Many an online business has been made, or broken, by a single email marketing campaign. If you do it right it can go viral, driving massive traffic to your website. If you do it wrong, on the other hand, it can sink your company. Read this article in full to find tips and techniques to teach you how to do it in a way that benefits your company.
The beginning and conclusion of your marketing email should include a call to action for your customers. Be clear about what you want your customer to do, and include at least two obvious links to your site. Use clear suggestions that direct your customers to the offer your email is promoting.
Tie together one clear point in your email message. You don’t want your consumers to be overwhelmed or bored by the content in your email. Focus on a single message within your email and write a short copy which entices your customer to click through to read more. Customers will be more likely to read, visit your site and buy, if they don’t have to sift through a lot of extra information.
Even though it should be obvious, it is important enough to state over and over: Never send unsolicited emails. You should have explicit permission from everyone you send marketing emails to. This is about more than trying not to upset them; a recipient who considers your email spam can cause trouble for you with your service provider.
Make use of A/B testing for variations on your subject lines. Pick one email message, divide up your mailing list in two and send them out with the different subject lines. You can learn which subject wording is most influential in getting your customer base to open your messages.
When you know what to do, creating an email marketing campaign will be easy, effective and profitable. You’ll better your online reputation while building profits, and the initial investment of both time and money is small. There is no better way to grow your business, so start creating your campaign today!
