Happy new year everyone! We hope you have recovered from 2016 and your first week of 2017 has been a positive one.

2017 is looking to be a big year for us at Pure360. With releases such as a new template library and group reporting in the pipeline, it’s safe to say we’re excited for what the future holds for both us and for our customers.

But before we get carried away, we wanted to reflect on what 2016 meant for Pure360, particularly what we brought to our customers. In total we made 35 software releases, that’s an average of one every 1.5 weeks! Read on to learn more about our favourites.

[/vc_column_text][mk_image src=”http://www.pure360.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/PureTargeting-Recommendation.png” image_width=”833″ image_height=”350″ crop=”false” svg=”false” lightbox=”false” group=”_general” frame_style=”simple” target=”_self” caption_location=”inside-image” align=”left” margin_bottom=”24″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”56″]We made PureTargeting much easier to use through improvements to our Drag & Drop Editor. You can now use the Drag & Drop Editor to easily add personalised content to your emails via PureTargeting Recommendation Blocks.

Here are some of the ways that PureTargeting Recommendation Blocks can be used:

  • Personalise emails further with content that renders when customers open, not when you press send
  • Recommend relevant products to your customers based on their purchase and browse history
  • Use Countdown Timers to increase urgency,promote sale periods and next day delivery
  • Integrate live Twitter feeds into email to increase followers and share social media content
  • Create unique or multiple-use voucher codes to drive revenue from each campaign

You are able to choose from numerous popular channels including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Medium, TripAdvisor and many more. These are all responsive components, so will automatically reformat themselves on mobile and tablet devices.
