Transcript: 9 Things to Start, Stop, & Keep Doing (Part 1)
There are so many tips and tricks out there — and at the end of the day, sometimes all you really need to know are the latest practices that you should either weed out, keep doing, or add to your strategy.
Hi, I’m Shane Phair, Senior VP of Marketing at Campaign Monitor, and this is The Email Minute.
Let’s look at three email practices you need to stop right now.
First: stop overreacting when you get unsubscribes. Despite what we’d like to believe, not everyone wants to hear what your brand has to offer. And in that sense, it’s okay if they unsubscribe. It’s actually better for your results, better for your investment, better for your deliverability, and better for your segmentation to have an engaged audience that wants to see what you send them.
Second thing: stop your batch and blast sending. The inbox is a personal place to interact with your customers and subscribers. Stop sending out one message to your entire audience. Establish a strong, personal connection with them, and nurture that to drive more results from email.
And finally: don’t send any more irrelevant subject lines. The buzz of subject line click-bait is long gone. Your emails will get way more longevity out of direct, transparent, and intriguing subject lines.
Next time on the email minute – 3 email practices to start today.
