Marketing To Your Customers Through Email: A Guide

By Jennings Ray


How long has it been since you opened your email? If you're a typical person, you download new email at least two times per day. For business owners, sending email is among the most reliable methods for contacting potential customers. Here are some tips on how to effectively use email marketing to your advantage.

Minimize traditional email marketing activities during the holidays. Customers are preoccupied with family and friends, and are less likely to be paying attention to business email. Your odds of ending up in the spam box are considerably higher, which could have longer term implications for your bottom line. The major exception to this would be a business directly related to the holiday activities. Otherwise, give yourself a break and enjoy some downtime yourself. Business will be back on track in a day or two.

Insert a link to your subscription form into your marketing newsletters. That way, if your customers forward marketing emails to their friends, their friends can easily subscribe to your list too. Using this strategy makes it easy for you to build a large list of potential customers who have agreed to receive your marketing emails.

Focus on a single message per email you send out. Don't try to cram a whole bunch of topics into a single email.Too much information can lead to the recipient not reading over everything carefully and possibly just tossing the message. Have an informative subject line and the gist of your topic in the email to get them to read it.

Try out more than one email format. New offers and the most crucial information should always be at the top. You should however experiment with various formats in order to identify which format elicits the most responses. Once you know which ones will work and which ones won't, keep doing the successful ones! When you do this all of your customers know where they need to look for when searching for information they are interested in reading.

Try following up an email to your customers with a notice that tells them not to procrastinate. Insert a suggestion that tells them to purchase now onto the reply. The ending could tell them not to miss this incredible opportunity by waiting. Instead, they should act now to reap the full benefits.

Use your email marketing to get your customers more involved with other promotion portals. For example, always give readers several ways to learn more about what every email is discussing. End every email with your contact information and web address, encourage them to share special promotions through Facebook "Like" buttons or direct them to a video that shows them how best to use a new product.

To avoid complications resulting from being identified as a spammer, notify your ISP of your email marketing intentions in advance. If any unhappy reader ever reports you, this will give your ISP the head's up that your marketing efforts are legitimate. Your ISP may also be able to suggest an upgraded account that eases your email marketing operations.

In order to keep the lines of communication open with your customers and clients, email marketing makes a lot of sense. Use the ideas in this piece as part of your email marketing initiative, and you are sure to get tremendous results in short order. It is easy to promote the company through email and reaching out to customers.
