Key Points on Email Marketing Best Practices
1. The subject line is a magic spell that should inspire the recipient to open the email. Consider using sentence case, brackets, numbers, and personalization to create curiosity.
2. Develop a repository for content ideas, including common problems faced by your audience, questions from clients, industry trends, and personal experiences. Keep a Google Doc or other document to jot down ideas as they come up.
3. Be clear about the purpose of each email. Whether it's providing value, starting a conversation, or promoting an offer, knowing the goal will help you craft effective emails.
4. Leverage approaches like the "nine-word email" or personalized follow-ups to initiate conversations and build relationships with leads or past clients. Conversations can lead to conversions, so it's worth dedicating time to engaging with potential customers.
Use Engaging Subject Lines to Increase Open Rates
Craft subject lines that create curiosity and inspire recipients to open emails. Play with capitalization, use sentence case, brackets, and numbers, and personalize when appropriate. Subject lines should align with the content of the email and be congruent with the value offered inside. Experiment with different techniques to maximize open rates.
Generate Content Ideas and Develop a Consistent Schedule
Maintain a repository of content ideas, including problems faced by your audience, questions from clients, industry trends, and personal experiences. Identify the most common issues your avatar encounters and address them through your content. Consider using tools like Chat GPT for brainstorming topic ideas, and leverage your own learning and client interactions for inspiration.
Develop a consistent schedule for creating content to stay ahead and avoid last-minute pressure. Experiment with different types of content, such as educational, entertaining, or inspirational, depending on your brand and audience. Commit to delivering value while incorporating calls to action in your emails to encourage engagement.
Purposeful and Action-Oriented Emails
Clearly define the purpose of each email, whether it's to initiate a conversation, provide valuable information, encourage clicking a link, or promote a specific offer. Tailor the content and structure of your emails to achieve the desired outcome. Craft compelling PS sections with clear calls to action to drive engagement and conversions. Remember that conversations often lead to conversions, so starting dialogue and building relationships through emails can be a valuable strategy.
