What Covid19 Has Brought To Email Marketing

The most successful email marketing companies in the months, and possibly years, to come will be those which are able to respond to how their subscribers have changed in the post Covid-19 world. You might well be wondering how to plan for something so unpredictable. Read a dozen forecasts on what the new norm will … READ MORE »

Do You Depend On Experts?

I used to work for a large, non-email marketing, company that was under considerable public scrutiny as it was often the source of quite startling headlines. Senior staff were demoted sideways if their department was the target. Fault was an inconsequence. I was given the task in coming up with a defence in the, rather … READ MORE »

Have Responses Changed In The Recession

There seems to be a general consensus that the current recession will continue even after the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted, although an agreement between all experts does not necessarily mean it will happen. It follows that there will be a certain reluctance to spend. Email marketing is likely to be hit less hard than … READ MORE »

Landing Page Copy Should Reassure Subscribers

Your marketing email has performed well and a subscriber has clicked through to the landing page. From here on in you can only mess it up. You should remember that nothing is over until money has changed hands, and just because the subscriber has shown an interest does not mean they will complete. You’ve still … READ MORE »

Unending Source Of Inspiring Subject Lines

The search for effective Subject Lines for an email marketing campaign is the bane of anyone whose job it is to write it.

Use Free Gifts To Enthuse Subscribers

I have eleven dictionaries. In addition, I have two thesauruses. To be fair, I only use five of the dictionaries with any degree of regularity, although the two thesauruses take a bit of a pounding. Like me, you might think I would be a whiz at Countdown. After all words are my job and I … READ MORE »

Refining Social Proof In An Email Campaign

We mentioned recently the advantages of social proof in convincing your subscribers to complete. There’s nothing quite as convincing as wondering why, if everyone is doing something, you are left out. We highlighted six general headings. This alone is not enough; like everything else in email marketing you need to target. For instance, one of … READ MORE »

Considering A Post-Lockdown Economy Drive?

Way back when, predating the Internet and email marketing by some years, I used to be part of a team that designed corporate imaging.

It was lucrative but the inevitable predictable recession came as something of a surprise. … READ MORE »
