Leveraging Behavioral Data for Personalized Retargeting Emails
Use behavioral data to send smarter, high-converting retargeting emails. Learn top personalization tactics that drive results in 2025.
Personalization Starts With Behavior—Not Just a First Name
Personalization isn’t just about saying “Hi {{FirstName}}” anymore. In 2025, the real secret to retargeting email success lies in behavioral data.
When you tailor your email based on what your users do (or don’t do), you create highly relevant, timely, and conversion-focused emails that feel like they were made just for them.
This guide shows you how to leverage behavioral data to personalize your retargeting emails—and how tools like SenderWiz help automate this process at scale.
What Is Behavioral Email Data?
Behavioral data refers to actions your audience takes across your website, product, emails, or app.
It includes:
🛒 Products viewed
⌛ Time on page
📩 Emails opened/clicked
🧭 Funnel stage completed
🛑 Abandonment points
🎯 Past conversions or skipped offers
These insights allow you to send context-aware messages that increase engagement and drive action.
Why Behavioral Data Drives Higher Email Performance
✅ Emails feel timely and relevant ✅ Higher open and click-through rates ✅ Better conversion rates (2–3x more likely to convert) ✅ Reduced unsubscribes and spam complaints
When your emails align with user intent, they don’t feel like marketing—they feel like help.

Plan level
Pages viewed
Location or industry
📬 SenderWiz allows block-level personalization for hyper-relevant messages.
