Starting your email marketing campaign takes effort. It is more than
just writing emails and sending them. You need to determine what
type of sales content you should put in each email. You also need to
decide when you will send out emails.
The first rule of ethical Email campaigns:
Always make sure your subscribers want your information. Do not SPAM
to people who have not contacted you with a request for more info.
This also means, when someone doesn’t want to continue receiving
your information you must not send it any longer.
The second rule is to mix up sending schedule:
You want to email your customer list with perfect timing to bring in
the most profits. You may think you want to send out emails once a
week or month, and while this may mimic the newsletters and
magazines received by normal mail, it is not the best way to go
about your campaign. Instead, you should have an irregular email
schedule. For example, let's say that customers are used to
receiving an email on the 14th of each month. You decide you want to
send another email this particular month and send it on the 26th.
Many customers will annoyed by this email because they become used
to the set schedule. Basically, you don’t want to train your list
into expecting a set schedule of emails. Send emails out when you
want to, you can send a second email a few hours after the first.
This will train customers to not have a set expectation for your
email schedule. This allows you flexibility in your timeliness as
well. This irregular method will help with name brand recognition.
Customers will actually remember you better if you spice it up. One
way to that is through irregular timing. Don’t fall into the trap of
sending out to many email at once, not only does this border on
spam, but you may see a decrease in memberships.
Other key marketing tactics for newsletter marketing:
1. Get an auto responder service. This will send email newsletters
to your mailing list on a set basis without any human intervention.
Remember to keep changing the schedule the auto responder is set at
to randomize mailing times.
3. Track what emails are opened, which format preformed the best,
etc. The more scientific you can get about your campaigns, the
better. When you can recreate the success of one campaign in another
email newsletter campaign you know you are on the right track.
4. Don’t just rely on getting emails from your opt-in form. Get them
at events you go to, business galleries, friends, family, etc.
