Channel Substitute.
I’ve seen so many wasteful forms of communication that could be handled more effectively with CRM channels—yet brands continue relying on outdated, inefficient methods. ✅ Event Reminders via Call Centers? → A well-timed push notification or SMS would be faster, cheaper, and ensure the message actually lands. ✅ Mass Email Blasts for Promotions? → A behavior-based CRM journey can tailor offers dynamically based on customer interest, rather than sending generic discounts. ✅ Website Pop-Ups for Account Reactivation? → A personalized email or in-app message triggered by inactivity would recover users without annoying everyone. ✅ Store Flyers for Loyalty Programs? → Why not leverage CRM automation to send a targeted push or SMS only to engaged customers instead of wasting print materials? ✅ Manual Follow-Ups for Onboarding? → A multi-step CRM journey with email + in-app education would ensure higher activation rates with less manual work. So many day-to-day marketing efforts could be more effective, personalized, and cost-efficient just by leveraging CRM channels properly. That's it, just a note of things I see that drives me crazy.Using Attachments on Email Templates
Hello guys, I have an email campaign that contains an attachment to be included in sendout. With the Braze magic, is it possible to do it? Is anyone find a solution?] Attachment can be a pdf, jpg or png. Can you please share your experience or a way to do it? Thanks!
Linking to the new Preference Center
Hey Community, I'm currently looking into implementing a new Preference Center in our Emails which are adapted based on the Country where the user lives. Currently all new Preference centers are launched but I am having trouble adding these to the email. A simple copy of the liquid code does not result in the preference center showing up in the Email. I have followed all the steps from the https://www.braze.com/docs/user_guide/message_building_by_channel/email/preference_center/dnd_preference_center/#step-5-customize-your-confirmation-page. Is there maybe something I am missing?Users marketing consent
Hi everyone, We're looking for ways to increase the number of contactable users. Some key actions we're considering include: A/B testing in the onboarding phase Ad hoc campaigns with in-app notifications for unsubscribed users Creating subscription groups (as we currently don't have any) Has anyone come across a successful case study on this? Or perhaps key metrics, like average user consent rates by industry, or useful websites for inspiration? We're struggling a bit with translating theory into practice, so any insights would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance! Matteo
Benchmark of Re-consent Rates
Hi everyone, I am currently planning a re-consent campaign and have segmented our audience into 4 groups; highly engaged, moderate, lapsed and dormant. I am trying to get a sense of the reconsent rates for each segment to better predict business impact. If you have recently run a similar campaign - especially in the ticketing, live event, luxury goods or marketplace industries - could you share any insights or approximate success rates? Any benchmarks or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
