Email Marketing Things to Do

1. Conduct Tests and Track Metrics

You have to know where you are to improve. Marketing is all about trying new things to optimize a user’s experience. Create a benchmark of how your emails perform, then set up trails and test out ideas. After the trail, take down the results and compare them to your benchmark. Consider the following metrics: open rate, bounce rate, click-through-rate (CTR), and unsubscribe rate. 

2. Choose Your Specific Audience with Segments

Personalized experiences outperform generic campaigns. Segment your mailing list so that you can send specific email campaigns or messages to a specified group. This approach will make the content more relevant and useful to your audience instead of the cookie-cutter approach that will alienate them, losing you subscribers.

3. Make Opt-Outs Easy

No one likes feeling cornered or trapped. Not only is it a legal requirement, it is reassuring to offer an opt-out for your list. Keep the opt-out process simple so your brand is transparent, thus trustworthy. 

4. Continue to Educated Your Company

Technology and the most recently updated best practices constantly change. Stay relevant and useful to your subscribers by staying on top of any changes in the field and in the related technology. Join groups, contribute to discussions, and keep exploring to bring the best product to your subscribers.
