Nike invests a lot of effort into Email communication. Although the cost of sending one email may be small, the cost builds up as the number of emails aggregates. Also, the user engagement governs the reputation of Nike IP addresses and the KPIs. Therefore, it is important to identify the campaigns relevant to consumers with a high propensity of engagement. The goal of the Personalized Communications team is to serve the Nike consumers with the most relevant campaign emails at the right time with the right frequency.
