Benefits of EMAIL MARKETING
Email marketing…
- Connects you with your target audience, keeping you top of mind when people need what you offer.
- Keeps your customers in a buying cycle by continually offering deals and discounts.
- Keeps your audience informed about new services, products, partnerships, and other sharable things.
Consider this:
When you make a social media post to promote your offer, you depend on that post getting seen AND that your customer is on the platform where it exists. If a platform shuts down, you lose every single one of those connections.
The same cannot be said with your email list. It is your list to take with you wherever you go, and use it when needed. This is one reason why email marketing offers incredible value to your business.
Email Marketing Techniques to Get High Open Rates
There is a proven structure to a well-received email campaign. Our email marketing specialists will follow this structure to inspire action and engagement when your emails show up in someone’s inbox.
Email marketing specialists pay attention to:
- Choosing subject lines to tease but not tell (so the email is opened).
- Using conversational language so people feel like they are being delivered content of personal value.
- Infusing your unique personality so your audience grows to like you, making them more open to buying in the future.
- Avoiding spammy words that can trigger emails to go straight into junk mail.
- Deciding what day and time to send emails based on audience engagement.
- Analyzing open rates, click rates, and unsubscribes to inform us of ongoing strategy adjustments.
