Tips for an Effective Email Marketing Campaign
1. Avoid the Spam Filters:
Make sure that your emails do not contain content that could be caught by spam filters.

2. Avoid low cost, low quality mailing lists available for rent
. Do not compromise quality by going for low cost. A lot of companies tout low cost lists but remember that half the email addresses on such lists could be expired, belong to uninterested users, or even belong to spam checking companies. Generate your own quality leads instead or go to a company that is SPAM compliant and are knowledgeable about their lists. Ask UM Direct for more info about their high quality, spam coherent lists.

3. Go for opt-in, not opt-out
Opt-in means you place a form on your website asking interested users to leave their email ID’s. Hence emails are sent only to those who explicitly ask for them. In opt-out, you email users and ask them to unsubscribe if they do not want future emails. However, not everyone will actually unsubscribe; if they don’t want your emails they might simply “junk” them. Hence you keep wasting resources on sending messages to inactive users.

4. Greet Recipients by name. 
This makes them feel more like people and less like numbers. It improves chances of a better customer-business relationship and makes it more likely for them to respond to you.

5. Treat statistics with caution. 
This is very, very important. Do not be misled by email marketing statistics. Dig a little deeper beyond the numbers to see exactly how the number was calculated and exactly what it is representing. For instance, find out how the delivery rate is calculated: are all emails that didn’t bounce automatically included in “delivered”, regardless of how many of those got diverted into spam or junk? Or is your marketing company employing a delivery monitoring service that actually monitors the number reaching the recipient’s inbox? Of course, it would be the latter number that is of use to you, not the former.

An effective email marketing campaign will be a targeted, cost effective marketing strategy that no business should risk not doing.

Email marketing is the most profitable and highest converting direct marketing technique. With the properly laid out strategies and well thought out email marketing campaign, you can not only make repeated sales with existing customers but you can also win many new prospects. You can target your audience with pinpoint accuracy.

For any type of email marketing campaign you will need a landing page which is targeted to the emails content. Your email message must have a great opener, to get the reader to firstly open the email, the email message must be strong and captivating to ensure the reader reads the email and obviously clicks through and completes the action you require, and the landing page should match the email content.

So for an effective email marketing campaign you must consider the following

Email value proposition
It is important to build a strong email value proposition. The receivers do not have the time and patience to read every mail they get so your proposition should convey your purpose straight away. It should be informative, pleasing and persuasive. It should be targeted to the reader and it should be an offer they would want to receive.

Customer profiling
Not every customer has the same requirements. So when you send out the data or create a mailing list, separate the groups sharing similar interests in terms of information they would like to receive. Send the mail having that information only to that group. This customer profiling helps you in providing right information to the right people. It saves time and keeps your message receivers happy.

Special offers
Visitors look for incentives when they sign up with you. You can start by giving them some membership or points for free when they sign up. Later on, providing them with exclusive offers, special discounts, lucky draws, next month’s exclusive previews, and advance sale alerts can keep them enticed and interested in your mails and products.

A successful email marketing campaign keeps in mind the needs of the people who are buying your products and services and caters accordingly. So spend time and research what you need, your desired outcome and how you will reach this.
