Successful Email Marketing Tips

by Heather | Feb 10, 2014 | Email Marketing, News and Events

If you’re like most of us, you probably have two or three email newsletters that you signed up for but no longer really pay much attention to.

You haven’t taken the time to unsubscribe from them yet, but you find them to be an annoying distraction rather than a helpful resource.

That’s bad news for the companies in question, and you certainly don’t want to join them by annoying your customers.

Here are a handful of tips to make sure you keep your email newsletter interesting, relevant, and must-read material:

Timing Your Email is Everything

Most companies don’t need to contact customers more than once a week, and even that might be too often for a lot of businesses. Sometimes, you can get a much bigger response by sending less than you can buy inundating customers with more.

Segment Your List

Divide your email list into groups organized by topic then only send email to people on your list interested in those certain topics. For example, if you’re an accountant, don’t send real estate tax code updates to your restaurant clients.

Use Headlines that Sell

In this case, “selling” doesn’t refer to products or services, but attention. In other words, you really have to do everything you can to convince subscribers to open your message rather than ignore it. Some services, such as Campaign Monitor and MailChimp offer A/B Testing so you can choose the most successful subject for your campaign.

Balance Articles with Sales Pitches

While your email newsletter will undoubtedly contain marketing messages, don’t lead with those. Instead, open with informative articles that your readers will look forward to. Also consider leaving your promotional material on the landing page of the website as opposed to the email message.

Give Subscribers Something for Reading

One of the best ways to hold on to your email contacts is by offering something in your email newsletter that they can’t get elsewhere, like a special promotion code or a first look at new products and discounts.
