- Use your success stories and testimonials to gain trust in the audience.
- The interaction should be done either through social media or if they are subscribed to you, send them newsletters promptly.
- Also, you can run a campaign by running a flow of emails to customers to make them feel they are more special & you are connected to them.
- Try to know which customers are more engaged with you rather than sending thousands of emails to people who don’t even open your mail. (Use tools)
- Make sure you have a clear call to action for the audience to respond.
- Promote free content to attract leads by giving an E-book or a PDF etc.
- Once they are attracted nurture them with quality and timely content.
- Try to separate the audience based on their interests.
- Let us take DP World logistics consumers as an example:
- DP World has multiple traders as customers, and all of them want their products to be shipped is their concern at the end of the day.
- One might have cars to be shipped while the other might have motorcycles and the list goes on.
- Now, if they approach you via email and you reply with the same template of your benefits to all types of traders it would sound a bit off.
- Based on their business niche you should try to explain to them your benefits using segmentation and tags.
- You have a different method of stocking, handling and shipping cars and how to manage them to be shipped on time with safety.
- While for motorcycles it could be a different approach.
- For electronics, more safety is required.
- For things made of glass, you may use more protection when compared to electronics.
Now, for all of these different items if you say you transport them safely without explaining how you do it. The customer gets a bit anxious and gets confused.
So, this is where segmentation can be done by tools like Zapier, Mailchimp or Convertkit are easy, to begin with.
- Also, it’s not easy to reply to thousands of emails at once and email marketing tools help overcome this problem by automation. It’s just like you are available digitally.
Metrics to be measured.
- Check the open rates of your email sequences.
- Open rate will tell you how many subscribers actually took the time to open that message.
- Open rates can also help to assess how well the subject line copy is doing.
- Uninteresting content can lead to higher bounce rates.
- Tracking bounce rates against open rates will give a better idea of the quality.
- Also, bounces occur due to the following:
- Hard bounce: This is a type of email bounce that can’t be delivered to an address for permanent reasons such as a fake email address or a fake domain.
- Soft bounce: This is a type of email bounce that can’t be delivered to an address because of temporary issues such as a full inbox or a large file size.
- Take a look at how many people are clicking on the links you provide in the email.
- The higher the click-through rate, the more enticing your copy is to your readers.
- Analyse which emails are being opened more or less.
- Which emails most of the audience are unsubscribing to?
- Unsubscribing will help you take out the people who aren’t interested in your content, but it also helps to show who they are.
- You might think that you have given them useful resources but even after thousands of attempts, if no one clicks it, JUST REMOVE IT.
- Iterations make you better at content strategy.
- Also, they might click more on the other links which you might not expect.
- Promote the links which they click a lot.
- The sharing rate of your email is also a metric to be considered. This shows how many people forward your emails. When someone forwards your email, it means that you’re reaching a new audience.
- Every email campaign has an objective at the end and conversion rate is one of the most important aspects.
- Your conversion rate is the percentage of people who receive your email and complete the objective of the campaign.
- This metric shows how effective and successful your email campaigns are.
