since the year 2009, various researches are continuing to prove the benefits of e-mail marketing for business: With the time, people are getting more educated about the meaning of email marketing.
various online companies like GetResponse and Awaber have started providing email marketing services at low costs,with high conversion rates and all detailed tracking features are available.
With this evolution, e-mail marketing is becoming much more meaningful than just a tool for spammers.
There started a trend of permission based emails and real and serious email marketers have adopted it and rewarded with delicious fruits.
Research reports clearly significance that effective email marketing campaign can produce twelve times the lead generation and 22 times the profits
Crafting an effective business email is both an art and a science. Here i have stated a list of factors, potential problems and effective solutions which leads to the effective email marketing strategy
Effective Email Marketing strategy
1. Spammers are everywhere, be aware!
The average email account holder gets more than 400 emails a week, 72% of which are spam.
No wonder there's such hostility towards the industry. But spam filters, bulk folders and "report spam" features are helping consumers become more at ease about the perils of spam.
in old times of 2003 the spam was a major problem, but in coming years, they find out the solution almost with the intelligent spam filters and more.
so, as a serious email marketer, its all your business dependent on emails. You should always advise your subscribers to add your email to their contact list.
secondly, and most important, thing to observe at the time of taking service, is to ensure that your email marketing service provider has a good reputation with internet service providers.
In here my best advise to choose GMass as your email marketing service. it simply gets fitted into your Gmail account mail service.
see what GMass can do
1. Send mail merge in Gmail with Google Sheets
2. Send cold emails with sequences that maximize responses
3. Personalize Emails
4. Schedule emails in Gmail
5. Email tracking reports - Track opens, clicks, replies
6. Validate your list with our built-in verifier to maximize deliver-ability
yes, of course you can make automation only up to certain extent with GMass, and can not use like you can use the auto-responder, but otherwise i personally give 9 out of 10 to GMass. and advise to go with it for your email campaigns.
This will ensure that your email marketing campaigns go into your subscribers' inboxes, not their junk mail folders.
When choosing an email marketing software, make sure the company has strict anti-spam policies and complies with the guidelines of Can-Spam.( which GMass has already built in)
2. Images and formatting: Why do my emails look broken?
Broken email campaigns are an increasing concern among email marketers, especially since several companies and web-based email providers now block graphics as a measure to combat spam.
As the virus can be embedded in to an image, the spam filters become active to block that email unless otherwise coming from very secured server.
Some masters will advise to correct your reputation, and other things, those are crucial and critical, but still do not guarantee 100% of inbox delivery.
So, as per my simple advise, avoid images as far as possible in to your email campaigns. I have seen many highly successful email campaigns without any image in their emails.
3. Personalization and relevant content: In a business e-mail, one size does not fit all.
This goes very straight forward to make your email campaign highly successful, that you need to feed the right thing to the right person. if you feed a college boy with anti-aging cream, your effort is going to be useless.
best practice is, to get ( collect ) the email through the opt-in page of specific product to be sold, and than target those with your email campaigns.
so that, one thing is ensured, and first step you won already is , at-least they have interest in the product your are reminding them time to time with your email marketing campaigns.
one more point to be taken care is to make sure your company name is clearly stated there while you send the emails.
Another major factor is the "subject" line. Users Site discount offers and interesting news as the most compelling subject lines, followed by new product announcements and free shipping offers.
4. What about Click-through and conversion ? How the money will come?
After receiving your email what do you think your future customer is going to read it ?
Is he going to click on the link you provided?
If he clicks the link and reach to the place where you wanted him to go to have a look at your product, will he buy your product?
All this questions are not certain.
how ever you calculate and make models or whatever, but this things are not certain as per my experience. yes, but of course you can make it near to success first for clicking your link.
In your email writing art, if you are expert, and clever enough, you can mostly make him to click on your link , as per example, if you use some super click bait.
Means, if you provide him some discount coupon or something, the chances are highest, he will click and go there.
some cases, he will click the link but will not make a purchase immediately, but will purchase later. there comes your affiliate link's cookie period.
amazon gives only 2 days cookie period which is very short, so in my opinion , the wise thing is , you should not prefer to market amazon products but mostly choose products from clickbank or digistore24 or rakuten products those have longer cookie period.
Third advise in this regard is, keep your email cleverly written and at the same time don't make him to feel obvious, that you are sending emails to him just to sell something. try to be informative and tel him to get more information from your suggested link!
Those ways will increase your CTR and money will come!
5.Track your emails and compare your campaigns its very important!
While you do email marketing, you are blind until you have a powerful CRM like Awaber or GetResponse ,that gives you full email tracking facility. the very moment your email is opened, and read, your link is clicked, and purchase is made, all the things you can track in real time!
This makes you much more in benefit. as you can have total control and alert on your email marketing campaigns. you can find out where are your real customers, and which kind of emails makes you sell.
Do not beat in the bush while you decide to start email marketing. keep count of the things that i said above and there are still some things left to be considered for a very effective email marketing strategy.
i will be keep you posted about many things more to be precise and accurate sending the emails and to choose proper CRM like Awaber or GetResponse.
