Every business should invest heavily in email marketing, email marketing is a form of marketing that allows you to communicate directly with your audience while cutting out the middle man.

Unlike social media marketing, you are not reliant on a third party to pass on your message and you won’t lose all your hard work if your members decide to delete their account.

Moreover, email marketing will help you to convert your readers far more efficiently than any other form of marketing and the simple reason for this is that email marketing is much more personal.

For you to do email marketing right, there are a lot of things you need to keep in mind. Here are some of the most important pointers.

Steps to skyrocketing your email marketing

Be Personal

Tip number one is to make sure that your emails are personal. We have already just discussed that email marketing is more personal, thus you need to make your writing personal if you are going to make your emails more engaging and interesting.

Making your email personal will help you to get past not only the spam filter more efficiently but also the ‘social’ and ‘marketing’ email boxes found in Outlook and Gmail.

Use the recipient’s name (most autoresponders include this feature) and make sure that your messages use a regular letter-type structure.

Maintain Your List and Target

Your ‘Sender Reputation’ is a score that is linked with your IP address and/or domain in much the same way that a credit score can be linked to a particular account.

The idea of a sender reputation is that it will reflect the quality of your emails as a whole and whether or not you should be allowed to ‘get through to your readers.

There are many things that will cause you to get a bad score. One of these things is your bounce rate.

If lots of your emails bounce, this can badly affect your score because the software assumes that you actually spamming random emails.

Another thing is your open rate, if none of your emails get opened, this too will hurt you. The same goes for complaints of course.

So this means you need to focus on the quality of your list more than the size.

When you send emails to people who never gave you their contacts, it will not be read, that is why you must never buy contacts.

Likewise, if you have people who never open your messages – delete them!

Use incentive

An incentive is a free gift like an ebook or report that you give away to new subscribers. It is also called a lead magnet.

This is a great tool for encouraging people to sign up but it’s important to be very careful when using it.

The reason for this is that the wrong incentive can actually harm your mailing list.

If it’s too valuable for instance then people will sign up only to get the free gift and then never open your messages subsequently – very bad for sender reputation!
