Introduction to Profile enrichment

The more relevant the content of your newsletter, the better the results. Segmentation, dynamic content and personalization are Spotler functions that can help with this. Terms such as 'Big Data', 'database marketing' and 'degree of profile completion' are also related. But let's start from the beginning: How well do you actually know your readers?

To be able to send relevant mailings, you will need information about your readers. There are various ways you can supplement this information. For example, you can record (click) behavior, create links with other systems, or ask the readers themselves for the information. The latter option is the one we will work with in this application: a special mailing in which we ask the reader to complete their profile.
