Email marketing is one of the most powerful tools in your business toolkit – but it’s also one of the most underutilised. At B Thriven, we know how disheartening it can be to spend time crafting the perfect email, only to see low open and click rates. To help you get the results you deserve, we’ve compiled 10 practical tips that will have your audience clicking in no time.
1. Nail Your Subject Line
Your subject line is your email’s headline act. Keep it concise, intriguing, and relevant. Test out questions, numbers, or a little mystery to make your readers curious enough to open.
2. Speak Directly to Your Audience
Personalisation goes beyond just using someone’s name. It’s about understanding what matters to them. Segment your audience and craft emails that align with their needs and interests for a more meaningful connection.
3. Timing Matters
When you send your emails, can significantly impact their success. Experiment with different days and times to find what resonates best with your audience.
Bonus Tip: Many professional service businesses find success mid-morning on weekdays.
4. Offer Real Value
Every email should give your audience something they’ll appreciate. Think of tips, exclusive insights, discounts, or free resources that make opening your emails worthwhile.
5. Keep Mobile in Mind
Over half of all emails are opened on mobile devices, so ensure your design is responsive. Short paragraphs, clear fonts, and easy-to-click buttons go a long way in improving the user experience.
6. Don’t Overwhelm With Information
Stick to one message per email. Be clear about what you want your reader to do and avoid cramming too much into one communication.
7. Test, Analyse, Repeat
A/B testing can provide valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t. Test your subject lines, images, and CTAs to continuously refine your approach.
8. Build Relationships, Not Just Campaigns
A/B testing can provide valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t. Test your subject lines, images, and CTAs to continuously refine your approach.
9. Use Eye-Catching Visuals
A/B testing can provide valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t. Test your subject lines, images, and CTAs to continuously refine your approach.
10. End With a Strong CTA
Every email should have a clear purpose. Be specific about what action you want the reader to take – such as booking a consultation, downloading a resource, or visiting your website – and ensure your call-to-action is straightforward and easy to follow.
