6 Tips for Better e-Newsletter Engagement
Thinking about an email marketing campaign? Consider this: for every $1 your business spends on email marketing, the ROI is $42. Think social media gives you more? Not so – email marketing’s conversion rate is 40% better than Facebook and Twitter.*
Establishing good email marketing practices is key to your campaign’s success. Here’s some tips to consider:
- Catchy Subject Line
The subject line is a make-or-break feature to your newsletter. Good ones get opened, dull and long ones don’t. Using words like You, Tips, or Secret help to convey a sense of urgency.
- Call to Action (CTA)
Every email should have a CTA. Be sure to tell readers what you’d like them to do.
CTA’s move readers further along in your sales funnel.
- Don’t Be Salesy
Fact: people don’t like to be sold – offer valuable information instead. Readers appreciate pearls of wisdom in every issue, which also helps gain trust.
- Short + Sweet
Keep your feature article at three paragraphs. Over that will have your readers ‘saving’ your email for another time – which may never come.
- It’s All About Them
It may be your newsletter, but the content is all about the reader. What do they want to know more about? Think like your audience.
- Easy On-the-Eyes
Cluttered and poorly formatted email templates are the fastest way to lose readers.
- Use responsive templates that automatically adjust the screen to mobile, tablet or desktop viewing
- Choose a template that is easy to edit and showcases your brand clearly and professionally.
