With so many E-mails flooding our inboxes every day, the Spam filtering facility has been a boon for all. But for a marketer, it spells doom when all the hard work done for E-mail Marketing goes in vain as their mails are tagged as Spam by the receivers. To ensure that this does not happen with your campaign, you must take the necessary steps that we are discussing here and make the most out of it.
Content Is King
- State facts with useful content to position your offering in the mail. Maintain the right balance between information and promotion. Do not hard-sell.
- Monitor the quality and test the mail with a portion of target audience by sending a sample.
- Most readers do not have time to read through a large chunk of data, so keep it simple.
- If you must, then place the link to your website in a prominent place but away from the main text.
Promotion Does Not Mean Fooling The Buyer
With advanced software in place, most e-mail marketing campaigns fall flat when the trigger words are picked from the mail to mark it as spam. Mostly, outrageous claims like: Make more money-without spending a penny, Free installation, Cancel at any time, Lower interest rates, No disappointment are liable to be dismissed by the user.
Check and Double-Check
Read up on the spam guidelines and get the E-mail spam-checked before sending it out. Use lesser images and attachments and include plain text in the mail. Do a little research to identify the target audience and see the difference. Customize the mail as per the target audience. This increases reception of the mail and the buyer also becomes interested in opening mails received from you in the future.
E-mail spamming is set to increase despite the existing tools to combat it. The best way to get ahead in such a scenario is to gear up for quality and be creative in using E-mails as a marketing tool. Generate the right kind of curiosity and you’ll definitely have a win-win situation in your hands.
