  • Gmail Annotations and Product Carousels: Learn about Gmail's tools, including annotations and product carousels, that can make your emails stand out in the promotions tab.

  • Audience-Centric Strategy: Explore the significance of tailoring your approach based on the preferences and behaviours of your Gmail-using audience.
