Email Marketing Good Practices
1:18 AM |Despite the huge impact of Social Networks nowadays, e-mail can be still a powerful way of reaching different groups of customers at a very low cost, on condition that is well deployed. You can use e-mail marketing campaigns to dispatch personalized communications that strengthen your brand awareness and build relationships with customers. You can achieve all of that at a very low cost because what you actually need is a contact list, customized layout and an online tool to measure conversion rates.
The main concern of many e-mail marketers in how to deliver an e-mail to the right inboxes, thereby follow the email marketing good practices and avoid spamming.
However, it's not enough to only deliver your communications into customers' inboxes and wait for their response. You have to act! Bear in mind to send an email that will make your contacts take a certain action and engage. To find out how to do it, take a look at the following best practice tips stated below:
1. Plan before you start
It's important that you plan before taking any action. By doing so, you will ensure that your email marketing campaigns have more chances to succeed. Remember that, you need to organize yourself, set up every action in time and keep accomplishing each goal at a time.
2. Build an "opt-in" contact list
We recommend that you acquire readers via an opt-in method and never purchase contact lists. Futhermore, always make sure you segment your readers accordingly to their interests as it's much more effective to send campaigns to people who really want to receive them. You should also remember that purchased contact lists contain recipients who did not opt-in to receive your messages and it means that sooner or later you can be reported.
3. Set up goals
Do you know the aim of each of your campaign? Whether it's increasing brand awareness, selling a product or gathering new visitors, make sure you always set an expectation for each campaign. You can use your first campaigns as benchmarks, learn from received feedbacks and improve the effectiveness of future campaigns. The more you know your contacts the easier it will get to establish a goal.
4. Create and test landing pages
Landing pages are a must. Do not fill up your emails with messages that lead to standard pages on your website and do not link to your homepage. You want your recipients to open the email, right? So, instead of bothering them with ordinary and boring stuff, induce an action and link to a landing page! Furthermore, make sure your landing pages have an easy to understand "call to action" structure and carry out a and b testing before you actually dispatch your communications.
5. Segment your customers
Your subscribers are not all the same! Some of them may be interested in cars whereas the others may find this subject boring. Therefore, sending general campaigns to your entire contact list is not always a good idea. It's much more effective to send campaigns to customers who wish to receive them. By doing so, you will ensure your clients receive newsletters that are relevant to their interests and will have more chances for conversion.
6. Maximise deliverability
How to maximise your email deliverability and stay away from being accused of spamming? You can simply use emailmanager online tool with a solid reputation for deliverability and make sure your campaigns are delivered to recipients' inboxes rather than spam junk.
7. Ask questions and get answers
When someone becomes your customer by completing a contact form, make sure you ask him questions that will help you plan your future campaigns. Ex. If your strategy depends upon discovering the subscriber's eating preferences, ask for it!
8. Go straight to the point
Make your subscription page easy to browse and clear to understand! Do not complicate and confuse your potential customers! Bear in mind, that sometimes less means more and it can bring you more good than harm.
9. Include inviting title
Always use a title that presents foretaste of what is inside of a campaign. By doing so, you will deliver a valuable message to your readers informing that your email campaign is worth reading.
10. Measure results
Email marketing works when it supports communication, dialogue, sharing and conversions. Thus, remember to always monitor both: opening rates and click rates. These two factors will give you an idea of what works well and what you should improve in your email marketing campaigns. Take time to read and understand campaign reports and start planning your future campaigns effectively.

What Does Sender Reputation Score Mean for Email Marketers?
1:16 AM |Email marketing campaigns can generate revenue for your online business on condition that are wisely executed. Therefore, sending mass mail campaigns require comprehensive planning and strategy in order to keep your "sender reputation score" at "right" level.
First of all, let's take a look at the importance and relevance of sender reputation for email marketing campaigns.
As you may already know, sender reputation decides whether your email goes to the subscriber's Inbox or gets marked as spam and goes to the Junk box. If you are concerned about your reputation, there are various things you should always remember about, especially if you send a large number of emails.
Sender reputation is related to the server IP address that you use for sending email campaigns. Basically, Internet Service Providers (ISP) evaluate a sender's reputation by giving different weight to several metrics associated with email marketing. It is important to understand these metrics in order to make your email marketing campaign more effective.
According to the research carried out by the Return Path institution, about 20% of non-spam emails are sent to the Junk box and never reach their recipients. If you seriously think about executing professional email marketing campaigns, we recommend that you get familiar with the following factors that influence your deliverability rate:
Large email lists: Internet Service Providers like to mark large volume senders and make it more difficult to deliver their emails to the recipient's Inbox. This way ISPs protect their users from spammers who (as you may already know) send emails in high number. To avoid this problem you can simply use our email marketing tool. By doing so, you will be able to send unlimited emails to your contact and minimize the risk of your message being sent to the Junk box.
Low quality contact list: When can we say the contact list has a poor quality? When our list is built with emails that did not "opt-in" to receive our communication and its contacts are not interested in our product/service. Ex. Purchased contact lists. If you have purchased a contact list, we recommend that you delete it immediately. If not, sooner or later you will be marked as a spammer and your sender reputation score will be affected.
Number of complaints: You must have noticed a small button in your Inbox that lets you mark an email as Spam. Most Internet users are familiar with the "Report Spam" and will use this option if they need to. How to minimize your spam complaints? Make sure that all of your readers are "opt-in". Do you receive a large number of complaints? If so, you may already have a "bad" reputation.
High bounce rate: We can identify 2 bounce rates:
"soft bounce" - when the email cannot be delivered due to a temporary issue such as a full Inbox;
"hard bounce" - where the email cannot be delivered due to a permanent issue such as a closed account.
ISPs are mostly concerned with hard bounces and you should always unsubscribe or even delete bounced email addresses. Bear in mind: even having one email that comes back to you with bounces can negatively influence your deliverability.
Track your key performance indicators: always track your complaint and delivery rates. By doing so, you will be able to monitor any changes that may affect your sender reputation score and act accordingly to the situation.
Many marketers around the world do not know how to effectively protect their sender reputation score. However, the solution is not complicated at all. First of all, you must remember about practicing good list higiene that is essential to the successful deliverability of an email campaign.
Couple of weeks ago in one of our post we highlighted some tips on creating a valuable contact list. In our opinion gathering contacts that are interested in our product/service is not especially difficult, but it certainly takes time. That's why some of the marketers do not want to spend time on practicing "healthy" contact lists and decide to purchase them from third parties. Sooner or later they all will be punished and then it will be your turn to take over.

Pricing, Positioning and Branding: From the information you have collected while analysing competition you should now use to define: product price, the way your product will be positioned and the way you are going to tell people about it and establish a brand awareness.
Achievable goals: Another step you need to focus on is seting up short and long-term goals. The most important thing at this stage is to define achievable for our company goals and accomplish them in time. Your goals determine your marketing plan and directly influence your company.
Monitor results: Make sure you keep an eye on monitoring your business progress in order to meet previously established goals.
Analyze results: Analyze what the obtained results tell you about particular campaigns and find out whether they are acceptable by your readers or if you need to make various improvements in order to achieve established goals.

What Is a Spam Trap
1:14 AM |In today's post we will talk about one of the problems that affect majority of email marketing businesses - Spam Traps! Do you know how this feature works and how it can affect your e-mail marketing campaigns?
Spam Traps can be described as tools used by various email providers such as (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc) to identify unwanted email senders. In turn, unwanted e-mail is called SPAM, which is usually sent by those who seek as many email addresses as possible and then send to them mass messages.
If you run a company and send unsolicited emails, it means that you do not follow good e-mail marketing practices as your recipients did not opt-in to receive your messages from you. In this case you are Spammer and you may not even realize how serious accusation it is!
To understand a little bit more about sending email campaigns and Spam Trap issues, let's present the following situation: After sending an unwanted email campaign, one of the recipients sends your e-mail address to the Gmail Spam Trap and from now on you are identified as Spammer and are unable to send new email marketing campaigns to any Gmail accounts. What would you do in this situation? Is it worth taking the risk? Can you really afford it?
Take a look below:
Pure spam traps - they are described as "the worst" and really harm your sender reputation. Once you have been caught by these spam traps, it will be really difficult for you to deliver e-mails to an Inbox. Be aware that pure spam traps are set up with the sole purpose of catching spammers, so if you are one of them bear in mind it's just the matter of time to get identified, and punished.
Recycled spam traps - email addresses that have existed sometime in the past but at the moment they are inactive and they have been taken over by Internet Service Providers. This type of Spam Trap is "less aggressive" as it sends alerts for a certain period of time informing about the inactivity of the account. If you are a marketer you should consider removing inactive email addresses from your list. If you don't do it, IPS will change those email addresses into recycled spam traps.
These traps are created by the ISP with the purpose of making the web a better environment with fewer email spammers. Their effort is made in order to block addresses that dispatch unsolicited e-mails to those who do not want to receive them.
You may be asking yourself: Do I have a Spam Trap in my email list? It depends, but for sure you can take some action to avoid the possibility of getting it, ex.
Do not buy e-mail lists. This is the shortest way to get a Spam Trap! Purchased e-mail addresses are probably old, inactive and are very likely to be invalid. In addition, probably many of them were collected illegally and their users did not "opt-in" to receive your notification, so if you carry on sending your e-mails to them you may be reported as a spammer.
So, is it worth risking the reputation of your business?
What about sending email campaigns to inactive subscribers or very old e-mails from your contact list? Well... it's not a good idea either, as in this case there are big chances for these emails to become Spam Traps.
The only way to prevent your online communication from being caught is to "look after" your contact list. Always remember to update it, delete inactive contacts, acquire new e-mail addresses via an opt-in, soft opt-in or double opt-in option and never forget to follow the email marketing best practices.

What Are Transactional Emails and How to Use Them
1:13 AM |Transactional emails are commonly used by eCommerce businesses and big companies all over the world. However, if you are a small player on the market, you can also benefit from using them. Read this post and find out how.
Transactional emails are very often associated with eCommerce companies that communicate with their clients every time a transaction is made. However, transactional e-mails should not be limited to eCommerce and if you run a website (portal, blog) regardless of its size, you should also consider using this resource.
Transactional emails are sent as a result of an action caused by the user. They are automatically sent notifications such as: welcome e-mails, order confirmations, password reminders, etc. By using transactional emails, you will be able to establish a direct communication channel with your customers and readers by sending to them a customized e-mail.
There are different ways of interacting with clients. You can create transactional e-mails and schedule them to be sent each time someone registers on your site, subscribe to receive your newsletters, download a file or a document, make a purchase or even submit a survey or questionnaire.
It's really up to you to use the way you want the transactional e-mails in order to improve your business efficiency.
We have stated before that the transactional emails are mainly related to eCommerce businesses, but they should also be used for small businesses. They can be sent as a result of an action triggered by the user and build long-lasting relationship with your customers. Bear in mind, that your customers are more likely to open and read transactional emails longer than other forms of communication. Therefore we recommend that you spend some time to optimize the content and its design to reach the readers and encourage them to certain actions.
Upon creating transactional e-mails remember to follow these few steps to hit the target:
include only relevant information to your readers (news your readers "opted" to receive)
link to your site (make it possible for your customers to return to your site)
include their name in the headline (customize your e-mails)
encourage future conversions
encourage sharing on Social Networks
You do not have to run a big online eCommerce to use transactional e-mails. As a small player on the market, you can also benefit from using them. If you own a contact list and want to create a stronger relationship with your customers, it means that transactional e-mails are for you. Start sending automated notifications today and you will be surprised how effective they can be for your website.

Trends and Future of Email Marketing
1:12 AM |As another year comes to an end it's about time we answered these questions: "What are the trends of e-mail marketing in 2014?". Are we supposed to expect any changes in the upcoming year? What is the future of email marketing?
The evolution of technology is constantly changing the way people around the world connect to the Internet. Computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones have changed the way email marketing campaigns are being executed nowadays. Therefore, these changes have given new opportunities for digital marketers.
It's difficult to guess what the new year will bring for email marketing, however we are able to predict some trends that will be important in the upcoming year. Have a look below:
Automatic campaigns
We can clearly notice that more and more marketers decide to send automated campaigns, such as birthday wishes, or occasional promotions, taking advantage of shares and likes of social channels. Auto campaign makes the job of many professionals much easier, so that they can focus on different things within the company. But, there is a basic automation that is not yet fully used by marketers and it's called: "welcome campaign".
Therefore, in 2014 we will probably see the rise of automatic campaigns as a fast way of communicating with clients and gaining likes/shares.
Templates for portable devices
The number of portable devices is constantly growing. Therefore, it's a good idea to have templates designed especially for portable devices such as tablets and mobile phones that can be used to send email marketing campaigns. This way you will certainly make your job easier, especially when you are not able to use your computer to send an e-mail campaign and need to do it via ex. a mobile phone. When it comes to deal with e-mail marketing campaigns, make sure that you do not forget about another important factor, which is: interesting content.
Flexibility

The company needs to keep a close eye on the recent developments in the market and the data base of customers. An effective provider of email services would always keep a strict vigil on the performance of the ongoing advertising or promotion campaign.
A professional email service would offer the following to its clients:

Real and Honest Email Marketing Tips for Powerful Connections With Your List
4:02 AM |Looking for real email marketing tips are timeless?
You’re at the right place for these tips, and what I want to offer is an opportunity to delve deep into the psychology of email marketing, and the psychology of human understanding. Once we understand ourselves first we can then understand how our list will respond to certain types of messages.
One important principle to understand is that it’s not the amount of white space you have, it’s not the bold or highlighted text that matters, and it’s most definitely not the type of font or the size of then font that really matters. Understand, yes these are important things in your email message but what is truly timeless goes deeper than that.
What really matters in your email truly understands your prospects and yourself on psychological level that reaches their core desires. Listen, understand that people have problems that they want to solve so desperately inside their lives and they just don’t understand or know where to go in the first place.
You must be the catalyst, the spark, the ignition to the solution of their problems because the fact of the matter is that if you’re not solving problems and giving value on a daily basis then your competition most certainly is and they will succeed at attracting people into their business.
Here’s a simple model to follow that will create instant fans and friendships inside your business.
Think of it as this analogy right now: We have a person that has just been wounded and is going to the doctor to get healed. At the doctor’s office the nurse goes ahead and pours alcohol on a piece of cotton and spreads it across the wound, and now the client becomes agitated. Shortly thereafter the nurse gives the patient a bad aid to heal the wound.
The wound is like the customer’s problem and the alcohol is the agitation to the problem. So in our messages we address a problem they may already be facing and we add emotions to that, because we respond more to emotions than we do to logic. So, shortly thereafter in our message we want to include a solution to that agitated wound, which is our course, system, or product.
It’s really that simple, and yet it is so much more profound that what any other course will teach right now. The lesson here is timeless because we are focused on providing value to our customers, which is something that has gone on in business for centuries.
