Tips For Becoming Successful At Email Marketing

By Jennings Ray


Marketing your company means investigating all avenues of media, including social media, article marketing and even email marketing. Since you have to take one step at a time, today let's begin by learning all we can about email marketing and how to create an effective campaign that increases your websites' profit.

When following up to your customers via email, you could try following up with some kind of reminder. For example, you could add a "visit today" button onto your ad. In addition, the closing of the postscript could inform your customers to make sure they do not disregard the CTO.

When you ask people to opt-in, let them know what to expect. Tell them what you will be sending and how often you will send it. People will be more likely to sign up if they know that you are not going to flood their inboxes with wordy emails that they have no intention of reading.

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.

Follow up with contacts you meet at trade shows. Collect people's phone numbers when they stop by your table and call them within a couple of weeks of meeting them. Use the follow-up call to check in with your contact and ask him if he would like to receive your marketing newsletter by email.

Let customers know how to add your email address to their "safe sender list". Many people do not know how to prevent certain emails from being sent to their spam folder. Inform them of how to prevent this from happening and encourage them to add you to their address book.

Give your marketing emails the same consideration that you give your site content and other marketing materials. Too often businesses take a too-casual approach to their email marketing efforts, and seemingly small errors like typos end up undermining their readers' perception of their level of professionalism. Before you add an email to your marketing rotation, ask yourself if it would inspire you to buy.

Give different options to your customers for an effective campaign. Tell the subscribers you have how many messages they're going to get and when to expect them. Also let them know what kind of information you're going to need from them. They will feel more comfortable if they feel they have more control.

Everyone knows that email filters are getting more and more strict. Graphics and other things included in emails are blocked out, so a reader might not even see what you are trying to say. Therefore, a good piece of advice is to use plain text with a hyperlink to your site.

Make sure your email campaign matches your brand. Use the same logos, fonts, colors as well as a similar messaging style to what your readers could find on your website. This helps the receivers of your email feel comfortable with the content and makes them more likely to open it.

To ensure that your email marketing is really helping and not hindering your business, pay close attention to the spam that you once deleted from your own email account. See what kind of language you yourself respond most negatively to an alternately what kind of topics make you more likely to open a marketing email.
