Email marketing is still the best tool to approach targeted audiences and keep them engaged to develop leads. It is growing at a rapid pace – Gmail alone has 1 billion email users and there will be 3 billion email users by 2020. Growth of emails is in favor of marketers but it has become tougher to perform in email marketing. Here I am sharing the best email marketing strategy for 2017 and beyond 1) Send emails to audiences that want to hear from you Remove email ids with low rate engagement activity as it impacts domain reputation in the long run. Every mail counts and mails that are deleted or marked spam reduces credibility of the sender. 2) Send emails with an objective No mail should be send without an objective in mind. There should be a goal to achieve with email marketing. For instance, the recipients could be asked to fill a form on which they can specify their likings and disliking. The recipients could be given options like clicking on a link. 3) Personalize and test your emails Nothing works better than personalization of emails. For instance emails with first names with recipients in the subject line have higher click through rate than emails starting with Dear Customer. 4) Make your subject line clear The subject line must give a clear picture of the message so that the recipients don’t click delete or mark spam. You can personalize the subject line instead of making it like a clickbait. 5) Use personalized account for email marketing Create a personalized email account for marketing instead of sending mails from a “no reply” account. Recipients like communicating with persons and not with computers. 6) Experiment with sending mails on different days Do you send emails on a specific day like Tuesday? If yes then stop this practice at once. Tuesday is the busiest day of the week as recipients get many mails on this day. If you don’t want your email to get buried under official makes of the recipients then schedule your mails so that you get expected results. 7) Send mails to customers who’ve submitted forms and not those whose contacts you’ve imported When a customer fills your form, he provides his email id for marketing and also he specifies his interests. But the email list you buy might contain customers not interested in your offer. 8) Try knowing why your mails aren’t opened Chances are that some recipients won’t open your mail. But you can figure out the reason for this cold shoulder attitude and increase the opening rate of your emails. 9) Stop sending mails to the recipients that mark your messages as spam Understand the difference between mails not opened and marked spam. If your mails aren’t opened, it could be due to the recipients missing the mails. But if the recipients are marking your mails spam then it is a very serious matter. Discontinue sending spam mails as it can impact your domain reputation negatively. 10) Do an email marketing course to know more about marketing with emails Learn more about email marketing from a course. Find a digital marketing institute where you can learn basics of email marketing and also get tips to improve your email messages. Conclusion Email marketing has become challenging but it is still working. Its advantage is that it establishes quick connection between brands and targeted audiences. Also it provides an opportunity to become creative or straightforward with your messages. Also you can target each recipient individually and in this way improve the results. The best way to improve your email marketing is take training from an expert. Read the full article

Email is still the most preferred way of communication and it is far ahead than any other channel including social media like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Cumulative data of email shows that approximately 205 billion mails are sent every day for communication, messaging, making offers and as reminders. The data further reveals that on an average a person receives approximately 122 emails from different sources and spends around 3.5 hours of his working day managing his inbox. It is certainly a huge number. But most mails are marked spam or sent to junk folder to be deleted. It is so because most marketers take email marketing lightly. Considering the number of mails sent and the time spend on scanning mails, email marketing is an opportunity, if you can make your mails seen and read. Let’s see how you can improve prospects of your emails Customer Segmentation Segment your customers according to their needs and draft mails for every need instead of sending one mail to everyone. Enthusiasts often make this mistake and get their mails marked spam or deleted. A simple way to categorization of customers is following RFM Recency: Last time the targeted customer made a purchase Frequency: It is frequency of shopping Monetary Value: Amount spent on each shopping Segmenting customers can help you target potential buyers and increase your chances of making sales through email marketing. You should at least consider the last two factors – Frequency and Monetary Value, before drafting an email for a customer. Know whether he is a frequent shopper and how much he spends on shopping before making an offer to him. Corporate Domain Give your introduction to the customer instead of keeping him guessing about whereabouts of the mail. And it is directly related to credibility of your business. If you aren’t traceable, you will become unrecognizable and unbelievable. Mails that come with addresses like look doubtful hence marked spam. Get a corporate domain for your business and send mail from an authorized mailing address. Email Design After segmentation and getting a corporate address, you should focus on creating an attractive email design that not interests customers but also reflects your business in letter and spirit. Make use of text, images, videos and links for creating an interesting email message. Avoid ambiguous words and make direct offer to customers. Subject Line The first thing that gets noticed in an email message is its subject. You have created an email message and you are certain that the customers will respond to the mail but it is subject line that decides whether the mail will be opened or not. If the subject is deceptive or irrelevant to the customer then he will mark the mail spam. The subject should have crux of the mail but it should be precise. Easy opt-out option Together with getting an offer, the customer should also have the option to opt-out of the email notification and the opt-out option should be clear and visible on the mail. It shows that care for the privacy of your customers. It has another advantage that is it filters your email list. Check out those not interested in the offers. Send a welcome mail Treat every customer in your mailing list individually by sending a welcome mail and also specify what the customer will receive in mails and how could he take advantage of the offers. The welcome mail will build your reliability and the customer will give his consent to receive mails. Also you can try some confidence building measures like offering free goodies with welcome mail. Good Presentation Respect time of your customers. They are too busy to read the entire mail in one time but they will be interested in reading important points. Break the message with subheadings and highlight crucial elements with bullets or numbers. Also you can give a teaser on the top of the mail so that the customers have a feel of the message. Send people content what they want It is only with segmenting the customers in groups that you will be able to understand what they want to hear from you. Add groups in your sign-up form and ask subscribers to check a group they belong to. It will make it easy for you to send relevant content to the customers and relevant content will keep the customers engaged. For instance take zip codes. A sale offer for people residing in a specific zip code is useless for those residing out of that code. Similarly there could be more segments for bulk mailing. Keep a publishing calendar People receive hundreds of mails every day hence it is quite difficult for a customer to remember every mailer. It is your responsibility to keep your customers reminded about your offers from time to time. Schedule your mails so that your customers can recognize you on seeing your mail. Take time to proofread the mail The final thing you should do before sending the mail is to proofread it at least twice to make sure that there are no typos or unwanted content in it. Also determine visibility and readability of the mail before pressing the clicking the send button on the mail. Conclusion Email marketing can be helpful in expanding your reach and sales but only when you are able to draft a mail that the targeted customers find interesting. Every customer has different needs hence every customer must be treated separately. Read the full article
