Use of email to promote goods and/or services. But the use of email to establish relationships with Prospective customers and/or customers is a stronger definition of email marketing. Email Marketing is an Internet marketing segment that includes online marketing through websites, social media, blogs, etc. It’s basically the same as direct mail, except instead of sending mail.

7 Keys to get successful E-mail Marketing

1. Build a Targeted Email List

The most effective email marketing campaigns begin with an email list of skilled leaders interested in what you have to give. Converting your website visitors into subscribers is the best way to construct a targeted email list. But have you known that 80% of your website visitors will leave your site for good on average without signing up for your newsletter? For this reason, we suggest using an exit-intent popup to transform those tourists who are abandoned into subscribers and clients. Exit-intent popup detects user conduct at the exact time they are about to leave your site forever to prompt them with a targeted campaign. This intelligent technology can sky.

2. Strong content

Like all marketing, the message is everything. Make your content appealing and inviting (both text and pictures), use lots of white space and do not harm a little humor. The more personal conversation an email feels like with a friend, the better it performs. Personalization does not end with the name of the person being included. Make the email look like it was intended for each reader in particular. Do not waste time with nonsense for your readers: say what you need and provide connections to more data

3. Timing

By sending too many emails you don’t want to overload your readers, but use your email marketing to create allegiance and commitment to your target audience. It’s a narrow act of balancing. And, to this issue, there is no one-size-fits-all response. A nice frequency gage is derived from analytics. If you’re open, rates fall or you begin to get complaints or a lot of folks unsubscribe, you’re likely going to email too often. If you don’t get people to unsubscribe or complain, you might be able to send more frequent messages. If you have something worth saying to your audience, the key is to send emails.

4. Marketing Automation

Marketing often has an adverse knee-jerk reaction because it sounds like you’re treating your customers like machines that are all treated the same way. Yet, really, it’s the other way around. If you choose SalesForce or HubSpot or any other marketing automation tool, successful email marketing requires that you deliver the appropriate material to the right individuals at the right time.

5. Analytics in Digital marketing

Digital marketing wonders provide a wealth of metrics to guide any marketing choice you make. Here are some metrics you should watch subscriber information such as fresh subscribers and unsubscribe email form performance–I do this by setting objectives in Google Analytics, but AWeber also demonstrates to me how many times my form has been displayed and how many subscribers have been produced. I do A / B testing periodically to determine the optimal shape, positioning, etc. Campaign performance–how many opens, how many clicks, and, if you’ve installed tracking codes, goal completion based on each campaign.

6. Mobile-friendliness

A key to successful email marketing is to create your content mobile-friendly. According to Buffer, on a portable phone, 47% of messages are opened. Here are their tips to make your content simpler for mobile users: Turn your email into a one-column template for simple mobile fixing. Bump up the font size to make smartphones more readable. At least 44 pixels wide by 44 pixels tall follow the iOS button guideline. Make it clear and simple to tap the call-to-action. It’s preferable to fold above. Take ergonomics into account. Many users use their thumb to tap and scroll, so maintain significant adjustable aspects in the center of the screen.

7. Customer Focus

Even in the present setting where we each seem to receive 50 messages a day from businesses selling their services, email still can operate. Here are some tips as to how to make this successful as well as some metrics as evidence points:

* The email should be easy and concise:

Too often we want to try and have the email sell the product for us, by including a lot of value propositions and verbiage. This is done to attempt to increase the value of the prospect that “opens” the email, but in fact, this will only serve to lower your response rate. Open with a compelling statement (or Hard Offer), followed up by 2-3 bullet points, then that action button at the bottom.

* The messaging must be compelling:

Do not utilize a generic message or any industry information, but be direct and bold with your statement. Let the prospect know within seconds why they should read on and eventually click the action button on the bottom. This usually requires some prior analytics or understanding of your target audience.

* The CTA must be specific:

The entire purpose of the email is to get as many prospects to click that Action Button as you can.

Be sure and use verbiage that explains exactly WHAT they will receive once they click, Do not be ambiguous and make sure you are using a compelling tactic (Demo / Free Trial / Free Study),

“White Papers” are NOT very compelling.

* The landing page should be informative:

This is where you can add a further explanation of your services and add assets that might be interesting to the prospect. People are prepared to spend more time on a Landing Page so this is your chance to give them the “WOW Factor”.

* You need to follow up within 24 hours:

Most “experts” will say that the value degrades most significantly after 48 hours of the response, but I feel that immediate contact is necessary to achieve optimal results. You need to create a process that allows for a response to all prospects that opened or clicked through the email within hours, as well as technology that showcases their activity on your landing page so you can direct the follow-up call to their specific interest.
