Written by admin. Posted in Blog

Gone are the days when business had to send out flyers to mass markets or have them put on cars in parking lots and hope for the best. Email marketing helps businesses reach their established customers as well as those who would genuinely be interested in their products. This article can help you develop an email marketing campaign that will help you reach your target audience in the shortest time.

An email marketing campaign is one way to quickly grow your business. Therefore, make sure you are prepared with a business strategy to fully deliver what the customers expect and what you tell them they are going to get from you. It is important that the trust is not broken between you and the customer.

Make use of pre-headers in your marketing emails. Certain email clients – the more advanced web-based ones in particular – display a short summary for each email in the inbox. This is the pre-header. It is easy to set up. Clients generate pre-headers from the first line of text in the message. Compose your emails accordingly!

Use text, images and hyperlinks in your email messages, and keep Flash animation on your web page. Many email services now filter out animations in the name of consumer safety, meaning that your subscribers may not even see your carefully-crafted videos.

To get the most out of each email you send, try to focus each message on a single clear, concise message. Your readers should know what you are trying to say within the first few seconds of reading the message. Give them a call to action that is clear, and that they can easily respond to.

Do not use dollar signs in either the subject or the body of your emails, unless you are using just one to denote a specific amount of currency. This will strike many recipients as being spam my behavior, and many spam filters will automatically trash emails that include character strings like “$$$”.

One tip to enhance your email marketing campaign is to send out regular updates to your customer base, even if not much is happening in your business. These regular updates can be short and sweet. They remind your customers that you are staying busy and want to keep in contact with them.

As previously noted, flyers that are posted on cars and sent to everyone on a mailing list were notoriously expensive, time-consuming and mostly ineffective. Email marketing has come along and allows you to send market your business in a much more effective manner at a fraction of the cost and with a greater success rate.
