How To Be A Leader With Email Marketing

By Stephany Bihm


Marketing your business takes determination, inspiration and knowledge. Step one to creating an effective email marketing campaign will be gathering information, and this article is a great place to start. Read on for the best tips and tricks which industry leaders are currently using effectively in their own campaigns, leading to great success.

Do not use dollar signs in either the subject or the body of your emails, unless you are using just one to denote a specific amount of currency. This will strike many recipients as being spam my behavior, and many spam filters will automatically trash emails that include character strings like "$$$."

If you use images in your email newsletters, put text to the right of the images. Research shows that customers are far more likely to click on a link or button that is placed to the left of an image than one that is placed anywhere else on the page.

The more options you give your customers, the more effective your email marketing will be. Let your subscribers decide on the the number of messages they receive, how often they get them and what information they want to disclose. The more control they have over the process, the more comfortable they will be.

When emailing clients, try following up with a free warranty on your products or services. You could insert an order on the email that tells them to get this warranty immediately. The ending P.S. could tell them to act now and not to miss this incredible opportunity to try out something they may love. Use a double opt-in procedure that will ensure that your subscribers really desire your emails. While it may seem cumbersome, it solidifies their interest in your emails, and will prevent any issues with spam issues and complaints.

Do not restrict yourself just to email marketing. As you identify your core clientele that trusts you, see if you can get phone numbers and physical addresses. Build on your relationships by expanding your communications with your loyal core base by contacting them through these mediums as well as email.

Maximize the results of your email marketing by encouraging your readers to respond to every email. Always read and reply to these emails immediately. Building a personal relationship with each of your readers is the best way to convert them into loyal customers. This is also a good way to get more specific feedback on the success of your efforts.

Let your readers choose the layout of your content. Any messages with images, graphics and JavaScript is likely to get eaten by software filters and never seen by human eyes. Send out basic text or rich text format including a link to your website, and the option of an HTML version for those that want it.

Now that you know what the experts are doing to create email marketing campaigns which are helping them to reach their goals, you're ready to engage in your own projects for your online presence. Whether you want to boost your social media accounts or your storefront, all dreams will be achievable now that you know what you're doing!
