Personalisation is a good way to start your message. Instead of speaking to a whole list of people the audience will feel that you are focusing only on them.
The email format is best in plain text or HTML format since it allows the viewer to see the contents at first glance. Some businesses use .pdf or .doc format, which can irritating because it forces the viewer to download it before viewing it.
Ensure to add relevant content in your emails. Instead of just products and prices you can add informative content, various events that you may be hosting to increase participation or various media components. Media components such as pictures and videos are useful as it is a better attention-grabber than text is. However, these files must not be too big as downloading can be frustrating.
