Email Marketing Doesn't Have To Be Tricky

By Jennings Ray


You've heard of spam, but do you really know what it is? Even more important is knowing how to avoid the perception that your email marketing campaign is spam. If you'd like to learn how to create emails which market your products without being thrown into a junk folder, read on.

An excellent tip for email marketing is to follow up with some type of update on your products or services that you are providing. For example, you could add a "buy now" feature onto your email. The ending of your email could inform your readers to keep in mind the up-sell as well.

Insert a link to your subscription form into your marketing newsletters. That way, if your customers forward marketing emails to their friends, their friends can easily subscribe to your list too. Using this strategy makes it easy for you to build a large list of potential customers who have agreed to receive your marketing emails.

Treat each reader like a relationship. Ask in the first email for permission to send more. In the second email, tell them what discounts, products and services they can expect in future emails. In the third email and after, follow through with the content you promised to provide them with.

Make sure your emails are consistent with any branding you have done. You should be including your company logos and anything else unique to your business in your emails. Customers should be able to recognize your emails when they arrive in their in-boxes so that they are not automatically deleted.

Use passive and active feedback to make your email marketing efforts stand out. Active feedback is exactly what you would expect: asking reader opinions in the form of surveys or questionnaires. However, passive feedback is much more subtle and can even be invisible to your readers. Use the tools at your disposal to analyse how many people read your emails and how often the links within are clicked.

When you are building an effective email marketing campaign, you need to have the proper sign-up forms on your company website. Make sure you have them on every page, and also make sure that they are in the proper locations on your site pages. This is key to getting the customers to sign up.

You should try and build an email list the best that you can from networking in person as well as on the Internet. You should not buy or rent lists of names that you will email to drum up business. There is no guarantee that any of the people you contact will be interested and you may even end up getting reported to your email service provider.

In conclusion, email marketing has become a favourable way to market a product, mainly due to the Internet's popularity. Now you know the most important aspects of email marketing. By using these tips properly, you will not only become successful at email marketing, but you will find an increase in business.
