Here’s an email about email from our creative director, Rich.
Email marketing has seen a shift over the years. The days of ’email blasting’ are evolving rapidly. Consumers are becoming wiser and spam filters are calling ‘foul’ more frequently.
Your email marketing campaigns should be thought of as a personal way to reach your audience.
Heck, how many of us check emails on the toilet? No need to answer that one and certainly no judgment being passed here. We call that efficiency.
You get the point…
People checking their email are inviting you into their personal space and they can kick you out with the click of a button.
So, how do you avoid becoming a victim of the dreaded ‘unsubscribe’ button?
- Understand that email is permission based: Remeber that you’re the guest of the inbox, not the host. Be cool.
- Target wisely: Segmenting by demographics and user engagement will allow you to craft relevant messages for the right people at the right time.
- It’s all mental: If you detect a “blast” mentality on a team you work with, beware. Words have power. The wrong words can promote poor decision-making and perpetuate a strategy that will ultimately self-destruct.
