Are You Using Email To Your Advantage? Don't Miss TheseTop Marketing Tips

This article was developed to help you launch an internet campaign that will accomplish all of

these goals.

Do not send out rough drafts of your content. Write out what you want to say, and then cut

the word count in half and rewrite to fit within your new limit. This generates messages that

get to the point. Readers want to spend no more than three paragraphs of time reading your

message, and maybe not even that.

When people opt-in to your email marketing list, you need to let them know what to expect up

front. Tell subscribers how often they can expect to hear from you and what types of

communications you will be sending them. If they are expecting the volume of mail you will

be sending, they are less likely to get frustrated and unsubscribe.

When creating text for your email marketing campaign, make sure you use fonts that reflect

the tone of what your email is trying to convey to the customer. This is important in providing

the right emphasis, and it conveys the message clearly to the customer. This will work

wonders in keeping the reader intrigued.

Take timing into consideration as to when your messages are sent. Try and time your

messages for when readers are likely to be reading. For consumers, this is probably

evenings and weekends. For business clientele, weekday mornings are more ideal. Emails

sent in off hours can get buried further down in inboxes than will likely get attention if

someone is deleting a bunch of messages at once. Do not forget about time zone differences

either.

There are zombie email addresses, and people do sell them. This not only wastes your time,

but it keeps your messages from getting to the right targeted customers. Make sure you

know what you are getting into, and make sure you are sending messages to people that

could actually do business with you.

Encourage and remind your subscribers to add your email address to their safe sender list.

Your messages might come through the first few times, but their email client or spam filter

might change its mind after a few more messages. Only by being a manual addition to their

safe sender list can you be sure you will always get through.

With any email marketing campaign, you should utilize some type of tracking or analytic

software. By tracking your campaigns, you can determine what was successful and what

failed. By using a combination of post-click analytics, coupon codes and link tracking, you will

gain information to help you tweak your next email campaign into one that has a higher

success rate.
