Tip of the Week 09 - Make your emails more efficient, while also avoiding trouble.



One of the things that email marketers hate the most has to be email addresses that serve no purpose, either because the subscriber is not responsive at all, or because the address itself is invalid.In any case, both these factors are a setback to your marketing effort, rendering it inefficient.

For an email campaign, you may think you have all the essential elements for lead conversion—a big mailing list, an attractive template design, and the most-engaging message content, but after hitting the ‘send’ button, you may not get the expected conversions. Wondering why? Here’s one of the major reasons. Many marketers miss out on sending the email campaign the right way. Did you know that you should not be

                                                          In the last post, we learned about the subject line. Today we'll be learning about the preheader.

                                                          If crafting content for emails, getting creatives done, and running email campaigns is your love, then unsubscribes are the heartbreakers.  You can save your emails from being unsubscribed/trashed by adding a proper subscription-preferences option in your emails (works best at the time of signup). Giving subscribers the option to choose what they want to receive from you and decide how often (frequency of the emails) your emails should hit their inboxes will increase the reach of your campaigns manifolds.
