You can also personalize your email campaigns by using variables. For example, if you send an email to a subscriber named John and in your email you include:


Dear %First_name%


Then when John receives the email from you, it will say:


Dear John


It is important to note that all variable that should be used are on the bottom of this "Add Campaign" page.


You first have to add a field for the First Name. Then go to this "Add Campaign" page and scroll down, you will see the variable to use.
