How to Create Personalization Tags
- When importing your mailing list on ClosersHQ, match your personalization columns to their tag names, as shown below.
Select 'Custom field' if the tag name you desire to use is not on the list. In this case, the tag name will equal that column's header on your list.
If you do not desire to use a certain column in this campaign, select 'Ignore column' in the dropdown menu.

Personalization in Email Body
As seen in both the email subject and email body, inserting personalization tags appear as this:
{{First name, fallback}}
The term 'fallback' in any personalization tag is meant to be replaced with a value that can serve as an alternative to the personalizing word if the latter is not found or something goes wrong. For example;
If we enter; Hello {{First name, dear friend}}!
We will get results like Hello Pat!, Hello Ray!, etc.
However, if it comes across a prospect with no first name, it will display; Hello dear friend!
Note: The word 'fallback' is auto-deleted if not replaced with a meaningful alternative.
You can use as many personalization tags as possible and anywhere in your email copy.
A good mix of personalization and spintax can help you create outstanding emails that will captivate your audience, as illustrated below:
