Is It Worth Jumping On The Bandwagon?

Bandwagon is normally used as a pejorative. It contains contempt for those who can’t think for themselves and instead merely follow others. There was a talk by a chap who thought he’d cracked the system when, in a previous recession, competing shops around his closed, leaving him as the only retail outlet selling his particular … READ MORE »

When To Ignore Grammar In A Marketing Email

I read a number of articles on email marketing every week. A lot. Every now and again one stands out, perhaps as useful, or maybe it’s an idea I have not thought of. Less frequently, I come across a suggestion that seems patently wrong, and even the strongest tut is an insufficient response. One came … READ MORE »

How To Improve Your Calls To Action

A call to action can seem a little intimidating for subscriber reading a marketing email. Some boxes can come across as too demanding. A ‘Click Me’ is nothing more than an abrupt demand for action and lacks the subtle encouragement that should be our norm. We need to do better. We don’t do ourselves any … READ MORE »

How to build loyalty of subscribers

If I was to tell you that I know a way of encouraging 71% of your subscribers to make more purchases, 61% to recommend you to friends, 41% to join a loyalty program and 40% to write positive reviews comments, you’d either bite my head off to get at it or think it was a … READ MORE »

Is Your Email Marketing Copy Boring?

Like a lot of writers, I regularly ask someone whose work I admire to check my copy.

It’s a bit of a risk, but only to my … READ MORE »

Use Auto Responders Appropriately

In the last five weeks I’ve lost two contracts. I’m not after your sympathy or advice; it happens, although more frequently nowadays. Both were expected. On the positive side, it’s given me an opportunity to do a bit of housekeeping, although I haven’t hoovered under the bed. I’ve concentrated on email marketing peripheries. I’ve gone … READ MORE »

Are Your Email Marketing Returns Falling

Many of us must feel we’ve become experts at noticing when performance has, for no apparent reason, dropped off. We’ve all struggled with such problems all our email marketing life. All of a sudden the percentages are lower, ROI is down and no matter how closely you study the circumstances, you can’t fathom why. One … READ MORE »

The Addictive Lure Of Email Marketing Statistics

There is a dichotomy in the way I view statistics. They are probably the single most important aspect of email marketing, giving it its class leading return on investment, one that has been consistently high year after year. On the other hand . . . If you were to ask me how much faith I … READ MORE »
