You’ve crafted a beautiful email marketing campaign. It’s got compelling written content, maybe a video, exciting news, etc. But you’re devastated when it gains to traction! At Presentation Multimedia, we feel your pain, and we’re here to help. Our team has come up with some great tips to increase your email marketing campaign success rates, and to ensure that all your hard work is not in vain. Check these out:
Craft a compelling headline
Let’s face it – if your headline is boring, it won’t encourage any customer, current or potential, to open your email. There are several ways to compel email opens. Some of the forms we’ve seen the most success with include:
- Exciting news: You don’t actually have to say what the news is in the headline; just signal that exciting news is included in the content of the email
- Indicate a coupon or discount: These have a great success rate, for obvious reasons. People won’t want to pass up the opportunity to receive a discount or coupon for your services.
- Teaser: Maybe you had a contest and you plan to reveal the winner. Or perhaps you are releasing a new product, tool, or service. Whatever the reveal may be, entice readers by leaving the mystery. You can say something like, “And the winner is…” as your headline, and customers will be tempted discover the answer.
Personalize
Most email marketing campaign sites provide this option when crafting a campaign. So long as you feed the proper information, the email will say, “Hi Robert” instead of “Dear Customer”, or something to that effect. This is an easy tool that will greatly increase your open rates because customers trust an email that has a more personalized feel. In fact, average email open rates are over 6% higher than those that are not (Source).
Make it mobile-friendly
With mobile usage rates climbing, ensuring all your email marketing campaigns have a mobile-friendly design is crucial to a good open rate. This means having quick load time, making sure all your content (text, images, video) are optimized for mobile, and having smooth panel transitions. The number of people who favor mobile-friendly email campaigns has risen over 12% in just a year, so it’s essential your emails be accessible to your mobile clients (Source).
