Email Deliverability Best Practices: Learn Them. Do Them. Profit From Them.

2010-09-10T23:38:35+00:00

You have no choice. You must take email delivery problems seriously. Very seriously. Why? Because every percentage point of improvement in your email deliverability is a potential improvement in your email marketing ROI. You might think there’s no real difference between an 81.5% email delivery rate and an 82% email delivery rate. Not really, you say, that’s such an insignificant number.

Don’t Take Your Email Subscribers for Granted, Delight Them Instead

2010-09-09T14:01:35+00:00

Email marketing best practices alone don’t ensure email marketing success. But sometimes we get so caught up in making sure we learn them and implement them, we forget to think bigger and more creatively. Let’s change that up a little. Here’s an idea: Take some of the focus off of getting new subscribers and put a little more focus on rewarding the subscribers you do have. It’s a common mindset in marketing: Go after the new […]

Sometimes Email Marketing Best Practices Require Ignoring the Media

2010-08-20T11:05:48+00:00

If you saw the headlines this week that email is too slow for the class of 2014, did you have a little panic attack as an email marketer? Or did you take it in stride? I’ll admit when I saw the headlines around the new Beloit College Mindset List and the assertion that these young folks find email too slow, I had a reaction. But it wasn’t panic. It was “not again.” It seems like the […]

Email Marketing Best Practices: Don’t Raise a Red Flag

2010-08-06T11:26:02+00:00

Today I got a shock. An unsubscribe shock. I’ve been getting emails from a major retailer for some time, years, but never acted on them. Finally today I clicked on the Unsubscribe link (instead of just deleting the emails like I have been doing). In that way, this big behemoth company is adhering to email marketing best practices: The unsubscribe link was easy to find, and clicking on it took me straight to a web page […]

Email Marketing Best Practices: Test Everything…Just not all at Once

2010-08-02T10:01:18+00:00

Every time you send out an email, if you’re not testing, you’re losing. There are countless incremental ways to improve the effectiveness—and ROI—of your email marketing. But you’ll only discover all of those little tweaks and tune-ups by testing. Make it a goal to do an A/B test of some kind every single time you send out an email.

2010-07-28T15:53:57+00:00

Testing is a topic that has come up a lot lately at our email marketing vendor offices. We encourage constant testing all the time. Not to say you should test every single factor every single time. But always be testing by choosing something to test every time you do an email. It could be anything from your From name to the color of your call-to-action button. Constant testing falls into the category of email deliverability best practices […]

Best Practices for Email Marketing: Moving Your Readers Through the Five Stages

2010-07-20T11:12:34+00:00

This is what you want to happen: Your email shows up in your recipient’s inbox. They are anticipating hearing from you and are so excited to open your email that they ignore all other emails to open yours first. This is what really happens: You fight your way into the inbox. Then you work your way through the clutter to get noticed. And you struggle still to get your email opened. Did you know your recipients […]
