Return-on-Investment.SELL PACKAGES.Marketing 101—repetition works
KEEP IT SIMPLE. DON’T OVER TARGET.A local store (restaurant, retailor,
etc.) does not need to see counts
broken out five ways by zip and
demographics. This is a very
common mistake that providing
multiple options translates to better
data.
SETTING EXPECTATIONS—EMAIL MARKETING
IS TRANSPARENT AND TRACKABLE.This is good and bad as your advertisers will see exactly
how many hits they get to their site and what those visitors
do. Some advertisers have unrealistic expectations for
their email marketing budget, so help them set the right
expectations - this is advertising.
While some clients will get high levels of direct sales
others may not. Product, price and the process will all play
into what clients will get back. Consumers will not buy a
car from an email, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great
way to advertise and build branding and name
recognition...similar to the newspaper.
• Repetition is instrumental to any successful marketing
campaign. Engaging users over time builds brand awareness
and loyalty. You'll never see a TV commercial run just once,
the same rules apply to email.
• Subject Matters. Avoid words like "free," "last chance," and
"offer" in the subject line, otherwise chances are your
message is going straight to junk folder. The subject lines with
the highest open rates are descriptive yet simple, no more
than 50 characters.
• Know your audience. Your creative should be relevant and
timed just right. If you're targeting moms, mailing during busy
morning hours is not ideal.
• Mobile friendly is a must. All emails need to be designed to
show on a mobile device – in 2013 mobile device open rates
surpassed desktop at 51% vs. 45% respectively (4% view
email on both)
Tips and Tricks.
• Open Rates – What % of users who received your
email viewed your message?
• Click-Thru-Rates (CTR) – how many users
clicked on a link in your message?
• Website Traffic – how many visitors came to your
website?
