Now, every single e-mail is different based on exactly what point you are trying to get across or what you are trying to sell, however there are a couple of key points you can use to aid in the end user opening your e-mail: -Utilize an e-mail address which uses a real name. -James@salesexamplemail.com looks far better than sales@salesexamplemail.com.
- 7. -Write the e-mail based on hierarchy. E- mails from a company director, CEO, CFO or president are far better than e-mails from a desk clerk for example. In terms of your subject line this will differ based on what you are trying to say. There are a few things you should keep in mind however, which include:
- 8. -Localize your subject. Got an e-mail list from people in New York, US? Include 'New York' in the subject. -Got an e-mail list of people based in London, UK? Include the keyword 'London'. - Create a unique subject line for each new e-mail batch you send out. If your e- mail subject gets repetitive, this will decrease your open rates.
- 9. Avoid salesy words. 'limited offer', 'free' - and 'reminder' are key turn offs commonly found in e-mail subject lines. www.theinternetmarketingbusiness.com
- 10. Time Your E-mails Effectively If you work within a business which offers seasonal products then it makes sense to send out your e-mails when your product will be in the highest demand. Even if you don’t offer seasonal products or services, timing is still very important.
- 11. Avoid sending out e-mails which are way out of time zones. An e-mail received by somebody in the UK at 3 a.m. for example will often be entirely overlooked as compared to being sent during the day. Sending e-mails at lunch time, breakfast time or tea time is good practice to try and reach the highest number of eyes as physically possible.
- 12. Over-all All in all e-mail marketing is an incredibly effective marketing practice and easily manageable form of marketing for any business. With the above two tips, hopefully you will be able to take your e-mail marketing campaign to the next level and reach out to even more potential leads.
