Step-by-Step Guide for Lifecycle Marketing"},"content":{"rendered":"

Creating automated personalized emails is easier said than done. According to Litmus research, 80% of marketers<\/a> recognize that personalization improves performance. Yet, poor data for segmentation, insufficient resources, and a lack of technical expertise are their common obstacles.<\/p>\n

The bumpers can appear inside the app (e.g., as interactive workflows with modals, tooltips, checklists) or outside of it (emails, push notifications).
