Do you want to personalize content to your campaign and other settings automatically? Smart Tags can save your time by allowing you to add useful details to your campaigns. However, most personalization tools are difficult to use if you don’t have coding knowledge.
By using Optinmonster, you can easily personalize your marketing campaigns with dynamic smart content to boost your engagement as well as website sales.
In this article, we’ll show you a step-by-step guide on how to use smart tags in your Optinmonster campaigns.
What are Smart Tags?
A smart tag is a bit of code that allows you to add text to your campaign. Smart Tags are displayed in curly braces that look something like this:
{{smart_tag}}
For example, you are promoting a campaign for a limited period of time and you’d like to show a visitor’s name or current day of the week automatically.
