Email campaigns are one of the most popular ways to reach subscribers and customers. Generic emails are useful for general announcements or new product updates, but they don't create any emotional connection between you and the email recipient. 

**Personalized images** are a powerful way to connect with your customers on a personal level. Tailoring the images of your emails to include the recipient's name, organization name or other personal details allows you to give them an experience that they are sure to enjoy.

Our tips:
- think about where you want the image to be in the email (e.g., in the email header, as a sticker or promo banner)
- for email **header image** in Mailchimp, use a template with **600 pixels width**
- create space for the recipient's name, company name or other element you want to personalize
- have a photo of the recipient or a company logo? Use it to personalize the content!

### Create the image link

When your image template is ready, create its unique link that you will use in your email campaign.
