In an era where the internet rules the day, email marketing remains a vital tool for companies looking to effectively engage their audience. Because of its unmatched reach, cost-effectiveness, and ability to customize messages for certain audiences, email marketing has become a vital component of modern advertising tactics. It is impossible to exaggerate the value of email marketing for organizations, from generating leads to keeping customers. I wanted to look into helpful tips and tricks for email marketing to better assess knowledgable information about marketing. I came by an article called "15 Impactful Email Marketing Campaigns for your Small Business" by MyPocketMarketing.com. Here, I found some helpful ideas on email marketing to share with you guys!
Tips for Email Marketing:
1. Use a "Welcome Drip".
A welcome drip is an email that you receive when you first sign up for an email service. This drip service allows for your business to offer a warm welcome to someone who signs up for your business emails. A warm welcome can be a customized message that is automatically sent to your new customer to make them feel welcomed into your business realm. Also being a customer of certain email services, a welcome email also confirms that you properly signed up for a businesses updates. It is nice as a customer to sign up for a companies updates and information and checking your email to confirm that the email setup worked properly and that it confirms you will be receiving updates about the business later on.
2. Offers and Rewards
Email marketing can be an effective way to promote new offers and reward programs to existing customers. The article I read stated that email marketing has the highest rate of return from customers on product purchases. Emails can allow for your business to showcase any new offers or rewards you're offering for customers effectively by sending it directly to the source (the customer). Emailing can work as an effective advertising system to know that your customers are directly receiving updates and information about your products. It can also allow you to offer special deals for the customers who are specifically signed up for your rewards emails and updates. These emails can create another sense of customer relationship.
3. Holidays and Greetings
With an email service you can use it to create better public relations with customers by sending out personalized messages during the holidays to make customers feel supported. Some customers may not receive holiday greetings from many people and so an email service allows for businesses to potentially make their customers day by sending out greetings for the holidays. The holidays can be a lonely time for some and so this can be a chance for business to reach out to customers and make them feel loved for their support they bring to the business all the time.
4. When is it time to email?
As a business trying to reach your customer, you must consider the best times of the day to send emails for them to be the most effective. According to the article, the best time of day for a business to send an email is during morning hours. It is shown that morning times generate a high volume of clicks compared to later in the day. But, the article also says it can vary depending on the type of market you are in for your customers. The sending schedule is also not completely the same everyday. Just because Monday at 10 a.m. works, does not mean it will work at the same time on Tuesday. As a business you can mess around and do test emails to see what days and times work best for you and your company. All businesses are not the same.
5. Send Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to Customers.
Customers may have questions about your business, especially when they first join your email system. Sending a FAQ list can inform your customer on some questions that they may have without sending another email to the business itself. The FAQs list can eliminate a step between a customer joining the email system and then needing to send an email to your business asking questions. The FAQs list acts an information pamphlet that covers frequently asked questions people have to make the introduction process more smoothly for the business itself and a business.
