Email marketing means more than just sending out mass emails to everyone who has ever bought something from your business. A properly conducted email marketing campaign can be complicated to put together, but if you know what you are doing, the rewards can be great. Read on to find out how to do so.
Provide exclusive content in your marketing emails. By providing those on your mailing list with information not available on your site, your customers are more likely to read each message, and begin looking forward to them. Your customers will feel special and appreciated when they receive relevant information in your emails.
Consistency is important. Always make sure that your emails contain the same business logo, colors, and font style. The font used in your emails must be easy to read. Eventually, people will begin to recognize your emails, and they'll pay closer attention to them. When your customers are familiar with your emails, it makes the marketing more effective.
If you have images or graphics, put them on the left side of the email message. Make sure that your call to action element is always on this side. Research has documented that this location produces almost double the number of clicks to your product, service or website than placing these elements anywhere else does.
While you want to use your email marketing to improve your sales. The only way to get potential customers to read your emails is to convince them that they have value. To do this, your emails should always contain concrete, useful information and relevant links, and not just generic sales fluff.
Running a great email marketing campaign can seem like a daunting prospect, but do not let your fears prevent you from getting started. As you have seen, it does not have to be a onerous chore. If you remember the advice you have read in the preceding article, you should be able to put together a highly effective campaign.
Great post!
Don't forget about personalization, or dynamic content if you wish.
The customer is more likely to respond positively if the content provided is tailored towards them, just a dynamic heading with a "Hello [First name]" makes it less likely that they will mark the email as spam.
The more you can make the emails dynamic the more likely they are to click!
