If you’re an active business on Shopify, you’re going to collect a lot of customer information on your website. There are lots of things that you can do with a list of customers on your website. For one, you can send email marketing content to customers, with permission. This can increase your revenues very quickly. For every $1 that you spend on your email marketing, you will generate $38-$44 in revenue. Profile design apps can also come into play.

Part of the success of these programs is that you have accurate records. For instance, this will include email and customer names. If you don’t have these details, there are several problems. For one, the customer might not get their emails from you. Another concern is that if you have the wrong information, you might offend your customers, who would not want to buy from you again.

Therefore, you might need to regularly change the customer name or email address at any time. Luckily, Shopify has a lot of great tools that allow you to do this. It can be done through the use of the app, like this one here. Or you can do it manually that takes just five minutes to complete and is really easy to do.
