Hammering Your Brand Into The Minds Of Your Customers Using Email Marketing

By Jennings Ray


No one wants their email box to be cluttered up with advertising, so it's your job as an email marketer to send your reader something they actually want. Informative, interesting and even entertaining emails should be your goal, but how do you achieve that? Continue reading to find some excellent tips from experts in the field.

Be persistent in your attempts to reach customers. You don't have to send emails daily, but keep in mind that you may not capture a customer's attention, or business, until he or she has been exposed to your brand or products several times. Touch base often, but not so frequently that it seems too annoying.

One great way to get people to read your direct email marketing messages and newsletters is to include special offers available only to the recipients. This type of email marketing gives the readers value for participating, but it may also encourage them to refer their friends. Referral programs are helpful to increase your customer base.

Treat each reader like a relationship. Ask in the first email for permission to send more. In the second email, tell them what discounts, products and services they can expect in future emails. In the third email and after, follow through with the content you promised to provide them with.

Provide your customers with useful tips or information in each marketing newsletter. Think of the newsletter as an opportunity to demonstrate your expertise in your field. Your customers will trust you more when they see how much you know and will be more likely to buy products or services from you.

Use a consistent and persistent strategy in your email marketing campaign. While persistence is key, you should also make sure that you're targeting the right customers, or it won't matter much in the long run. Being persistent with the wrong customers only annoys them and wastes more of your time.

Keep the graphics to a minimum in your emails. Quite a few email reading programs available block graphics, making it possible that many of your intended readers can't read the email properly. Additionally, several email programs tend to send graphic-laden emails to a recipient's junk folder.

When you are following up with your site's clients, a great tip is to include a free report on your follow-up email. Include a link on your email that invites your clients to click on it to begin. The ending P.S. could urge them to try out these samples that are provided.

Do not take up permanent residence in your readers inboxes. Remember that they email for a number a reasons, from work to family. You are probably sharing that space with other marketers. Send out messages often enough to stay on their mental radar, but more than once a week is probably going to annoy them and backfire.

Email marketing can be an effective, smart way to promote your business. You have to know what to do. Just apply the tips laid out here so your email marketing plan goes well. Learn as much as you can about email marketing so that you only improve as your business grows.
