\/li>\n<li>Seasonal buying habits<\/li>\n<li>Price sensitivity<\/li>\n<li>Favorite product categories<\/li>\n<li>Shopping frequency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Big Data enabled predictive marketing, allowing businesses to anticipate customer needs before customers explicitly expressed them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dynamic_Email_Content\"><\/span>Dynamic Email Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Dynamic content transformed email personalization during the 2010s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Rather than creating separate campaigns for different customer groups, marketers could build a single email containing content that automatically changed depending on recipient preferences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Dynamic elements included:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Product recommendations<\/li>\n<li>Images<\/li>\n<li>Promotions<\/li>\n<li>Headlines<\/li>\n<li>Store locations<\/li>\n<li>Languages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For example, two customers opening the same email might see completely different products based on their browsing history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This greatly increased campaign efficiency while delivering highly personalized experiences.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Artificial_Intelligence_and_Machine_Learning\"><\/span>Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most important developments in modern email marketing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Machine learning algorithms continuously analyze customer behaviour to predict future interests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">AI now helps marketers:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Recommend products<\/li>\n<li>Predict purchase timing<\/li>\n<li>Optimize send times<\/li>\n<li>Generate personalized subject lines<\/li>\n<li>Select email content<\/li>\n<li>Identify inactive subscribers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Unlike traditional rule-based systems, AI continuously improves as it processes more customer interactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This allows personalization to become increasingly accurate over time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customer_Preference_Centres\"><\/span>Customer Preference Centres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Modern organizations increasingly encourage customers to manage their own communication preferences through dedicated preference centres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These allow subscribers to choose:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Topics of interest<\/li>\n<li>Product categories<\/li>\n<li>Email frequency<\/li>\n<li>Preferred communication channels<\/li>\n<li>Newsletter subscriptions<\/li>\n<li>Language settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Preference centres improve customer satisfaction by giving individuals greater control over marketing communications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">They also reduce unsubscribe rates because customers can modify preferences instead of leaving mailing lists entirely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Privacy_Regulations_and_Ethical_Personalization\"><\/span>Privacy Regulations and Ethical Personalization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">As personalization became more sophisticated, concerns regarding privacy also increased.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Governments introduced regulations protecting consumer data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Major privacy laws include:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/li>\n<li>California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)<\/li>\n<li>CAN-SPAM Act<\/li>\n<li>Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These regulations require businesses to:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Obtain consent<\/li>\n<li>Explain data collection practices<\/li>\n<li>Protect customer information<\/li>\n<li>Allow customers to update preferences<\/li>\n<li>Provide easy unsubscribe options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Modern personalization emphasizes transparency and customer trust alongside marketing effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Omnichannel_Customer_Preferences\"><\/span>Omnichannel Customer Preferences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Today&#8217;s personalization extends beyond email alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Businesses integrate customer preferences across multiple communication channels, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Email<\/li>\n<li>SMS<\/li>\n<li>Mobile applications<\/li>\n<li>Websites<\/li>\n<li>Social media<\/li>\n<li>Customer service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For example, a customer who purchases a product through a mobile app may later receive personalized maintenance tips via email.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This creates a consistent customer experience regardless of communication channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Using_Customer_Preferences\"><\/span>Benefits of Using Customer Preferences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The historical shift toward preference-based personalization has generated numerous benefits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Businesses experience:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Higher open rates<\/li>\n<li>Increased click-through rates<\/li>\n<li>Improved conversion rates<\/li>\n<li>Greater customer loyalty<\/li>\n<li>Reduced unsubscribe rates<\/li>\n<li>Better return on marketing investment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Customers benefit from:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>More relevant content<\/li>\n<li>Fewer unwanted emails<\/li>\n<li>Personalized recommendations<\/li>\n<li>Better shopping experiences<\/li>\n<li>Increased trust<\/li>\n<li>Greater control over communications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The mutual value created by personalization explains why it has become a standard practice in digital marketing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenges_in_Email_Personalization-2\"><\/span>Challenges in Email Personalization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Despite its advantages, personalized email marketing presents several challenges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These include:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data_Quality-2\"><\/span>Data Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Incorrect or outdated customer information reduces personalization

class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Advanced personalization often requires sophisticated software and technical expertise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Information_Overload\"><\/span>Information Overload<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Collecting excessive data without meaningful analysis may produce ineffective campaigns.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customer_Expectations\"><\/span>Customer Expectations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">As personalization improves, customers increasingly expect every communication to be relevant and timely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Businesses must continuously innovate to meet these rising expectations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Future_of_Customer_Preference_Personalization\"><\/span>The Future of Customer Preference Personalization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The future of personalized email marketing will likely be shaped by continued advances in artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and privacy-enhancing

voluntarily provide accurate preference data through surveys, quizzes, loyalty programs, and interactive experiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This approach strengthens trust while maintaining effective personalization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The history of using customer preferences to personalize emails demonstrates how technological innovation and changing customer expectations have transformed digital marketing. From the earliest days of generic mass emails to today&#8217;s AI-driven, data-informed campaigns, personalization has become central to successful customer communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The evolution began with simple mailing lists and basic customer records before progressing through database marketing, segmentation, behavioural tracking, automation, dynamic content, artificial intelligence, and omnichannel integration. Along the way, businesses learned that understanding customer preferences leads to more relevant communication, stronger relationships, and improved marketing performance.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, increasing awareness of privacy and data protection has reshaped how organizations collect and use customer information. Modern personalization is no longer solely about delivering targeted offers; it also involves respecting customer consent, safeguarding personal data, and providing transparency about how preferences are used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Use Customer Preferences to Personalise Emails: A Case Study Introduction Email marketing remains one of the most effective digital marketing strategies for businesses&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[270],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-digital-marketing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Use Customer Preferences to Personalise Emails - Lite14 Tools &amp;
