Helpful Email Marketing Tips

It’s important to make sure that whatever design you build can be viewed in a responsive format. Over 50% of readers will attempt to open your email on a mobile device. If your email isn’t viewable on those devices, you are losing out on potential subscribers. Here are some helpful tips to consider:

1.) Another challenge in email marketing is getting the viewer to open your email. So what does it take to get someone to act immediately when you are competing with a full inbox of competitors vying for attention?

• Questions make great email subject lines. The best questions will arouse a sense of curiosity in order to learn more about the subject matter. (e.g.)  What can I get my boyfriend or girlfriend for Valentine's Day? or Are you planning something special for Valentine's? or maybe something more abstract such as: Where’s the love? or Who do you love?

2.) The “How to” subject line works well, because it allows you to be clear, concise, to the point and informative. (e.g.) How to cook a great Valentine’s dinner. How to surprise your lover in the kitchen. How to make this the most memorable Valentine’s Day ever.

3.) The “Short Supply” subject line is a great motivator. No one wants to be left out. (e.g.) Short time only. While supplies last! or Only 2 days left to get 50% off on your heart-shaped photo album.  

4.) Of course it all depends on what you are selling and who is your audience. Taylor your subject line to your target audience, while leading into what you want to convey with your email blast. Track what happens and you will learn to adjust as necessary. 

Conclusion

Valentine's Day provides a great opportunity to boost your sales through email campaigns.
