Is Email Marketing Still Effective?

By Joseph Stan


It is essential to have a clear grasp of how to correctly do email marketing. Your emails must reach your intended target and actually be read to be effective. Keep reading if you want to get the most useful tips around. My first tip is to always try to use your own email template, use your colors and logo in your emails. Customers already know your designs, logo and colors and they associate you with these details. So when they see these colors and designs in their emails, they're more likely to not delete any mail you send to them.

One of the worst things you can do is trying to buy email lists, the best contacts are the ones you have gathered yourself. Reason is you know those contacts are targeted to your niche and what you are offering. Buying bulk email lists will only waste your time and your emails will most likely go straight into the spam folder of the recipient. Concentrate only on gathering your own list and build a relationship through emails with that list.

When it comes to actually writing a promotional email is important that your subject lines are short and to the point. Don't try to create misleading subject lines because you might get better open rates but your click-through rate which is the percentage of people clicking on a link inside your email is going to be awful.

Adding someone to your mailing list, without their permission, is downright wrong. If you send your email to people that didn't agree to receive it, you can make them a little irritated. That can tarnish your image. If your email provider receives numerous complaints, they may decide to drop you as a client.

By now you should have a few ideas on what you can do and what you can't do when it comes to email marketing. Hopefully these tips help you get better results, remember the more people you get on your list the more potential sales you have down the road. Apply these tips and get to work.
