Email Marketing Mastery: What You Should Know

By Meagan Smith


Understanding the ins and outs of email marketing is key when embarking on a new campaign. Avoiding the junk filter and ensuring your reader actually looks at the email is key, but what tricks can you use to ensure your email is effective? Read on for the best advice on the Internet!

Your subject line should be interesting and informative. Always remember that the title or subject will be the first impression a reader sees upon opening their inbox, so it is important to make sure it is funny, interesting, and makes them want to see the rest of the message. Once the reader opens your message, they will continue reading.

Create an agenda for delivery of newsletters and make sure to follow up on it. The newsletters should be delivered at the same time every week. Your customers want you to mail them the newsletters timely, as you guaranteed. Use brisk and captivating subject lines. A subject line should have less than 60 characters, so that it interests the customer. This increases the chance of a customer opening the mail. If it's not possible to have a short subject, you should include the most crucial words first so that they don't get cut off.

Use quick and catchy subject lines. If a subject line has less than 60 characters, it has a better chance of attracting attention. This means it will have a higher open rate than a subject that goes on for too long. If a long subject is unavoidable, include the most important words first so it will not become truncated. Use email previewers to your advantage when using preheaders. A pre-header is the highlighted initial text of the email body, positioned at the top of the email. Email clients such as gmail display preheaders after the subject, which is an attention-getter.

Avoid sending important emails on holidays. Most people are busy those days and they might ignore your email. Although, you should make sure what kind of an audience you're targeting such as sending emails about Black Friday or other important occasions. Apart from your own efforts, the advice given above can change how you market your project from a dysfunctional business to a gripping email. Apply them on current or new projects to boost accomplishment.
