Blasting #emails to anyone and everyone in hopes of reaching the largest number of people possible won’t do the trick. These days people receive so many #promotional emails constantly.Click to tweet<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Sending something rather generic without a clear purpose in mind won’t stand out and even runs the risk of appearing as spammy. So to avoid that, we’ve compiled a list of the top principles of effective email marketing<\/a> that will help guide you to success.<\/p>\n The number one thing you want your emails to accomplish is for them to be read. Just sending them out and receiving no replies or even reads is throwing money down the drain. That’s why you have to make sure your emails are readable, and there are quite a few tactics you could use to achieve this.<\/p>\n The number one thing is to keep things brief; no one will read a 1,500-word email, it’s just too long, and attention spans are just too short. So, try to be concise and to the point.<\/p>\n The second thing you could do is make sure your text stands out and is nicely broken up. What we mean by this is that you should be creating some sort of contrast between the background and the text or even adding an interesting backdrop that draws attention.<\/p>\n For instance, take a look at this email:<\/p>\n While what’s written in it is quite good, it doesn’t draw you in. It’s just a simple email.<\/p>\n This one, however, by Shopify, is a lot better. It features multiple different colors. It’s interesting and dynamic. Whoever receives this email is bound to read it.<\/p>\n How do you expect anyone to sign up for your service if they are unsure what they’re signing up for? It’s very tempting to speak in general terms in hopes of attracting more people, but this is a mistake – specificities convert, not generalities.<\/p>\n If all your email does is remind people that your company exists, it doesn’t push anything forward. The best thing you could hope for if you take this route is a measly “Oh yeah, that place”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And let’s face it, that’s not what you’re looking to get out of an email marketing campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n To combat this, here’s what you should do. Have a specific subject line<\/a> that makes what you’re offering 100% clear, and then the email itself should clarify the details and have the best pitch possible. What you’re aiming for in the end is something engaging and specific enough to get people to click on your website and inquire further.<\/p>\n We’ve all heard about personalized email marketing campaigns and how they tend to perform way better than general ones, but how does one go about this?<\/p>\n Well, the first step is to market only to the right target audience, aka the people that might be interested in what you have to offer. Say you just sent a random email to a person that works in arts about the latest deals in your e-commerce<\/a> tech store. This is not very likely to succeed. So, find your target audience, and stick with them.<\/p>\n1. Readability<\/h2>\n
