email
marketing: an introduction |
Email has become a critical part of any firm's communications and
marketing plan. It can help retain customers, keep members informed,
increase sales, fill seats, raise brand visibility and help you
grow your business. Email is faster and more affordable than traditional
print mail, and, by some measures, it offers the best return on
investment of any marketing medium*. It's possible email might even
wax your car or take the dog for a walk. It wouldn't surprise us.
But to work, email has to be done well. Content needs to be clear
and compelling. Graphics need to be visually appealing. Campaigns
need to be personalized and relevant. Delivery needs to be timely
and accurate. And results need to be thoroughly tracked and applied
to future mailings.
And that's where we come in. With our help, you'll be able to:
Manage your audience lists...
You can easily organize your recipients into groups, or use our
advanced search-and-segment feature to find (and send to) people
based on their interests, their geography, their past response and
more. Your customizable signup screens let new people sign up from
any spot on your website, and your customizable database lets you
collect and store as much information as you like.
Utilize industry best practices...
Whether it's following the rules of permission marketing, handling
opt-out requests quickly, interpreting bounces or making sure you're
sending a well constructed email every time, our service can help
make sure you're on board with the latest industry trends and best
practices that will increase your delivery rates and improve your
results.
Create and send stylish email campaigns...
Create stylish email campaigns using our intuitive click-and-build
screens, or upload your finished html campaigns. Either way, we'll
help you prepare and preview your campaigns, proof them for problematic
content, and send quickly and accurately every time. And your past
campaigns are stored for easy access and linking later.
Deliver with success every time...
Our world-class delivery network ensures high delivery rates through
our personalized sendoff, ISP relationships, and delivery policies
that can be fine-tuned down to the individual mailing if necessary.
Our engine handles every aspect of delivery for you, and our industry
know-how helps ensure the highest delivery rates possible, every
time.
Track your results in real time...
You'll see who opened your campaign, clicked on every link, forwarded
your campaign to friends or signed up to get your future emails.
You'll find out who bounced (definitely didn't get your email) and
be able to follow up with them. This is just part of our real-time
response tracking that lets you know just about everything that
happens to your campaign, as it happens. And because we store your
results over time, you'll be able to learn from past efforts to
make your future emails enjoy even greater success.

email
marketing: 10 quick tips |
What makes a successful email marketing plan? Here are 10 quick
tips to consider when launching yours: |
1. Ask for permission.
Sending to people who want to hear from you is the best way to
remain legally compliant, maintain a solid reputation, and generate
great results. And with consumers becoming more finicky about
what they read - and servers becoming more finicky about what
they deliver building a true permission-based list is more important
than ever.
2. Get into the address book.
Want to know the secret to reaching the inbox? It's the Address
Book. Get in there, and you're more likely to bypass any filters
and show up just the way you want to. So remind your audience
members to add you to their address book (or white list or safe
senders list) every chance you get.
3. Give your emails style and substance.
The visual possibilities of HTML mean it's easier than ever to
create emails that are attractive and enticing. Just make sure
that in addition to creating emails that look great, you're also
giving your emails enough substance to warrant sending them in
the first place. Marry style and substance with the campaigns
you send, and your readers will thank you (and probably buy something
while they're at it).
4. Send with delivery in mind.
Before your emails can be read and responded to, they have to
be seen. That's why we make sure your emails are sent in a way
that's designed to ensure high delivery rates - through personalized
delivery, sophisticated delivery policies, and ISP relationships.
And it's why we offer you the tools to proof your campaign's content
prior to send-off and see the complete results (good and bad)
after it's out.
5. Use (really use) the subject line.
Arguably the most important single line of any email, the subject
line is your two- second opportunity to catch someone's eye and
convince them to stop and look. More
than one great email has been ruined because of a generic, vague
or uninspiring subject. So craft your subject line with care,
test variations whenever you can, and remember that those are
the most important 5 to 10 words in your campaign.
6. Know your audience.
The key to creating appealing content is to really know the group
to whom you're trying to appeal. Use your signup screens and database
to collect information about out who they are, where they live,
and what they like, and enlist your recipients' help to keep that
information fresh and upto- date.
7. Tailor your message.
Forget the old days of batch-and-blast. Today, it's about creating
smaller, more targeted mailings based on your recipients' demographics,
interest and more. The more timely, relevant and personal you
can make it, the better.
8. Handle opt-outs immediately.
This is one thing you can't mess around with. The Can-Spam legislation
grants you 10 days to handle opt-out requests, but in the world
of email 10 days is an eternity. That's why our opt-out feature
handles requests instantly and remembers those requests to prevent
against accidental abuse.
9. Understand (and use) your results.
Tracking metrics like receipts, bounces, opens, clicks, forwards
and signups is the first step to understanding what's happening
to your emails. But those numbers are more than just metrics they're
your audience talking to you. Not with real voices, because that'd
be weird, but through their actions (or inaction). Listen to what
they're saying and then apply it to your future emails.
10. Experiment and adapt.
Like most things, email marketing isn't a one-size-fits-all proposition.
So start with a basic plan, apply your philosophy and style, and
adapt as you go.
