eMail Marketing & Custom-Designed eMail Templates

eMail marketing has proven to be both an efficient and effective means to reach customers and prospects, yet many companies neglect to employ the full power and capabilities of a well-designed eMail campaign.

Effective eMail Marketing Starts with a Compelling and Interactive Design

eMails can be highly interactive. Your prospects are just a click away from your Web site, landing page, or even a lead-capture form. The impression you make and how you guide customers and prospects toward a conversion goal are absolutely crucial to your eMail marketing success.

When Designing Your eMail Campaign, Remember AIIC

Like all client-facing media, a well-designed eMail campaign should employ AAIC: Attract, Intrigue, Inform, and Call your readers to action.

The Key Components of Effective eMail Design

• A professional design that reflects your brand identity and imagery (Attract)
   

• A subject line that compels the recipient to read (Attract)
   

• An intriguing, benefit-oriented lead-in header that will pique interest and improve the likelihood of your prospect reading more (Attract)
   

• A transitional header that provides details to support the lead-in header and serves as a bridge to the body content (Intrigue)
   

• Informative and persuasive body content (Inform)
   

• Interactive links to your home page or relevant subpages, landing pages, white papers, blogs, product specials, or service offers (Call to Action)
   

• A newsletter sign-up form. (Don’t assume that everyone who reads your eMail is already signed up. Intriguing eMails can be forwarded to thousands of new prospects.) (Call to Action)
   

• A strong and suggestive offer (Call to Action) 

Why Is eMail Marketing So Effective?

eMail is an integral part of our lives and, for many people, the primary means of communication. And while our inboxes are often filled with messages that we don’t want, if we receive something worthy of our attention or something that fills an unmet need, we are likely to at least give it a glance.

With eMail marketing, you will get one of three very clear responses:

1. Click to open (I’m interested)

2. Delete/unsubscribe (Get out of my life)

3. No action (I’m too busy to act right now, but may read it later)

30% Open Rate, 10% Click Though? Is It Possible?!

Yes. In fact, we have seen even higher results from some well-crafted campaigns. And almost all our campaigns result in better than 3% click through. With results like this, email marketing cannot be ignored.
