Example

Content, copy and recommendations displayed in a common marketing email template cater to the recipient’s interests and affinities in real time. After the shopper receives the original email and opens it, she does some additional browsing and may make a purchase. When she opens the email again, the recommendations are updated to reflect her recent activity so the suggestions are relevant to her current shopping habits.
