Get Emails Done

Email is one of the few things that all internet users have in common. Email is free, user friendly and everywhere! This is what makes it such a powerful marketing tool! Email marketing allows you to have instant and repeated communication with prospects and team members. You can promote your products, services, website, anything you like, over and over again! A well-crafted email campaign can really make your sales skyrocket with little initial investment.

So, what are the elements of an effective email campaign? Send emails to targeted prospects. You will be wasting your marketing dollars if you don’t. Not everyone is going to be interested in your product or service. Don’t waste your time with those who aren’t! Personalize all your emails. This can increase your response ratio by over 50%! People are overwhelmed with email these days. One that has their name in the headline is much more likely to catch your prospects eye. Also, inserting their name in the copy of the letter tends to keep them reading your message.

A headline must have all the ingredients to catch the eyes of the reader. People keep forgetting that a title is the first thing a person will see from your message. If it doesn’t click in their minds, your message will be most likely passed over or tossed to the recycle bin. You could have the most interesting and up to date article or message, but if you don’t pull those eyes through your title, your message will never be read.

In your first paragraph you should try to create excitement and a desire to let them know how your product will help them to solve their particular situation or problem. Remember to present benefits, benefits to keep them glued and interested in what you have to say. You need to ask yourself these questions when you are writing; how will they benefit by reading my email? What will they learn? and how I will make their life easier? Think of them and not on you and you will go farther than you think. Remember to use the word “You” and not “I” in your message.

You message must be easy to read. Always test your emails with someone you know and ask them how do they feel when they read your message. Test different headlines and track the response, vary your opening paragraph but make sure you change one thing at a time in order for you to see what needs to stay and what needs to go. Develop an effective signature file (where do you want them to go). Make your signature file no more than a 3 or 4 liner. Tell them who you are and how they can get in touch with you. Include email address, phone number, company name etc. People like to deal with people, not machines or recorders.

A good email campaign will present the chance to meet with thousands, sometimes millions of people all around the world. But this opportunity is not only available to you but to many others, so there is a fierce competition. Write your message differently, with a human touch and not mechanically. Apply the techniques explained here about an eye-grabber headline and a first paragraph creating that need to get what you offer. If you do this you will stand out from the big crowd.
