Putting together the perfect marketing email is a fine art. Here\u2019s a six-step process to crafting the best customer messages to boost your sales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Determine the goal of your campaign<\/strong>
Don\u2019t just put any message out there. Make it targeted and know your goal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are you looking to educate or re-engage customers? Are you keen for signups or referrals? Are purchases or registrations your main target? A clear target can help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Measure your success<\/strong>
What are your key performance indicators once your email has gone out? There are several ways to measure this, from your click-through rate to your email list growth rate, or unsubscribe rates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll need to review all these metrics alongside conversion rates, email read times, churn rate, and subscriber acquisition cost to determine the true value of your messaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Use a professional platform<\/strong>
Email marketing platforms like Mailchimp or Litmus can provide easy-to-use, professional templates for email marketing, and many can integrate with your sales tools, allowing for more personalised messaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These tools can help from every aspect of planning to execution \u2014 perfect for first-time senders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. A strong CTA<\/strong>
A \u2018call-to-action\u2019, the snappy message at the end of your email inviting your customer to engage, can drive new business or get old customers back onside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Highlight the value of what might happen after they click; phrases like \u2018save time now\u2019, or \u2018save money today\u2019 can entice customers to choose your business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Optimise design<\/strong>
As mobile devices become the dominant medium for New Zealanders browsing online, it’s crucial that today\u2019s marketing emails are optimised for viewing on phones and tablets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Make sure your images are clear and in high resolution, and that email file sizes are below 102KB to avoid them being clipped by recipients\u2019 Gmail accounts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Double check everything<\/strong>
Even when you think your email is ready to go, give it one last check.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Verify that your subscribers have opted in, and research and follow spam laws in the countries where your customers are based. Here is a snapshot of current laws in NZ<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
