Email marketing can be very beneficial to many businesses, particularly those that are operating online, and here are a few tips to help you make the most of your email campaigns:
• Keep it short – it is unlikely anyone will bother to read an unsolicited email if it is too long, so keep it short and to the point and tell the reader everything they need to know in the first paragraph.
• Minimal images and attachments – emails that contain a lot of images and attachments will most likely be blocked by Spam filters and firewalls, as will also take far to long to load which can put people off.
• Personal touch – if you have the contact’s name then use it in the title, as ‘Dear Reader’ is very impersonal, and people will be much more likely to read the email if it is addressed to them directly.
• Keep it Real – don’t promise more than you can offer in your email marketing campaigns, as this will just make your customers angry and is bad business practice.
