Email Marketing a Cost-effective Tool
Email marketing has significantly wide reach, is well suited for segmentation and is a highly cost-effective tool. Since emails are easy to pass on by forwarding from your inbox or sharing on social media your message and brand can benefit from extra spread. Measurability enables you to evaluate campaign results to see what works well and what doesn’t, while also getting to know your audience better.
✔ Wide reach
✔ Filterable
✔ Cost-effective
✔ Measurable
✔ Shareable.
So what is on the table then? A part from boosting your brand and customer loyalty you can use email marketing to drive sales and traffic to your website. The measurability includes much more than open rate, in example which parts are being read, which links are being clicked and who is making a purchase or other desirable actions.
Wait now – isn’t it so that a great amount of emails either remain unopened or get quickly left aside by the reader? Yes, the reality is that coming all the way across with your message is challenging. This is why it is so important to put a certain amount of thought and care into your email marketing activities for your efforts to carry fruit. If you keep track of the essentials and manage your mailings with a solid tool you’ll soon see it is worth your while.
Producing Emails & Newsletters
Keep the following in mind when you are to create newsletters and other emails.
Professional layout makes a difference. Two things to consider:
- Clean design and graphics has an inviting and appetizing effect.
- The layout of your email should clearly communicate your brand, as is the case with all marketing material.
Never lose sight of bringing value to the recipient. For your newsletter to feel relevant and worth reading you have to make sure the content has the right proportions. A reasonable benchmark is 90 percent of a piece of content being educating and 10 per cent selling. The educating elements can contain news, tips and inspiration that in one way or another are related to the products, services or core values of your business. Continuously monitor your mailings to find out what the recipients are most interested in, and attune your content to that.
Pay attention to how you phrase the subject line. It is crucial for whether the email will be opened at all. Be aware that personal subject lines have double the open rate compared to generic subject lines.
When it comes to the subscription list a wise approach is putting engagement and interest before numbers. In other words quality before quantity. Are you hesitant on how to act according to GDPR? Find support in our resource on GDPR.
