Benchmarks : some definitions

• The email open rate is used by marketeers an indication of how many people "view" or "open" the Email they send out. This rate is calculated on the basis of an Image tag. So it can be influenced by the fact that some Email readers do not show images.

• The delivery rate represents the Emails that are considered as arrived in the mailbox of the destinee. It corresponds to the number of Emails sent minus the bounces (hard and soft). However, this only gives a partial view of the reality as some Email Services Providers do not send back a bounce even if the mail is not delivered.

• Click through rate expresses the number of readers that have clicked on a least 1 link in the email they have received.

digital • It is right to copy : inspire yourself of other

newsletters in your business area

• Create low-fidelity prototypes with paper and pencils or a wireframing software: place text and image blocks on your drawing

• Do not forget to place Email “essential add-ons” : pre-header, header, footer…

• Circulate your drawings among colleagues and gather feedback from users

• Only then, ask a Web designer to create a working prototype

Great Email designs start with a good process

• An Email is not a website : some web conventions do not work in an Email

• Remember the fold (depends from the mail reader) : place you Call to Action in the most visible part of your email

• Images are blocked by default on many email readers: design your mail so that it will display correctly even with images off

• Limit the size of banners

• Position your images in order to create a rythm in your design

• Use bullet points and paragraphs to structure text

Design Constraints

• Maybe the most important part of your E-mail – Drives Opening Rates and has a important impact on spam scores

• Make your point in less than 50 characters :

– Depending of your Email reader, it is possible than more than 50 characters are allowed so, bring the most important aspects in the first part of the subject line.

– Do not repeat the name of the sender in the subject line (already in the From) – Avoid to break In the middle of a word or an idea

• State clearly what’s in it for the reader – Be short and relevant – Do not overstate the real interest of the mail

• Use A/B testing: – Test different wordings – Use different metrics (opening rates, click-through, final conversion).

Subject lines

• Pre-sells the CTA -> increases the opening rate • Increases the visibility of online version • Increases the visibility on mobile readers • Increases deliverability scores • Serves as reminder in the mailbox

Call to Actions (CTA)

• “Click here” is not a CTA : be clear on what the consumer will

get by clicking : ex: “buy now”, “get your free copy here” • Location, Location, Location : place the CTA before the fold

• Have at least a TEXT version of your CTA in case images are not

displayed

• Font Size : put the CTA in bold letters so that it is clearly legible

• Replicate the same CTA at various places in your copy and offer alternative CTA

Preferences Center

• A preferences Center allows to segment your list based on readers interests

• Process must be straightforward

• The “preference” center page must be accessible from every mail

• Add a “snooze” function to allow your contacts to temporarely modify their preferences as they can change over time.

Unsubscribe procedures

• Good unsubscribe procedures are key to your reputation and deliverability : you must facilitate unsubscribing to avoid that people declare your mails as spam.

• Gold rule : KISS (Keep it Simple and …) : the process must be straightforward. Ex: do not require a password to unsubscribes

• Make your unsubscribe link visible : put in in the pre-header if you have problems of Email reputation

• Act first, ask after: if you want to ask you subscribers to tell the reasons of your unsubscription, do it only after having registered their unsubscription.

Email relevance becomes a vital issue

What’s in a word? Relevance is easier to define by its contrary : irrelevance

As their inbox are flooded by irrelevant e-mails, people tend to consider messages as spam because:

The timing of the message is not adapted

The frequency of the message is too high

The content is not differentiated

The design does not fit the browser or the device (iphone...) specificities

In short : the future of mass e-mailing is not too rosy. But its siblings have good chances to survive.

Relevance...Beyond Deliverability

• Relevance is NOT – A synonym of deliverability – A technological-only

problem

• Even if you manage to put 100% of your message in your readers mailboxes, you still have an issue with relevance

• However improving relevance is a key element to better deliverability

Page 24: Workshop digital 8 - Direct marketing at digital age (Albert Derasse)

If you don’t tackle irrelevance, someone will do it

• People who consider your e-mails as irrelevant are more susceptible to declare your mail as spam to their ISP

• Internet Service Providers track the opening rates of your mails. Low opening rates influence your spam scores. It can lead to blacklisting.

«Because at the end of the day, the goal is to have marketers send messages that consumers want. At the end of the day, it really becomes a lot less about permission, and more about what consumers are asking for.»

Segmentation and personalisation

• Problem : – Less than 20% of marketeers use segmentation because of

• limited creative ressources (70%) • lack of data (50%) • lack of time (50%)

• Consequence: – Mass e-mailing still prevails – People consider mails as «bulk mail» and unsubscribe or report as spam

• Solution :

– Segment your database at registration moment – Enrich your database with surveys – Track what customers do

• Links click history • Web analytics • Buying habits • ...

Enrich your database with customer feedback and surveys

• Consumers are generally willing to share their feedback about your messages, so it is advisable to regularely ask them questions.

• Add a quick link to a feedback form.

• Reward feedback with feedback : if you change something on the basis of users feedback, do not hesitate to tell them.

Example of segmentation patterns

• Explicit preferences and interests : the most obvious and underused way to segment.

• Implicit preferences based on open rate and click through rate : give a score to links in your Emails and segment accordingly

• Prospects vs Clients : nothing is a counterproductive as sending the same message to prospects and clients containing better deals that what the former client got.

• Time preferences segmentation : people tend to open their e-mails at a given time. It is wise to follow the same pattern. For example : phone users tend to read their emails in the morning, Ipad users read their emails in front of TV in the evening.

• Acquisition channels : people coming from a call centre or co-registration must be treated differently than people who have opted in on your site...

• Geography : people receive specific offers targeted to their region.

Triggered campaigns

• Triggered e-mail are the most susceptible to be considered as relevant by the addressee as they closely follow the user status.

• Key success factors :

– Use with care. Be certain to recognise where it’s appropriate to create trigger based campaigns and where there may be little benefit.

– Set Frequency Limits. Don’t send too often, but do not under-send. When was the last time the customer or prospect received something from you?

– Think customer first. Don’t be fooled by the capabilities of your marketing automation tool.

– Keep it simple and manageable. It is unlikely that the campaign will immediately deliver results. Be prepared to polish your work over time.

Testing and measurement

• Use control groups. Take a small group of profiles who will not be affected by the relevance improvement. Monitor the difference between this group and the groups on which you test your relevance improvement strategies.

• Don’t test too many (max 3) variables to avoid any risk of confusion and non representative numbers.

• Be systematic. Test every message you send to your audience. You can use automated split testing mechanisms.

• Keep track of your experiments. Information gathered through testing can help you setting the blueprints for future successful campaigns.

• Customer relationship management (CRM) is a broadly recognized, widely-implemented strategy for managing and nurturing a company’s interactions with customers, clients and sales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes—principally sales activities, but also those for marketing, customer service, and technical support

• To put it more succinctly, CRM is a strategy for managing the relationship with customers using technology to automate & organize the interactions
