Contact tagging represents a huge part of email marketing that is about collecting data about your contacts.
A contact tag is a label that adds information to your email contact.
It can be:
- Interest
- Purchased product
- Downloaded content
- Geolocation
- Attended event/webinar
- Clicked in an email
- Etc.
Tagging helps you:
- Avoid spamming your subscribers,
- Know what type of content they are interested in,
- Segment them according to their behavior,
- Begin or end email automation,
- Identify their life-cycle stage.
The information you collect strictly relies on your business needs but there are 2 main types:
- Behavior-based information
- Data provided by your subscribers themselves
Data provided by your subscribers is self-explanatory. The information subscribers fill in the opt-in form.
Behavior-based information is the meta-information you add to your subscribers with contact tagging.
Such as: downloaded a specific ebook, attended your event/webinar, became a hot lead, paid, etc.
In other words, the information you collect from your contact through the customer journey.
