- **[Single Source Template Strategy](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_ceb_single_source_template.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    A Single Source template allows you to create content once and reuse the content for multiple emails, contexts, and audiences. For example, if you’re sending a campaign to multiple countries that have multiple languages, each language requires a separate email which can total 200 emails or more. The number of emails increases when you segment into commercial and transactional or other customer-based profiles. To reduce unnecessary work, create a single source template that never changes, and create new emails based on the template.
