Give Readers A Choice For Increased Rates

posted on: August 2nd, 2010

One of the major problems that email marketing campaigns face is a low reading rate. If you’ve spent hours and plenty of valuable resources on your email marketing campaign, you want to be sure that your emails are going to be read. The trouble is that marketing emails are often treated as junk mail. Sending only to opt-in email addresses is a good way to increase your reading rate. When internet users have knowingly signed on to an email list, they are less likely to kick your mails into the spam folder. While opt-in mailing lists don’t guarantee readers, they at least guarantee that your readers have heard of your company. It gives you a fighting chance. Even better results can be gained if you increase the choices your target internet users have. If users are able to access a control panel for their email to adjust their settings, they gain a sense of empowerment over the mail they receive. Also, in direct contrast to registration forms, more options in an email control panel tend to produce better results. Instead of simply offering an opt-in or opt-out selection, try offering various types of email subscriptions for your email marketing campaign. If you want to discuss your options, talk to the web marketing experts at Click Consult. Internet users tend to ignore email marketing when they have no control over it. In offering a control centre, you allow your readers to have some ownership of their mail. Studies have shown that this increases readership by a significant percentage.

How To Be Successful With Your Email Marketing Campaign

posted on: July 20th, 2010

Many marketers create an email marketing campaign without spending much time planning the content or layout of their emails. Poorly crafted emails with irrelevant content that don’t offer anything substantial will not be opened or read by recipients, therefore achieving a poor conversion rate. The first aspect of a careful campaign is considering the volume of emails you send out to your subscribers. By bombarding people with emails you will lose respect very quickly as well as subscribers. By planning the content of your email marketing campaign including the material used as well as the layout, you will keep subscribers focused and interested in your communications. Some business owners believe that by sending out huge numbers of emails to anyone and everyone they will get at least a small percentage of interested parties, but those people will probably never purchase from you again. This method of sending bulk emails without prior permission is called spam and is illegal, as well as extremely annoying for the recipient. Using high quality squeeze pages or landing pages that give a taste of what you have to offer will encourage people to sign up, and because they are genuinely interested in your information they are more likely to make a future purchase. To create an email marketing campaign that is successful takes a lot of time and effort, which is why here at internet marketing agency Click Consult, we will do the hard work for you and create a campaign that has high conversion rates.
