A lot of money that can be made for your WAHM business through email and internet marketing. it is no wonder then that most people are flocking to the internet in search of a successful email internet marketing strategy that will help them to rake in the moolah. Actually, there is no such thing as the best or the most successful strategy. However, there are several tips that can be used to design a successful email internet marketing strategy. These can help you to reap rich rewards so here is a look at them.
The subject line: The subject line should include the name of the recipient, your company's name, brief information about the offer and the time line. For instance, a good subject line should read something like this, ‘Michael, get a 50% discount on XYZ product from ABD Corp until March 31st.
You need to understand that 69% of emails that are discarded without even being opened have a weak subject line. This is the first and most important opportunity to grab your reader's attention so make it good.
The body of the message: Ensure that you message is not too lengthy. If it does go beyond a few paragraphs, you should segment it based on the preferences or the interests of your readers. Make sure that the message is personalized and not only includes the name of the recipient but is also geared to meet his requirements.
Who should receive the message: Only send the messages to people who have given you the permission to do so and to those who have visited your website within the previous year and have furnished their emails ids. This way, you can ensure that your list is fresh and active.
How to get email addresses from visitors: If you intend to give nothing, you are going to get nothing. This adage also holds true in case of an email internet marketing strategy. Offer something of value such as an e-book or a report in return for his/her email id. Collect email ids at several points of contact such as the point of purchase, from the call center and during sales calls.
Test the email delivery softwares: Ensure that you test your messages on a plethora of software such as HotMail, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and others so that you can be sure that your readers will receive your message regardless of the email service that they use. It is also essential to remember that many readers will not be able to view images, so you should never send a graphics only message.
A good time to send the email: According to marketing research, Tuesday is the best day to send out email because it has the highest per day open rate while Thursday is the busiest. Even though you can send out an email on Friday morning, do not bombard people with emails over the weekend
Don't overwork your list: How would you like to receive promotional emails a few times every day? Boring and annoying, right? Your customers will echo your sentiments so ensure that you do not send more than 3 promotional messages per week.
Show them your appreciation: If you just send out emails with promotional information, you will exhaust the patience and interest of your readers very fast. Always make sure that you show them how much you appreciate the privilege that they have given you by offering a free e-book or a helpful tool. Do this at least once or twice a week and you will be able to ensure reader loyalty.
