The best offer in the world is not worth a penny if your offer by email is not read. With spam levels the highest of all time and bills of sale were gathering in every mailbox each day, you're more likely to be struck, rather than seeing your offer by e-mail read....
You are smart enough to improve the visibility of your message in the inbox already full.
Most people consider two fields in their inbox: "From" and "Subject". If they recognize the address "From", usually the mail will be read. Otherwise, it is better than the "Subject" is provocative enough to capture the reader's attention or your message is sent to the tub.
The subject line is your only chance to put your foot in the door electronically. Make this line account. Your message is lost.
Here are two tips for this to happen:
1. Everything is in the title.
Have you ever noticed that most direct mail offers that manage to be delivered via snail mail a brief message printed sale just outside of the envelope? This is called a "teaser envelope" in part of direct mail marketing. The teasing is used because the seasoned marketers of e-commerce retail (B2C) know they have only 2 seconds to differentiate their letter from the rest of the package of "spam." It's more time than available to your message by e-mail to be noticed
· Avoid extravagance and false promises.
· Do not use misleading titles that can read e-mail, but that will surely drive angry.
What a misleading title: "Notice of payment received" is a title that I have often seen. The sender is trying to imitate a PayPal to pay. If you start by lying to a potential client, how do you expect to build confidence in the future?
Good titles? It depends who you reach and what you sell. Two titles that I used for years and they attiraient well.
"I have something I would like to discuss with you."
"You owe me a dinner."
After you set the title, repeat the very top of your real message to re-establish its power and create continuity. Title; "You owe me dinner ..."
In:
You owe me dinner...
Well, maybe not yet, but you will want to find out how to thank me once you have discovered (blah, blah).
2. Make your E-mail be Readable
Everyone does not serve customers e-mail reading HTML, and among those who do, every customer e-mail does not read the HTML in the same way.
Your best bet is to use a simple HTML structure i.e. the code manually. Avoid using tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver introducing markers and structures that could send even the best customers to e-mail to get around. Avoid nested tables and to overlap.
You may also want to check the validity and quality of your HTML standards 3WC face. Such verification tools are available in the system ROI Mails. After the checks, make the necessary corrections and then check again.
Save the FLASH for the web site, and limit the amount of graphics you use. Not only do they slow down the delivery of the message, which costs you the eyes of the head with potential customers impatient, but in any case, many e-mail clients block the delivery of images. Also, a report whose content images to text are high trigger spam filters.
This is not about the design is about the message. Concentrate your efforts on the sales pitch and you'll earn more money.
Always include a link to a web based version of your sales letters, so people who use HTML readers can visit the website if interested. This is done automatically in the system ROI Mails. If you use your own system developed in your organization, make sure that the link is always included.
Always build your email to be readable even without pictures. Many modern email clients block images, so many of your users will see them in the lurch without download preview images before taking the decision to allow. If your email is properly built, your message will pass, that the images are allowed or are not.
The use of these two pipes will give your email a better chance of being seen by potential customers concerned that 99% of e-mails that reach their mailbox each day. Try these tips.
