October 18, 2013 Blogging Guide
Email Marketing has been around since the first days of the Internet. When a proper email strategy is implemented, it is a real boon to any business, as well as the clients. Use this article to find strategies that will help with your email marketing campaign.
Here are few proven tips:
- Be sure that you’re not sending out marketing emails that are unsolicited. Sending an unsolicited email is a mistake; people might start marking them as spam. This hurts your reputation, and if there are too many complaints about your messages, you may get your IP address blocked.
- Know who your audience is. Encourage your subscribers to invite their friends to join your list too. At the end of every email, provide a “subscribe” button and a “share” button so readers can pass along your information to friends. You can use this method to make your list grow organically.
- Experiment with, and evaluate, different email layouts. Make sure that the information that’s very important is at the top, as well as new offers. Try to use different formats to find out which ones will work and which ones won’t. When you have a layout that is very effective, stick with it. This will help build consistency into your email marketing; your subscribers will be familiar with your style and more apt to open your email, as it is something they trust.
- Try using some sort of call to action within your emails. You should explain to the recipient of the emails what it is that needs to be done. If you are including links, ensure that they are obvious, and make sure that you explain how these links can be utilized. You can echo these parts in both the bottom and top part of your message.
- One very obvious, but very important tip pertaining to e-mail marketing is to make sure that all of your e-mail addresses are correct! Remove any broken email addresses from your lists, don’t bother trying to find out what’s wrong with them. It’s a total waste of time!
- On your sign-up page, give your customers the option of providing their first name. This will allow for greater personalization. This gives your email communications a better appearance and will set them apart from all the other bulk emails they receive.
Illustrate to your readers that you appreciate their time in restricting yourself to only sending messages with worthy content they can benefit from. Avoid emailing them flagrant sales pitches in order to avoid insulting their intelligence or losing their confidence in you. Talk about a solution to an issue your audience is encountering, a new product or a promotion in your emails.
A correctly formatted email used for marketing purposes won’t appear like marketing to your customer. If your emails provide customers with valuable information, they will be more likely to read them and continue looking for more. This can benefit your brand in many different ways. The end result is that you attract clients who are happy to spend money on your company. Use this article to improve your email marketing campaign, gain profits, and improve brand recognition for your company.

Hi Shaun
Aweber is definitely great. It worth the price.
Glad you like it Stephan! 🙂
Could you expand on encouraging your subscribers to invite their friends?
I thought about this, but I don’t see how why it would work. I do encourage people to share the website though.
Definitely Jordan. I appreciate your comment! 🙂

Ankit, you got the point. Bombarding with emails every day isn’t smart, you could lose ton of subscribers that way.
That is always great to hear.!
You can never go wrong with e-mail marketing. Just make sure that you’re doing it right.
Yeah, if you make a mistake with an email, you can easily lose ton of subscribers. So only email to people when you have something awesome to share.
