Does Email Marketing Still Work?

By Joseph Stan


Email is still one of those things everyone keeps saying that you need to do, in fact many say that the money is in the list. But there is a right way to do email marketing and there is a wrong way. In this article I plan to give you a few pointers that are going to teach you how to get the most out of your email marketing efforts. One of the major things you can do so that people can recognize your brand is using email templates. Using your logo and colors in your emails will most likely improve your open rates by 20%.

One of the worst things you can do is trying to buy email lists, the best contacts are the ones you have gathered yourself. Reason is you know those contacts are targeted to your niche and what you are offering. Buying bulk email lists will only waste your time and your emails will most likely go straight into the spam folder of the recipient. Concentrate only on gathering your own list and build a relationship through emails with that list.

When the time comes to actually write a promotional email is important that you make your subject line short and sweet. Misleading subject lines will most likely get you a lot of unhappy subscribers, be honest and to the point with what you are offering. Remember even with email marketing honestly is still the best policy.

One of the things that can really destroy your reputation online is trying to add people to your list who didn't ask to be added. Never add anyone without their permission, which is why using capture pages is a good idea so your visitors can decide whether or not they want to give you their personal email.

Hopefully these email marketing tips can give you a few ideas on what to do and what not do when it comes to marketing using emails. If you apply these tips it will most likely help you get better results with your business and get you more eyeballs to your business, opportunity or product.
