Ehsan's Insight
AI email marketing increased open rates 15-25% through subject line optimization and send-time prediction. But open rates are a vanity metric since Apple's Mail Privacy Protection made them unreliable in 2021. The real AI email wins are in content personalization and predictive send frequency. One e-commerce company used AI to determine optimal email frequency per subscriber (ranging from daily to monthly based on engagement patterns) and reduced unsubscribes 40% while increasing revenue per email 22%. The worst use of AI in email: generating entire email bodies. AI-generated email copy converts 15-20% worse than human-written copy in every A/B test I have seen. Use AI for optimization decisions (who, when, how often). Use humans for the message itself.
