Segmentation
The more you know about your customers, the more you can make that experience highly personal for them. For example, if you know people are buying shirts more than shoes, you can target them with a follow-up campaign or special offer.
Predictive demographics
Predict the gender and age range of your customers so you can create advanced segments based on that data. Data + Advanced Segmentation = Increased Engagement! (Using Predictive Demographics)

Send emails to subscribers based on signup date, engagement and purchase history, location, and more. Then, send content that relates to them. (Using segmentation)
Data, data, data
If you have lifestyle shots and standard product photos you may want to test and see what your audience responds most to. If you sell socks, will people purchase mroe socks seeing them on a person, or will they make more purchases seeing the socks laid out across a seamless backgroun? Or do your subscriber interact with your campaigns when they receive in the morning, or in the evening? Or do they interact more when they see their name in the subject line?
