5 Email Marketing Strategies

December 2nd, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Marketer always say that “the money is in the list”. So now that you’re building your list, how do you keep your members subscribed. And more importantly, how do you get them to open your emails, actually read them and click on your links, and then actually buy whatever you’re promoting?

Here are 5 email marketing strategies to help you out.

1. Give your readers value. – This has to be the most important thing you must remember when implementing your email marketing strategy. You have to build up trust with your reader, give them a reason to be subscribed to your list. They probably already have enough junk in their inbox, give them something of value that will not only keep them subscribed but will make them open all of the emails they receive from you.

2. Have killer subject lines. – No one is going to open your email if it’s the same old boring subject line, so spice it up a bit. Include the most important information first, and also be sure to include a sense of urgency so that they feel the must open the email right away.

3. Involve your readers. - Every now and then send out an email asking for their opinion on certain things. Set up a poll and ask your readers to make a vote on the poll and to also leave a comment. This will increase your reader response and activity.

4. More information, less promotion. - Only send out a promotional email after every two or three information emails. You want to keep your readers happy and subscribed with emails that are actually helping them in whatever niche it is. Give back to them since they’re helping to make you money.

5. Proofread every email as a subscriber. – Read over every email before you send it out, but pretend that you’re a subscriber receiving the email. Did the subject line catch your attention? Was the email really worth opening up and reading? Be sure to put yourself in your readers shoes… would you want to be on your own list?

I hope these email marketing strategies will be helpful to you and your email list.
