Many businesses rely on email marketing and take great pains to build their email lists.
With the current pandemic, email marketing is coming up to be even more important as the whole world practices social distancing. So, the need of the hour is to up your email marketing game and get more consumers to notice your online business. Online businesses already knew this and have been running with it. You can up your email marketing game with these few tips.
Email Sending Frequency
Definitely think of increasing your email sending frequency a little but not too much that you are considered SPAM. More people are staying and working from home now, so they do have more time to catch up with emails. But tread the fine line very carefully and you will see success.
Use email marketing tools to monitor email open and engagement rates to help find out exactly how many emails are good. If your target audience is opening and clicking your email links, consider sending more often. Do make sure that your content is good, to the point and not too wordy. Campaign tools like MailChimp give you a big toolset to track your emails and engagement.
Due to the pandemic and everyone working from home, eCommerce demand is high and keeps increasing. Use the current time to learn more about how your customers feel about your product. Find out if there are other ways to market to your customers. Survey customers to find out how you could better serve them. Find out what other products interest them and you could expand your product range and offer more products. All of this adds to your bottom line.
Maintain a high send rate and try to be in your target audience’s minds at all times.
