10 Tips for Email Marketing Success
by Marvin Maloney

Your e-mail feature is a ready to go effective tool for both online and off-line marketing. It costs you nothing and puts you in direct contact with potential customers and clients. Even so, the task has been made more difficult in recent years by the fact that Internet users tend to be savvier. This simply means that you have to be more clever when implement your e-mail marketing campaign.

So tip number one revolves around how you view the people who you plan on contacting by e-mail, and this is important because how you view someone comes across when you communicate with them. Experts on the topic of e-mail marketing success agree that you should see the people you contact as prospects and approach them as such.

Tip number two is to have clear and concise goals with regards to what you want your prospects to do once they open your e-mail. For instance are you looking for them to buy something? For them to tell a friend about what you have to offer? Or maybe you want them to sign up for something.

Tip number three is to take a critical view of whatever you have in your e-mail from a prospects point of view. Try to put yourself in their shoes so you can better anticipate their response. Ask yourself questions such as why are you sending me this e-mail? Why should I even care? What's in it for me?

Then tip number four is to not leave your prospect guessing after they open and read your e-mail. It's a common mistake to assume that they will click through to find an answer to a question you've proposed, people want their questions answered immediately.

Tip number five is to make the subject line as short and to the point as possible, and don't delve into any of the content. It also helps if you present an immediate and obvious benefit for opening it. Try keeping it light and casual, as if it's an e-mail from a friend or acquaintance.

Tip number six is to keep the content as short as possible, relevant and to make sure that it doesn't go off topic. If your prospects see too much text when they open up the e-mail it only increases the odds of them not reading it. If you do have more information to offer, then perhaps you can put it in some type of information section that you can offer separately. Also if your text must be more than four paragraphs then do your best to break it up with bullet points.

Tip number seven is to have a catchphrase, not just any catchphrase though, rather a catchphrase that apply to your business genre and what you're trying to communicate. Keep in mind though that sometimes less is more.

Tip number eight is to be specific and to the point with regards to what you want your prospect to do after they open your e-mail. You're have only milliseconds to get the reader's attention, so if there's any questions in their mind as to what they should do you're more likely to lose them. Tell them straight away what they should do, and why they should do it now.

Tip number nine is to keep in mind that the first time you do anything in life it qualifies as practice, and this also applies to an email campaign. Of course you'll get better as time moves on, but the smart thing may be to consult a professional in the early stages of your efforts.

Tip number ten is to use e-mail marketing software. Not only does it make contacting more people faster and easier but with software you're also able to do things like track results and gather important information that you can use to make adjustments in your marketing techniques.
