Tried-and-Tested Tricks And Tips
Strengthen Your Email List
Why?
The first and the foremost important task is to construct a strong email list.
Your whole marketing campaign can be useless if you don’t have an extensive email list to send out your engaging content to.
How?
Opt-ins work well for this purpose
Use CTA at the end of blogs
Offer incentives in exchange for email addresses like discounts or free e-books
Build separate landing page to get leads
Use a Killer Subject Line
Subject line is the first thing a person sees.
It shouldn’t only should be short and concise, but also summarize what’s inside the
email. If you have an amazing offer inside your email, but its subject line is not so
compelling then it could be a major loss for you.

Yes, even if you know that you are speaking to a potential customer, you
shouldn’t ask them to buy. Instead, strive to focus more on informing and
educating your audience.

Personalize Email For Better Results
Personalizing emails can help your customers easily remember you and it
can even entice them to check out your offer. It can be the point of
difference between you and your competitors.
Ask Customers for a Feedback or Review
You can use emails to communicate with your customers, asking
about their experience with the website, review on the last product
they purchase; or simply ask them for suggestions on improving
your product and services.
Deliver High Quality Content Through Newsletter
Use your email list to the maximum in building relationship with your
subscribers and customers. Deliver them high quality content that improves
their knowledge in the form of weekly or bi-monthly newsletter.

Success to
Get Personal
Here is again a brilliant hack to get personal
with your customers by greeting them on their
birthdays, anniversary or any special events.
There are a bundle of free and paid extensions
that can help you automate this process and
act as an auto-responder to your emails.
Leverage the Power of Automation
Use it to Activate Your Dormant Customer
You can run a separate email campaigns for customers that haven’t
returned to your store since their last purchase. Make a fascinating offer
to them. You can separately address them and ask for a word.
Don’t Stop — Try A/B Testing
Try out different subject lines, text and graphics to calculate the
difference in open rate, click-through-rate (CTR) and conversions. A/B
testing will help you plan for your next move.
Keep Things Simple
All in all, I’d like to emphasize on the KISS (keep it simple and stupid)
principle in order to produce more results. Go for a killer subject line and
don’t forget the CTA. Add a personal touch to your email address and
don’t compromise on the quality of the content you deliver.
