1. Personalization is king
Gone are the days when you send the same email to
thousands of email addresses and expect it to be opened. Subscribers today want
a personalized experience. Emails with personalized subjects are reportedly 26%
more likely to be opened. It's not just about the subject lines, personal
acknowledgments in the main copy can also work well and are easy to do.
Once you're a little more familiar with the basics,
you might even start thinking about customizing the offer, images, and
call-to-action based on the customer data you have.
For example, if you're talking to a young mother
with a daughter, why not customize the image to reflect that or use past sales
data to offer related products?
You can also segment your list into smaller audience
lists and tailor your emails for each audience segment. Email marketing
software allows you to upload multiple contact lists (as Excel files) so you
can send separate emails to each list. This will also help you identify which
segment of your audience is most receptive/interested.
2. Show your loyal subscribers some love
It's been a tough time for a number of brands in
recent months, with many seeing a drop in their subscriber numbers. Remember:
your most loyal subscribers are the ones who have stuck by you, continue to
engage with your emails and have bought, so why not show them some love?
Let your most loyal subscribers know that their
repeat habit hasn't gone unnoticed and that you appreciate them!
You could celebrate their loyalty by offering them
an added incentive that allows them to treat themselves or buy something for
each other.
3. Get your email in the inbox
Both IP warmup and domain warmup need to start
early.
As sending volume increases in frequency and volume,
sudden spikes can cause email providers (such as Gmail or Yahoo) to throttle
email delivery to your subscribers' inboxes.
Clean your lists. If you plan to start emailing
inactive subscribers (contacts you haven't communicated with for 9-13 months),
consider investing in a list-cleaning service.
Alternatively, consider a recovery or revival series
for this segment. Include a specific call to action, a creative, and an offer.
4. Facing the mind, tip of the tongue
Always keep the customer in mind, strive to give
them the best experience with your choice of content. Use a test and learn
approach and set clear KPIs and work towards those goals. Finally, make sure
you respect your customer data, be clear with the consumer about how you will
market to them, and don't deliberately make it difficult to unsubscribe. If
your content is relevant, they will be delighted to receive your emails.

5. Measurable goals
Do you know why you are sending the email and what
you are trying to accomplish?
Make sure you understand this goal and how you will
advance both your business needs and client goals once activated. Not only
this, but make sure your goals are easily measurable with a success metric.
6. Make sure it's mobile friendly
Lastly, and especially if you are targeting
Millennials or Gen Z, who only use mobile devices, your emails must be
mobile-friendly. Most email marketing platforms have now integrated with tools
which offer email previews across all popular email clients, apps, and devices.
This allows you to make sure your HTML emails look great in any format or on
any device.
7. The importance of the matter
Even though the subject line is a small part of your
email, it's one of the first impressions customers will have of your brand.
Therefore, it's imperative to craft a compelling enough subject line to get
people to click.
For example, creating a sense of urgency and
scarcity in an email subject line can entice people to take action, especially
when an offer or sale is about to end.
Personalization is also a great way to get your
audience to open your email. You can really pique the customer's interest by
simply including their name or their favourite products in the subject line.
Audiences want to feel unique and special, and tailoring your subject line can
help with that.
