Tags are when you add labels to your contacts so you can provide them with more targeted information. Think about them as sub-categories to lists.
Some Tag options include the contact’s interests, birthday month, location, VIPs, unengaged or where you met them. A Tag can be anything that helps you better identify your subscriber.
Once you’ve added Tags to your contacts, you can choose which Tag categories you want to reach with your next email campaign or automation.
