Your customers will do the same. Make sure the \u2018from\u2019 field just shows your company name, not your lengthy email address. \u00a0And something like Nancy327@gmail.com will probably get deleted straight away. If nothing else, your company name will sit in their inboxes providing subtle advertising for days.<\/p>\n<h2>Create a compelling subject line<\/h2>\n<p>If your email has survived the \u2018from\u2019 test, the next hurdle is \u2018what\u2019s this about?\u2019 or more likely \u2018what\u2019s in this for me?\u2019. You\u2019ve got a second or maybe two here to stop your audience hitting delete. If you don\u2019t invest time in getting this right, all the remaining effort you put into your beautiful email campaign will go to waste. It could even take the perceived relevance of your emails down a notch or two, making success more difficult next time.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips for effective email subject lines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be real, human and a little unconventional &#8211; nobody likes uptight and boring<\/li>\n<li>Say what the email is about and the benefit it offers readers<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t be afraid to use an emoji if you think it would support your message<\/li>\n<li>Keep it brief &#8211; some say about 40 characters max works well<\/li>\n<li>Consider making the subject a question to better engage your readers<\/li>\n<li>If you can, automatically insert each person\u2019s first name, but only if it feels genuine and you\u2019re sure you can get them right<\/li>\n<li>Only capitalise the first letter to keep the subject more readable and informal, and to avoid spam filters that pick up on subjects all in caps<\/li>\n<li>Avoid spam filtered words like free, % off, promo, $$$, limited time and apply now<\/li>\n<li>Check it fits the allowed space on mobile phones, particularly iPhones<\/li>\n<li>Pre-test two different subject lines to see which one gets the most opens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, if you were promoting a birthday sale, instead of saying \u2018We\u2019ve been serving Wellington customers for 25 years now\u2019 try something like \u2018Mary, it\u2019s our birthday \u2013 want a gift?\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Perfect the preview text<\/h2>\n<p>So they\u2019re still curious, but not yet convinced. The preview text is your final opportunity to earn an open. Also known as the pre-header text, it shows under your subject before the email is opened. Again, you have a very limited number of characters for your message. It\u2019s make or break time.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the points mentioned above for the subject line also apply to the preview text, but here are some extra tips to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you add new information &#8211; don\u2019t repeat anything from the subject line<\/li>\n<li>If personalisation seemed a bit try-hard or inappropriate in the subject, it may work well in the preview text<\/li>\n<li>Keep it to something like 40-50 characters<\/li>\n<li>Including a call to action usually helps<\/li>\n<li>Remember, this message may also appear at the top of your email campaign when it\u2019s opened, although some tools will let you hide it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Continuing the example above, if your subject was \u2018It\u2019s our birthday \u2013 want a gift?\u2019 your preview text might be something like \u2018Hi Mary, take a sneaky peek at our upcoming sale.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid the spam folder<\/h2>\n<p>If your email is swept from view by a spam filter, it\u2019s a complete waste of time and effort. It could also turn into a lingering problem if you become a \u2018blacklisted\u2019 sender. So here are some tips for making sure your email campaigns make it safely to your audience\u2019s inboxes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As mentioned above, avoid spammy words in the subject and preview lines and in your message<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t buy email lists &#8211; you\u2019ll get flagged for sending unsolicited emails or using dead addresses<\/li>\n<li>Send regular emails, so you look more familiar to spam filters<\/li>\n<li>Ensure any links in your messages are working and going to the right place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Design for mobile users<\/h2>\n<p>Most people have a smartphone with access to email and for some audiences it may be the only way they receive them. It\u2019s essential to optimise your email campaign for mobile phones and tablets. If you don\u2019t, not only will your messages get ignored, it can feel like you\u2019re unprofessional or just don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips to help ensure your campaigns work well on a mobile phone:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose an email marketing tool that automatically recognises each recipient\u2019s device and adjusts the layout of your message to suit \u2013 it\u2019s known as responsive design<\/li>\n<li>Keep plenty of white space by separating your content into small scannable paragraphs or chunks<\/li>\n<li>Replace text links with good-sized buttons<\/li>\n<li>Limit the number and size of images, so users don\u2019t have to constantly scroll through them to see your messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Provide a second opt-in<\/h2>\n<p>Having collected what appears to be a customer\u2019s email address and gained their permission to use it for email marketing, it can feel risky to ask once again. You might think you\u2019re simply putting barriers in place and annoying customers by asking them to confirm what they\u2019ve just provided.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is the initial subscription might be malicious. A hacker or competitor could be filling up your email list with countless unsolicited addresses, to create yet more spam or undermine your reputation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s essential to ensure your list is \u2018clean\u2019. If you make the second opt-in easy, your customers will appreciate you taking the time to check and protect their contact information. You\u2019ve probably received some good ones in the past. A brief well-written message that\u2019s aligned with your brand and a single button to click is likely to be well received. Double opt-in messages can be automated by many email marketing tools. That way it\u2019s immediate and no-one makes it to your list without being verified.<\/p>\n<h2>Ask what content your customers prefer<\/h2>\n<p>When customers seldom find your email campaigns and newsletters relevant or useful, they simply unsubscribe. Few, if any, will contact you to suggest a change. Your emails are just a nuisance, so they\u2019ll cancel you. If you\u2019re not careful that disconnection might extend beyond your communications to your business in general.<\/p>\n<p>Making it easy for customers to let you know their preferences and change them when they wish puts them in control and clearly demonstrates your genuine desire to understand their needs. It also provides an alternative to clicking unsubscribe.<\/p>\n<p>Some email marketing tools include what is known as an \u2018email preference centre\u2019. For you, it can be as simple as adding an \u2018update profile\u2019 link to your email campaigns. You could include it in a simple sentence like \u2018To change your content preferences, simply update your profile\u2019. Even if your customers don\u2019t use it, the link provides a regular and subtle reminder that you care.<\/p>\n<p>If customers agree, you can sometimes track the articles or introductions they click on in your newsletter. That can help you to learn and record more about their content preferences.<\/p>\n<h2>Research your best send frequency<\/h2>\n<p>Another way to keep your customers happy is to carefully select the spacing between email campaigns, newsletters or updates. Send them too often and you\u2019re a nuisance, so they\u2019ll unsubscribe. Leave too long between sends and their spam filter might not see you as a trusted regular. You\u2019ll also have less chance of staying in customers\u2019 minds. Some marketing experts say a weekly or fortnightly send can be ideal. It often depends on the nature of your business.<\/p>\n<p>A self-managed preference centre, as mentioned above, can include a choice of frequencies. That might allow you to send short, frequent emails to some customers and collate those into longer less frequent campaigns for others.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to A\/B test two different frequencies with half of your email list in each. Tracking which get the most opens and click-throughs will help you settle on the most popular or effective option.<\/p>\n<h2>Send customised versions<\/h2>\n<p>Another way to improve relevance for customers, and therefore approval and opening rates, is to send different versions to different people. When promoting a sale you could highlight specials related to their previous purchases. Images of your store or premises could match the one nearest to each location. For something like a newsletter you can write a series of stories across a range of topics, then send each person a customised selection.<\/p>\n<p>Each customer\u2019s version could only contain topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They\u2019ve indicated they\u2019d be interested in hearing about<\/li>\n<li>That are related to products or services they previously bought from you<\/li>\n<li>Are similar to suggested new topics in previous editions, which they clicked on to \u2018see more\u2019, rate or \u2018like\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>It begins by taking the first step<\/h2>\n<p>Any improvements you can make will help and the sooner you make them the better. But you don\u2019t have to do everything at once. In fact, that can sometimes lead to getting nothing done. Like any journey, it starts with the first step. So pick the quicker and easier improvements, then get started.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re too busy or lack the confidence to go it alone, there are plenty of email marketing specialists who could help you plan ahead, get things underway and avoid common mistakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guide is designed to help you develop an
