8 Ways to Boost Your Email Click-Through Rate
Did you know the average email CTR is about 2.5%? Not bad! But some brands are more than doubling this figure, and Sleeknote has some awesome tips so you can do the same.
- Start By Setting a Clear Goal With Each EmailĀ Your goal might be letting subscribers know of a flash sale or a new product launch. Knowing your goal will allow you to more easily communicate with a purpose.
- Use Segmentation to Send Hyper-Relevant ContentĀ Itās time to ditch āspray and prayā if thatās your approach. This can be as simple as including the subscriberās name in the message. Keep in mind that segmented and targeted emails generate 58% of revenue for eCommerce brands.
- Use Strong VisualsĀ A picture is worth a thousand words. A great image in your email will grab more attention.
- Eliminate DistractionsĀ Clutter wonāt do your CTR any favors. Less is more, so let your CTAās be concise and easy to find.
- Design Your Emails for ScannersĀ 79% of people scan content, and scanning is more prevalent for emails than for websites. Break your email into smaller pieces to digest. Give each piece a headline and keep the most important pieces toward the top.
- Use Buttons For Primary CTAs (And Text Links for Secondary CTAs)Ā People love to push buttons. Use them to draw subscribers to your primary CTA. Donāt overwhelm them with buttons, so stick with text links for other CTAs.
- Create a Sense of UrgencyĀ Give people a reason to act soon. A limited time offer or a sale deadline is more enticing to subscribers.
- Practice Email ScrubbingĀ Unengaged users do you no good. Scrub your list about every six months. This can save you money since youāll raise your conversion rate and youāll be sending fewer emails.
