Is email marketing dead? Not at all. It's just evolving.

In this guide, you'll learn how to stop guessing and start sending highly personalized, automated, and sales-driven emails that get opened — and convert.

🔄 Automate Product-Powered Emails

Clerk’s AI lets you add live product recommendations to any email flow, including:

  • 🛍️ Newsletters (show bestsellers, brand/category matches)
  • 🎉 Welcome Emails (show personalized suggestions based on browsing)
  • 🔁 Recurring Campaigns (like payday specials or end-of-month discounts)

All you do is embed dynamic content blocks using three key Logics:

  1. Keyword Recommendations
  2. Best Sellers in Category
  3. Visitor Recommendations

🎯 Run Campaigns Like Ads

Use Clerk’s Auto Email Campaigns to:

  • Focus on specific brands, categories, or high-margin items
  • Let the AI pick the best time and audience for each campaign
  • Combine with Audience insights to target based on real behavior

📌 Tip: Aim to run at least 20 active campaigns for best results.

⏰ Stay Top-of-Mind with Triggers

Clerk reacts in real time to user behavior with:

  • Abandoned Cart
  • Abandoned Browse
  • Abandoned Search — a unique feature that sends a reminder after a user searches but doesn’t buy

📬 Example: Search “Demon Slayer Rice Bowl” but don’t purchase? Get a reminder email.

📆 Recurring Emails for Predictable Wins

  • Start-of-month: Hottest products (post-payday spending)
  • End-of-month: Personalized discounted picks (budget-friendly conversions)

🎯 Set these up to run monthly or weekly. Great for consistent engagement.

✍️ Design Emails That Convert

  • Catchy subject lines tied to specific products shown
  • High-quality visuals: image, name, price, discount, CTA
  • Brand consistency: logo, colors, fonts, footer links
  • Include unsubscribe link (compliance = trust)

Use Clerk’s design editor or embed with HTML for full control.
