Effective Email Marketing is Easy


Email is the distribution system of the Internet and it is easy and inexpensive to use.  Whether it is utilized to find new clients or communicate with your current clients; if done effectively it can help grow your bottom line. 

When creating an email keep in mind the importance of creating value for your reader. Steer clear of over-selling your services otherwise your email will be relegated to the spam file. Give your reader relevant information that strikes an emotional accord with them. Also make your headlines powerful to draw your potential reader into your email. Once again relevancy is important, as well as a headline that is news worthy and stokes the reader's curiosity. Remember to keep the headline short, personable and actionable.

Be sure to use a targeted list that is segmented. This way your relevant and engaging message will go to the people who want to read it. If not, you will have many people searching for the unsubscribe link.

One last item is frequency; once a month, once a week? It depends on your audience. You don't want to over send communication to your list because it can be construed as spam.

A third party supplier can help you with customizing an email that will get results. Just remember to target, segment and make it relevant. Happy emailing!
