What are Promotional emails ?

What are Promotional Emails ?

Promotional  emails are basically commercial broadcasts that usually offers incentives to drive sales and revenue to the business. Main objective of this type of marketing is to convince target audience to make a purchase. These are also used to convince customers to download, subscribe or to register for a service.

When this type of marketing executed with perfection this helps businesses to increase sales and revenue. And it also increase its customer retention and engagement, which automatically results in customer satisfaction, increase sales and revenue.

So, the design and content of promotional emails should focus on persuading the potential candidate to take action within a specified period of time. The primary focus of promotional mails is to get the word out of the potential customers about your product or service.

Promotional emails are of many types , some of the common types are discount coupons, invitations for visit etc.

To write successful email one should be very particular about some factors .These factors are as follows:

  • Personalize the email– Email should be of customers point of view, marketers must stick to the topic . Emails must not be duplicate or rather than sending mass mail marketers must focus on the subject or interest of the customer. It can be more better with candidates name at first.
  • Keep it concise but powerful – When a recipient clicks on the email, so its the duty of the marketer to frame the email that will grab the attention of the person. Email must be short,relevant and strong which is easy to understand, means language should not be technical, it should be easy-to-understand.
  • Focus on a singular message–  Having more than one message makes your email less effective. Use words and actions that prompt action. Active calls to actions can increase click through and lead to sales.
  • Make the email mobile friendly–  A large percentage of target audience will read most of the emails on their mobile phones. Including subheadings, images, lists etc will enable the subscribers to gasp information more accurately.
  • Re-check your content

What to put in your Promotional mails:

Email Marketing is About Connecting

As social media grew in popularity, many marketers started to question the future value of email marketing. Those thoughts, however, quickly waned as marketers saw the return on investment (ROI) of email continue to be the best among all marketing channels.

So far I’ve received more than two emails — from products and services I signed up for. They didn’t annoy me, but they certainly didn’t serve any purpose, if there was one. Especially for B2B companies, email marketing can be very powerful if done right, but many companies don’t get the basics.

I’d like to take this opportunity to share some thoughts on email marketing in general 

What Is Email Marketing and the Benefits of Using It?

Email marketing is a type of direct marketing that involves businesses sending promotional messages via electronic mail to a group of prospects and customers. It’s widely used as an efficient and cost-effective method for new customer acquisition, building brand awareness, and increasing product sales, as well as fostering trust and loyalty with a company’s customer base.

  • Compared to other digital marketing channels, email is top-rated by marketers, with 53.6% of respondents rating it as excellent or good. Social media marketing and search engine optimization are rated second and third by marketers, respectively, with excellent or good ratings of 50.9% and 45%.
  • More than half (58%) of the companies surveyed said that they are planning to increase their email marketing budget, whereas only 7.5% are planning to decrease their budgets.
  • 23% said generating more leads
  • 19% said improved sales
  • 17% said improved conversion rates
  • 13% said reduced marketing costs
  • 12% said identifying better-quality leads
  • 9% said integrating with other media to boost response
  • 3% said shorter sales cycles.

Advantages of Email Marketing

Email marketing allows you to reach millions of customers with a click of a button. Like any marketing medium, it has its advantages and disadvantages. Use it correctly, and you’ll make more money, but use it incorrectly and you could lose your business. Weigh these pros and cons before you start an email campaign

Cost:

Compared to other forms of marketing, the cost of an email marketing campaign is quite low. You do not have to pay printing or mailing costs. Most likely, you’ll have to pay for a company to send your mailings, which protects your business against spam complaints, but this is a small, monthly charge. You may also have to pay for a copywriter to write compelling sales copy for the email message

Spam

“Spam” is an unsolicited email. If you want to email your customer base, you need to receive permission from them. Even though you may have this permission, some people still consider any commercial email spam. If you send too many emails — and “too many” varies by person — you can give the customer a negative view of your company.

Increased Sales

Because you can contact so many former customers via email, you’ll be able to increase interest in your product, which often results in increased sales. While there’s no way to tell exactly how much you’ll be able to increase profits, it’s safe to say that your mailing will generate at least some more sales

Tracking

Email marketing allows you to easily track the effectiveness of your campaigns. When you send out a direct mailing through the post office, for example, you have no way to know how many recipients opened your mail. An email message, though, shows you how many people received it, how many opened it and how many clicked through to your links and made a purchase.

Deliverability Issues

Your email may not reach its intended audience. For one thing, certain terms, such as “free” or “money” could trigger the spam filter, where your recipient may never see it. Other times, your email headline may not be enticing enough for the customer to open the email

Shutting Down Your Site

When several customers report your emails as spam, the email provider may report you and your company to your Web host. If the host agrees that you may be spamming people, it could shut down your website.

4 Steps to Promoting Your Blog With Email Marketing

Typically the blog promotion process looks something like this: blogger writes and publishes a blog on the company website, posts are shared in social channels, and if there is space, certain posts are featured in newsletters. Blogger waits for Google to index blog, and hopes for a favorable position on the search results page. And you can often squeak by with this strategy. But taking a proactive and more strategic approach by marketing your blog with email marketing or a blog digest can help increase your pageviews, improve your organic search results, and enhance reader engagement. The following post covers the steps required for creating and sending out a blog digest (based on my personal experience!) so that you can promote your blog and build a blog digest into your content marketing and email program.

Step 1: Choose a tool

You will first need to decide what tool you will use to send your blog digest. We use SendGrid’s Marketing Campaigns (can you blame us for being biased?) so that we can custom build a weekly email that provides a more visually appealing email that reinforces our brand. If you’re looking for help with design and templates, check out SendGrid’s free email marketing templates so you can jump in right away and start building your campaigns.

Step 2: Decide on a sending cadence (and test it)

After you’ve decided how you will send your blog emails, determine how often you will send the digest emails. Some options include: After each new blog is published – not recommended if you post more than a couple of times a week, in order to avoid email overload. Weekly – for example, every Wednesday at 10 am EST. This option is great if you publish more than once a week. Monthly/bi-monthly – this would be a good option for content programs that publish one or fewer blogs each week. Once you develop a cadence and build muscle memory with your blog digest emails, the process will start to feel like second nature.

Step 3: Create curated content experiences for your blog audience

Now it’s time to craft your content! This will include a personalized subject line, preheader text, headline, body copy, and CTA copy. Keep in mind that depending on your email marketing program, your email marketing list and blog subscriber list may consist of different audiences. Generally, if somebody signs up for your blog digest, they are more interested in educational content over promotions and emails that include coupons, upsells, and generally more sales content. Blog subscribers are certainly a lead, but they may be a lot further off from converting than somebody who has requested to talk to your sales team. So your content should reflect that distinction. Some tips to keep in mind while writing your email copy for your blog digest: Be conversational – the blog subscriber list is your community and those who value your content, so keep it conversational to keep them engaged. Shorter is usually better – quality always wins out over lots of copy. You don’t need to present every last detail in your emails. Save some content for your landing page (or wherever your CTA is directing them to).

Step 4: Measure engagement

Once you’ve started sending blog digest emails, you can start to tally your engagement metrics such as opens and clicks and make appropriate changes based on how your recipients respond to your content. And once you get comfortable with tracking baseline metrics, you can start to look at additional metrics such as your click to open rate (also known as your relevancy metric). These engagement metrics allow for additional validation of our content and whether it’s valuable and resonating.

What is Email Countdown Timer?

An email timer is technically an animated GIF that counts down a specific time in the future. In simple terms, we can say that it is the use of a timer in email for an upcoming event.

The ultimate goal of the countdown clock is to make email readers act on the spot so that it doesn’t let them postpone for taking action. To create urgency among customers at a time when there is a product launch, deadline for booking your spot, or end day of sale.

You can use this kind of timer in email as you can see the above image.

Best Practices using Countdown Timer for emails

1. Drive urgency with care

Don’t use a countdown timer in every email. If you do that, your subscribers will grow weary and will come to think that your email marketing as gimmicky. Instead, only use urgency tactics if you have a deadline– or decide to share those deadlines sparingly.

Remember, urgency marketing is not at all marketing.

2. Be Clear

Anytime you have a marketing campaign, clarity is always a goal–but it’s even more important when using Countdown. You’ll want to be sure you are crystal clear about what event or deadline you’re counting down to.

If not, you’ll just frustrate your subscribers so you’ll not able to see results you are looking for.

3. Keep it above the fold.

If you use Countdown below the fold, you’ll send a mixed message. If the deadline isn’t important enough to be the very first thing in your email, what is it doing there at all? It goes back to the first point: You only want to emphasize the urgency. If you really mean it, and if you really mean it then you’ll want the countdown timer to being the first thing in your email.

The main message is urgency, so keep your timer above the fold to attract the most attention and focus from your subscribers.

4. Keep your CTA close by and make it strong.

Emails that drive urgency typically have an increased click-through rate, so you’ll want to have a strong call to action and in close proximity to the timer.

Because you want to make it as easy as possible for your subscribers to visit your site and convert. Don’t make them go searching for the CTA button. Instead, keep a clear, actionable CTA right by the countdown timer to increase your click-through rate even more.

5. Don’t mix your messages.

You don’t want to overwhelm your subscribers. So when you add a dynamic element like Countdown to your emails, make sure it’s the prime focus of the entire message. In order to avoid giving your subscribers motion sickness, minimize the moment in your emails. And don’t include any other animated GIFs.

6. Test, test, test.

Testing is key when it comes to optimizing your emails. Use A/B testing feature to test two variations of your email to see which one works best: one version of your email with Countdown, and one without.

This will help you see which version works best and prove the value of implementing Countdown in your emails along with these practices.
