What does a properly configured Subscriber Key allow in a marketing list?

A properly configured Subscriber Key allows for multiple entries for the same email address within a marketing list. The Subscriber Key is a unique identifier for each subscriber that helps in distinguishing between different records associated with potentially the same email address. This is particularly useful in cases where a single individual may sign up for different services, products, or campaigns.

For example, if someone subscribes to different newsletters or has multiple accounts linked to the same email, the Subscriber Key ensures that each entry can be tracked and managed independently. This flexibility is essential for maintaining comprehensive subscriber data and history, ultimately leading to better targeted and personalized marketing efforts.

While tracking campaign performance, accurate audience segmentation, and automating customer interactions are crucial functionalities in a marketing platform, they are not directly tied to the role of the Subscriber Key as it primarily focuses on uniquely identifying subscribers and allowing multiple entries for the same email address.
