Best Practices for Email Marketing Success

by

email marketing best practices

Do you ever feel like your email marketing efforts don’t lead to much success? Is the low open rate or no one downloading your content a regular occurrence for your sales campaigns? 

We’ve all been there. Email marketing often may feel like shooting in the dark, but what if we told you it doesn’t have to be this way?  

InsideSales.com analyzed over 18 million email marketing campaigns and today we’re going to share with you their research. We will also share useful tools to help boost your email marketing efforts in the future. 

OPEN RATES 

If you ever wonder how to optimize your emails for the best open and click-through rates, there are many tools that can help you determine best practices. Here are a few features worth checking out: 

  • Send Time Optimization for Mailchimp Users – This tool uses data science to determine when your contacts are most likely to engage, and sends it then. Keep in mind that it’s a paid feature included with all Pay As You Go, Monthly, Pro, and High Volume Plans. 
  •  SendinBlue has developed a feature that allows you to account for different variables and optimize email efficiency while avoiding long hours of research and setup. You can sing up and send up to 300 emails/day for free! 
  • CoSchedule – The best way to schedule emails is with a marketing platform built to get your team organized. With Email Marketing, you can easily connect your preferred email platform (MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Constant Contact, and ActiveCampaign) to CoSchedule with just a couple clicks. You can also use CoSchedule’s exclusive Email Subject Line Tester to optimize and perfect every subject line to drive more opens, more clicks, and more conversions.

SUBJECT LINES 

To determine the best subject lines for your email campaign, we recommend looking at it from a customer perspective first. What emails do you most likely click on? A shorter title that sparks your interest and leaves you wanting more or a long run-on subject line that looks spammy and is too vague?

ATTACHMENTS 

Emails with attachments seem to add more importance and urgency to your message. It’s worth keeping that in mind since research from InsideSales.com shows that those emails are 10% more likely to be opened.

Why Should You Outsource Digital Marketing Services?

by

outsource digital marketing

We live in a fast-paced world, when nearly every piece of information needs to be delivered right away. These days we rely on technology so much that being constantly connected to social media became a bit of a job. Not to mention, there’s a sense of responsibility to be present online whether you know digital marketing or not!

So how are small business owners who deal with daunting day to day operations of running a business supposed to manage it all? Well, they don’t have to. That’s when you outsource digital marketing services!

You see, a digital marketing team you hire will not only stay abreast of all new digital marketing tactics, but they will also know how to help your business adapt to the changes. Trust us, nothing ever stays the same in the digital world! Just in the last year, Google Chrome made a number of changes to their security requirements, Facebook announced a new “community commitment” and Instagram updated their algorithm every few months. Is your business able to keep up with all the updates without the expert knowledge of how to navigate this digital space?

WSI experts said it best: When it comes down to it, working with an agency is better than going it alone – even if you’re a solopreneur – because there is so much to learn about the digital world. We say it all the time, but it’s tough to keep up with digital marketing trends, even for marketers and agencies. And we live this stuff, every single day!

When you work with an agency, not only do you solve the “time is money” problem and escape the sell-do loop, you also gain access to the knowledge of people and resources who can take you – and your business – to the next level. Gaining knowledge is power, and it’s also so much better than struggling by yourself.

Makes sense? Next time you worry about the numbers and not enough leads, do yourself a favor and think about outsourcing digital marketing experts! They will assess your online presence from every possible angle and come up with a solution and marketing strategy that’s catered to your needs! They will also make advertising for your industry simple and straightforward.

5 Tips for Successful Video & Marketing Automation

by

At this point, you know why Marketing Automation is so important. You understand why video is a great communication tool. You’ve seen how goals influence marketing automation, and how video can be incorporated into those goals.

Last time, we talked all about why using videos and Marketing Automation is beneficial for your business. Today, we are going to dive in deeper and discuss 5 Tips for Successful Video & Marketing Automation.

 

5 Tips for Successful Video & Marketing Automation

 

  1. Center it around the Story, Not the Sale. There is a heap of sales clutter on the Internet that is actively annoying and repelling your customers. Don’t let your brand be that guy – instead, your video should be centered on the story and not the sale. Remember, the same rules that apply for written content marketing apply for video marketing – concentrate on the value you’re providing for your customers.
  2. Make it the Best 10 Seconds Ever. 1/5 of your viewers will click away from a video within 10 seconds or less. Short and to the point. Get right to the grit of the tale and manage expectations from the outset (within the first 5 to 10 seconds). Try sparking your audience’s curiosity by asking questions and using teasers to hook their attention right away. Your video should immediately convey its value and answer that “why should I watch it?” question that will be on your audience’s mind.
  3. Lighten Up and Stop Being so Boring! Encourage your video creators to be creative and take risks. Think your B2B audience can’t handle humor? Don’t feel constrained by what’s gone before you in your industry and don’t try to emulate your competitor’s stiff tone and drowsy script. Stand out and take a chance on being funny.
  4. Optimize for Search. The first thing you should do to derive the maximum SEO value from your video (before you upload your video to any sharing sites) is to host it on your own domain. It’s important to enable embedding on your video as this will help you increase the likelihood of receiving inbound marketing links. Ensure that your videos are tagged with relevant keywords and fully explained with fleshed out descriptions and unique titles. Keep this rule in mind: it is had a box, it has a purpose – Google needs you to fill it out to help you rank.
  5. Educate and Prove Yourself. Did you know that 65% of your audience are visual learners? One of the most powerful methods you can use for video marketing is to educate your audience. Teach your customers how to use your product or service and provide useful tips on how to make the most of it. Or, create a webinar to showcase your industry knowledge, position your brand as a thought leader, add value to your consumers’ lives and collect leads in the process.
