Since the templates are already optimized for mobile and desktop screens, Sam didn't have to worry about how the email looks on different devices. He could create a professional-looking email in just a few minutes.

Content personalization 

1. You can use the Dynamic Content element available in the template editor to show different content in the same email. This element works based on recipient details such as location, interests, or past activity, making each email feel more relevant to the person receiving it. For example, customers living in different cities can see store offers or event details specific to their location than a generic content.
   
2. Merge tags can be added to the email content to automatically add personal details like the recipient’s first name, company name, or city into the email. This makes your emails feel more personal instead of generic.
   
3. You can also personalize your email subjectline using merge tags to add the personal touch and grab recipient's attention and increase email opens.
