Healthy Email Deliverability
- Build a strong sender reputation by sending frequent emails that receive high engagement
- Eliminate risk by separating out your reputation on subdomains
Smart Email Segmentation
- Your email sending strategy should be based on subscriber engagement - sending core campaigns to active subscribers, and intentionally designing campaigns for the other engagement segments
- You should also segment based on your industry, whether that means purchase behaviour or preferences
Good Email Design
- Your emails should always have a CTA to help subscribers accomplish your email’s goal, whether that’s to learn more or complete a purchase
- Keep your design (subject line, visuals, and copy) focused on achieving your email’s goal to keep conversion high
Email Automations You Need to Set Up
- You can’t beat the relevant timing of automations - they’re must-haves to actively engage customers throughout their journey with your brand.
- Take the time to set up a good set of automations that work for your brand. Once they’ve been tested and tweaked, they’ll run worry free.
Email Metrics You Need to Know
- Knowing how your campaigns and automations are performing is helpful from a benchmarking perspective, but what really makes reporting effective is when you use the insights gained to improve your email strategy
