Does Email Marketing Still Work?

By Joseph Stan


Email is still one of those things everyone keeps saying that you need to do, in fact many say that the money is in the list. But there is a right way to do email marketing and there is a wrong way. In this article I plan to give you a few pointers that are going to teach you how to get the most out of your email marketing efforts. One of the major things you can do so that people can recognize your brand is using email templates. Using your logo and colors in your emails will most likely improve your open rates by 20%.

It's important that are certain you are sending correspondence only to those eager to receive it. When you do a mass mailing to random recipients, they are often received in a spam filter. They won't know who you are, and then they will think about whether they care at all about the actual content or your email. They're likely to delete your email, wasting everyone's time, so mass spamming is not the way to get customers.

When it comes to actually writing a promotional email is important that your subject lines are short and to the point. Don't try to create misleading subject lines because you might get better open rates but your click-through rate which is the percentage of people clicking on a link inside your email is going to be awful.

But perhaps one of the worst mistakes you need to avoid is adding people to your list without their permission. Make sure that the leads you get into your subscriber base are because they opted in. If there's something you don't want is having to reply to a bunch of angry subscribers who didn't ask to receive anything from you.

By now you should have a few ideas on what you can do and what you can't do when it comes to email marketing. Hopefully these tips help you get better results, remember the more people you get on your list the more potential sales you have down the road. Apply these tips and get to work.
