Off To A Good Start

posted on: April 16th, 2010

A carefully crafted email marketing campaign will be your best source of income for many years just as long as you take care to consider every aspect along with following some basic rules and regulations. Before creating your email marketing campaign it is advisable to do some research into what the rules and regulations are regarding email. Spam is the scourge of marketers everywhere and will ruin your marketing campaign. Ensuring your email marketing campaign is permission based is essential with subscribers being given the opportunity to opt out at any time. All emails sent should have your identity as the sender clearly marked so that your emails are identified easily. Your correspondence details should also be included in each email to show that you are genuine, building trust with subscribers. Research has shown that people open the majority of emails that they have requested and that contain information regarding a subject that they have shown an interest in. As the majority of email that people receive is classed as spam, most emails end up being deleted without being opened. Make sure that your email recipients add you to the safe senders list so that your emails go to the inbox. If you decide to use the services of an internet marketing company ensure that they have strict rules against the use of unsolicited emails. Here at Click Consult we use a double opt in method which ensures that your subscribers will recognise your emails and open them without consigning them to the junk folder.

The Importance Of Trust

posted on: March 31st, 2010

An effective email marketing campaign will help you to establish trust and respect with your search marketing subscribers. However, it is not enough to just tell your email recipients that you are trustworthy, you have to actually be trustworthy and this can be proved to your subscribers through several actions. When you send emails, always make it clear who they are from by making sure your name is in the subject heading and the ‘sent from’ box. Use the name that your recipients will most recognise as that will encourage them to open the email. Include a familiar name in the preview pane as that is what the customer sees initially. When you create your email marketing campaign ensure that your contact details are provided on every email along with the opportunity to unsubscribe from your list, making it easy to do so. This may seem like a backwards step but allowing a person to remove themselves from your list and making it very easy for them to do so will show that you are not trying to trick them into anything - as well as complying with regulations. Giving a person the freedom of choice often results in positive actions. Give your email recipients an invitation to contact you, maybe by offering a competition or free prize draw. You could invite feedback on your merchandise to encourage communication. Open communication helps to build trust. There are many methods of building trust with subscribers and here at Click Consult we have the skill to help you forge a long term relationship with your subscribers.
