Going beyond basics: Smarter ecommerce marketing with Zoho Campaigns
Hello Marketers,
Welcome back to this week's Marketer's Space.
In the last post, we discussed the basics of email marketing and how to get started with email marketing in ecommerce. In this part, we'll dive much deeper into some other advanced features that can really up your game in ecommerce marketing.
Once you've tried the basics of email marketing, like abandoned cart reminders or seasonal promotions, it's tempting to stop there. But the real power of Zoho Campaigns comes when you start using these features together—and that's when your emails stop feeling like just another promo and start feeling like a natural part of the customer's journey.
This post is all about features that are often forgotten, like segmentation, recommendations, reports, and A/B testing. If you're already sending campaigns, these tools can help you refine your strategy and see better results with less effort.
Segmentation that actually works
Not all customers are the same, and treating them as one big list often leads to lower engagement.
In Zoho Campaigns, segmentation is simple to set up.
For example, you can:
- Target first-time buyers with educational content about your products.
- Send loyalty rewards to repeat customers.
- Re-engage inactive subscribers with win-back offers.
What's great is that segmentation doesn't add work to your day; it saves time. Instead of creating three different campaigns manually, you can build one with variations tailored to individual groups.
Reports that give real insights
Marketers are often overwhelmed with data. The trick is knowing which numbers actually matter. In Zoho Campaigns, the Reports dashboard shows you the essentials: open rates, click-throughs, conversions, and even revenue generated from each campaign. Instead of guessing whether an email worked, you see clear results that you can act on immediately.
A/B testing without the hassle
Have you ever wondered if "Buy now" works better as a call to action than "Shop now"? Or if sending at 10 AM yields more success than sending at 2 PM?
With A/B testing in Zoho Campaigns, you don't have to guess; you can test subject lines, email designs, and even send times, and the system automatically tells you which one performs better. That means you can make smarter decisions and design more confident campaigns. It's quick and easy and takes the guesswork out of your decisions.
Nolan's story: A real workflow
Let's look at a practical example. Nolan is a small business owner launching a new product.
Here's how he uses Zoho Campaigns:
- Sends teaser emails to build buzz.
- Uses segmentation to send different messages to new versus repeat customers.
- Creates a welcome series for fresh signups.
- Uses product recommendations to cross-sell related items.
- Sets up abandoned cart reminders to recover sales.
- Tracks performance with reports; not just clicks, but actual revenue.
This wasn't extra work on his part; Zoho Campaigns does the heavy lifting by automating everything while he focuses on the product launch itself.
Smart email marketing isn't about doing more; it's about working more efficiently. Features like segmentation, recommendations, and A/B testing can make your campaigns feel more human, while reports show you exactly what's working.
If you haven't tried these features yet, head to the ecommerce section in Zoho Campaigns and start experimenting. Your customers will notice the difference, and so will your sales.
Until next time, happy emailing!
Regards,
Yashwanth.S
