To be successful in email marketing, you must always aspire to get things right every time. Your email subscribers are busy people who won’t waste time reading emails that deliver no value to them. You must do right by them!
Unlike transactional emails, broadcast emails (sent to a group of people ? usually your list of subscribers) ? are naturally understood to help in nurturing relationships. These relationships lead to delighted and loyal customers over time. The big question is; what should a marketer include in his or her broadcast emails? There are three categories of broadcast emails. Each category dictates what information goes into the email.
Promotional emails/ Sales Blasts
Just as the name suggests, promotional emails are the emails sent out to a list or a given segment of your list. Promo emails are meant to communicate an offer to your customers at least in many instances. As such, the most appropriate time to use sales blasts emails is when you have a promotion to offer to your list. While not all of your subscribers will take the email positively, trust me; a good number of them will appreciate this kind gesture and even make orders.
According to SendPulse, for effective sales blast emails, it’s essential to keep content concise and under 500 words, incorporate engaging visuals, use active voice while avoiding jargon, and prioritize personalization by tailoring the message to the recipient. Testing different subject lines and content, and tracking results are also crucial to understand audience preferences and campaign effectiveness.
Newsletters
Newsletters are usually sent to the whole list and on a schedule, say weekly, or fortnightly. Irrespective of the length of the email, a marketer must ensure that the information is valuable to the subscribers.
Newsletters are a critical tool for relationship building. They give organizations the opportunity to interact with people who are interested in what they sell or create. Openness is encouraged when interacting with your email subscribers. Brands that send out newsletters regularly obtain valuable feedback that facilitates its growth. Over time, the business begins to reap the benefits of one to one communication.
According to the HubSpot Blog, sending regular newsletters to your subscribers helps maintain your brand’s presence in their minds, increasing the likelihood that they will consider your brand when making a purchase. Newsletters serve as an effective tool for nurturing relationships with subscribers by delivering valuable content and offers. This approach fosters trust and encourages subscribers to engage in business with you.
Some of the things that go into newsletters include;
- Showcase your company culture and what you have been up to as far as community outreach is concerned
- Feature the customer of the month. Use this opportunity to show your readers how your product/service has helped solve your customer’s challenges
- Share industry news that you believe your subscribers would be glad to know
- Keep your customers updated on upcoming events
- Educate your readers on new and creative ways of using your product/service
Digests
Unlike the other types of broadcast emails, digests may be sent on a daily basis although some marketers prefer using them weekly or monthly. Email digests are simply summaries of content (easy to scan). A good example is a summary of blog posts across the web. They could come from a given industry or a selected organization.
Email digests are more inclined to links than words. The most appropriate time to use email digests is;
- When a marketer has a lot of content to share with the subscribers
- When a marketer is in the business of re-marketing content more than he produces fresh information
- If you are part of a body of active producers of content and therefore have a lot to share
- When your subscribers make requests to have access to specific content
According to Stripo, an email digest is essentially a consolidated email that summarizes all emails sent during a specified timeframe or upon reaching a volume limit, which is then delivered to subscribers at chosen intervals. Stripo emphasizes that this digest format presents an excellent opportunity for businesses to offer their subscribers the latest product development updates. It enables companies to share crucial and noteworthy news, ensuring that readers remain well-informed about all matters relevant to the company.
