How does email marketing work?

In email marketing, you offer the customer something useful with a request to leave you a contact (his email).

Then you start a dialogue with him. For example, provide relevant information in which he may be interested.

Then you can offer something else. For example, a discount or a gift, organize a purchase or service, and then get feedback. The received feedback will help to understand interests and needs of your potential client and to work on further tactics of communication.

Of course, this scheme is conditional and, depending on the scope of your business or brand, adjustments are possible.

What are the types of email newsletter?

There are such main types of email newsletter:

Triggering (event, automatic)

For example, such letter is sent on the birthday of subscriber.

Promotional (those that sell)

are letters with promotional content. For example, about the sale of goods, promotions, discounts, events, etc. This is one of the most popular types of email newsletter.

Thematic (informational)

are letters with a specific informational focus. For example, it can be news, instructions, reviews, research. They help to understand your product better, as well as increase interest and loyalty to your brand.

Reactivational (reanimational)

are email newsletter that restore or terminate interaction with the subscriber via email.

Transactional

is email newsletter that is sent automatically in response to a specific customer action. For example, you can tell a subscriber that his order is fine if he has just completed the service.

Effectiveness of email marketing

Main effectiveness indicators of email marketing:

1

Number of subscriptions. To form your contact database, it is not enough to simply place a subscription form on the site. It is necessary to offer potential customers a kind of barter: useful information in exchange for their email. The more valuable your offer is, the more visitors will be eager to subscribe to your email newsletter.

2

Percentage of opened letters from the whole number of delivered (Open Rate, EOR). The higher this rate is, the more subscribers will learn the information contained in the letters. It is known that good Open Rate indicators require interesting headlines, but at the same time they should reflect the essence of the text itself. You can use A/B testing to find an interesting headline. The average EOR is about 20-25%, which is considered a very good result. It is important to know that the opening rate is higher for emails sent on Tuesday, and users are more likely to read mail in the afternoon.

3

Click-to-Open Rate (CTOR) isplays the number of users who clicked on email to buy a product or went to your site.
Important factors that influence reading the email are the design and structure of the letter, as well as color design. The main helpers in increasing the Click-to-Open Rate are segmentation and automation (using the triggers we talked about earlier).

4

Unsubscribe Rate (UR). Their total percentage should be at 1-2% level. There can be some wishes to unsubscribe from your email newsletter if you send emails very often, or they are not interesting, and you need to improve the content.

5

Returning on investments (ROI).This is the ratio of profit and expenses of the project. The ROI in email marketing is usually very high – it can reach up to 4000%. It is believed that email newsletter is one of the cheapest ways to build a channel of communication «client-business».

6

Spam Complaint Rate (SCR). This indicator is acceptable at 0.03-0.09% level. To prevent emails from being spammed during email newsletter, you need to think about the quality of mails and their content. Otherwise, your account may be blocked. You can check email in spam databases using post master from Google and other mail systems.

How often is it necessary to send email newsletter?

There is no clear answer to this question. Much depends on how your subscribers react to the frequency of emails. For example, you can do an effective email newsletter every day or just a few times a month. We recommend experimenting with different segments, frequencies, and mailing types.

Usually the first greeting letter can be sent immediately after registration, the second – in 1-24 hours, the next – in 1-3 days.

What are the main trends in email marketing in 2022?

Automation

Providers and CRM systems will collect more and more user data. In order for marketing specialists to be able to create automated campaigns taking into account expectations of a particular customer.
