No First Name Added
If your subscribers did not enter a first name when signing up for your newsletter, they will be addressed as "Subscriber."
If you prefer to address them as something other than "Subscriber" you can add your choice of "names", such as "Art Lover", into the First Name field.
You will manually have to edit each individual subscriber that is missing a first name.
Add Salutation to your Newsletter Content.
When editing your newsletter draft, add the following where you want the salutation to appear:
[FIRSTNAME]
For example if you want your newsletter to start out with Dear Joanna,
add:
Dear [FIRSTNAME],
to the top of your first text block content area:
Add Salutation to your Newsletter Subject Line.
When editing your newsletter draft, add
[FIRSTNAME],
to the Subject Line along with the text content.
