This is the most common way every marketer use to start their personalized campaign.

It help to reach out to target audience, acquire them and retain them, it is important to treat your prospect/customer as a significant asset. One of the best ways to do so is by considering them as a part of your brand rather than just a name on your mailing list.
Thus personalization should not be restricted to subscriber first name only. Here are other ways to personalize your marketing campaign or personalization alternate which you can include in your campaign marketing strategy.
Improved Segmentation
Segmenting your database on certain predefined rules help you to improve your personalized campaign. By dividing your database into various segment you would be able to cater every segment individually, based on that segment behavior, need, tastes and preferences.
Dynamic Content
Dynamic content changes based on viewer action and behavior. It allows you to deliver customized information that suits each of your prospect needs and interests.
As people meet criteria you set for your dynamic content, a variety of content will display i.e. relevant content to the viewer.
For example, a person from sports segment (Football) would get content related to his/her field. Similiarly, another person from same segment i.e sport (Cricket) would receive content related to cricket.
Recommended Emails
On the basis of customer past purchase, behavior, browse history, etc, marketers can send them recommended email. In this email marketers can recommend something to them.
