The Power of Personalized Video Emails

Christmas Campaign Test Case

Challenge

The average person’s email inbox is filled with marketing messages and sales announcements on any given day. For Sales and Marketing professionals, standing out during the festive season can be quite a challenge.

An Experian study showed that emails with personalized subject lines are 26% more likely to be opened than those without and Rich Relevance found that revenue is 5.7 times higher in emails that employ personalization.

With this in mind, in December 2023, D-ID decided to put its technology to the test in a unique Christmas email marketing campaign. We aimed to gauge the impact of personalization in email marketing open and conversion rates by comparing personalized videos against non-personalized ones. The tool we used was our brand-new personalized email marketing integration.

Campaign Overview

D-ID leveraged its cutting-edge AI-generated video technology to create two distinct email campaigns for Christmas. The focus was on providing a personalized experience to Group A while offering a standard message to Group B.

Email Content

Both groups received an email with the subject line “Your Xmas gift is here! 🌟🎄”. The body of the email wished recipients a joyful holiday season. There was one key difference in the video content:

Group A (personalized): Addressed the recipient by their first name and offered 20 Studio credits

Group B (non-personalized): A generic greeting without personalization and offered 20 Studio credits

Campaign Results

Conversion Rate: A significant difference was observed in the conversion rates, with the personalized email achieving a 300% higher rate.

Analysis

The campaign’s success hinged on the power of personalization. By tailoring the video greetings, the campaign was able to establish a deeper connection with the recipients and increase engagement and conversion rates. The use of personalization also helped to create a sense of relevance and importance.
