Email Marketing – Get To The Point

Hi Everyone

Get to the point with your email marketing

because…

Many people now read their emails via mobile phones or in their email program’s ‘Preview Frame’.

You can get to the point with a specially crafted subject and headline.

Don’t dismiss this.

I was re- reading John Caples, “Tested Advertising Methods” the other night and he devotes an entire four chapters on the HEADLINE.

He wrote:

“There are eighteen chapters in this book.  Four of these chapters, or more than one fifth of the entire book, deal with headlines of advertisements.

But…

Four chapters are not too much space to devote to this vital subject.  Headlines are extremely important.  They are telegraphic messages that an advertiser puts into big print for the public to read. The majority of the public reads little else.”

And nothing has changed today.

Spend time writing your email subject lines and spend time writing your email headlines.

This will allow the mobile phone reader and the preview frame reader the ability to resonate with your message.

Cheers and Great Selling

Email Marketing – It’s Biggest Asset Is Also It’s Biggest Enemy

Hi Everyone

Email Marketing’s biggest asset is also it’s biggest enemy.

Let me explain…

It’s very affordable and cost effective to email.   Most people have an email address so it becomes very easy for anyone to send an email.

And this is where the problem could lye for legitimate email marketers.        i.e. Getting their message recognised through all the clutter in a person’s in-box.

Most businesses or people do not understand that email marketing is a science which takes testing, testing and more testing to discover what works best.

There are many things which could be tested too.

Like…

The subject lines, the headers in an email.  Images are also useful additions to an email.

Then you need to consider if you should send a short email or a long email and never discount the method of sending emails.

By this I mean emails should be sent in both HTML and Text versions. Allow the recipient to decide which format they would like to view them in.

With all emails you should also have sound content which is related to the reader and ensure you include a call to action.  Never let the reader wondering what they should do next.

The final part of any email marketing campaign should include your ‘signature’ including links and make sure you also include at least two PS’s.

Email Marketing is affordable and this allows most people to undertake it.

But…

Learn the tips, learn the ways, methods to ensure you get your messages read and become a sought after email marketer to your clients.

Yes, the biggest asset is its affordability so this makes it also  its biggest enemy.

Learn how to email market effectively and you will be soon recognised as a legitimate whiz where your clients will appreciate your messages.

Cheers and Great Selling
