Introduction
Even though you’re probably already using email marketing, there are ways to maximize your results. Email marketing is a cost-effective way to reach potential customers and grow your business. That said, you want to make sure these messages get opened so they can convert into sales—and that’s where improving your subject line comes into play. Here are some tips for increasing open rates:
Make your subject line count.
You've probably heard this before, but it's worth saying again: A good subject line is crucial to your email marketing success. If you don't have a compelling one, recipients might not open the message at all--and if they do choose to click into it, they may not stick around for long.
So what makes for an effective subject line? Here are some tips:
Make sure the subject line is clear and concise--but no longer than 60 characters (including spaces). You want people to be able to see what your content is about right away without having to scroll down or click into another window on their phones or computers. Plus, short emails tend to get higher open rates than longer ones!
Don't use all caps (they're hard on the eyes) or exclamation points ("!!"), which can seem like spammy tactics meant more for sales than genuine engagement with customers' needs/questions/concerns; instead try using words like "newsletter" instead of "newsletter!"
Be clear and concise.
Be clear and concise. Your email should be easy to read, so use bullet points or numbered lists to break up your content into easily-scannable sections. Try not to use more than 5 sentences in your email (one per paragraph), or else it'll be too long and people will lose interest before they get through all of it! If you have lots of information that needs explaining, consider breaking up this info into multiple emails instead.
Be timely.
Email Marketing tools such as MailChimp offers features such as Send Time Optimization which recommends the best time for you to send out your email campaign based on the data collected about your audience’s behaviour.
Offer a freebie.
Offering a freebie as part of an email campaign is a great way to increase your open rates. A freebie can be anything from an ebook or whitepaper, to a video tutorial or webinar registration link.
It's important that the content you provide is relevant for your audience and valuable for them so they feel like signing up for it is worth their time (and yours). Make sure the information in this offer is something that people want--not just filler content! You want to make sure people are actually going to use what you're offering before asking them to sign up for it, so do some research beforehand so you don't waste anyone's time by sending out something irrelevant or unhelpful.
When creating an offer like this one (or any other type), keep these tips in mind:
Give readers multiple ways of accessing what they're looking at by providing different formats such as text documents (.pdf), videos (.mp4), podcasts (.wav) etc., depending on what fits best into their daily routines.;
Try using bright colours on top sections where users may quickly scan through emails without reading everything carefully first;
Make sure there aren't any spelling mistakes anywhere else too since these could distract readers away from getting anything useful out of reading further down into each paragraph.
Target the right audience. The first step to maximizing your email marketing is targeting the right audience. You can use your email list to send the right message to the right person at the right time, in the right format.
Personalize the experience.
Personalization is one of the most effective ways to increase your open rates. It's also incredibly easy to do, as long as you have access to customer data. If you don't have any customer information, then it's time to start collecting!
First off, make sure that all of your emails are personalized by default--no matter what type of email campaign it is or who you're sending it too (e.g., customers vs non-customers). You can personalize an email by using dynamic content based on whether or not the recipient has bought from the company before, their location and other demographic information like age range or gender. This can help ensure that every recipient will see something relevant when opening up their inboxes each day--whether they've opened multiple emails from this sender before or not at all yet.
Keep it simple (but interesting).
The best emails are simple and to the point. They don't try too hard, and they don't use too many words or punctuation. You want your email to be easy for readers to read, so keep it short, sweet, and interesting.
The best way to send an effective email is by keeping things simple: don't try being clever; don't use a lot of fancy words; don't be overly long-winded; don't go into detail about every little thing in your message; don't make it vague.
Increase open rates by focusing on how you write your email subject lines, content, and timing of delivery To get the most out of your email marketing, you need to focus on three things:
How you write your subject lines
The content of the message itself
When and how often you deliver it.
Conclusion So, there you have it--a few simple tips to help you maximize your email marketing. I hope this post was helpful and that you now feel more confident about sending out your next campaign!
