15. Tips to Maximize delivery potential
Create great content.:
– ISPs are increasingly looking at user engagement as a means of
gauging the legitimacy of emails and their senders.
– Open rates, click rates, response rates and user-generated
spam flags all matter, and to drive strong metrics in these areas
• You need to present highly relevant content with each communication.
• To draw customers’ interest, the content must tailor to their needs and
desires.
• Ask yourself: Does this message fit my audience’s
demographics, behavioural patterns and personal preferences?
• To find out, test your messages before you disseminate them to assess the
impact of your send frequency, subject lines and other personalization
tactics.
• The bottom line on content is that it must spark customer engagement.
If customers find that emails from your brand contain useful and
desirable information, they will keep opening your messages.

16. Tips to Maximize delivery potential
• Adhere to the law to steer clear of spam. Sending relevant content
and developing a reputation for doing so are the best ways to
ensure
ISPs direct your emails to customers’ inboxes.
– But while content relevance is king, there are also certain
regulations that provide a threshold for legal compliance.
– The federal CAN-SPAM law applies to all commercial, non-
transactional messages sent within the United States. (Commercial
messages include any emails sent with the primary purpose of
advertising or promoting a commercial product or service, including
content on a website operated for a commercial purpose.)
• It requires three specific areas of compliance
related to
– unsubscribe processes,
– email content
– sending practices
17. Tips to Maximize delivery potential
• Keep your distribution lists clean.
• It’s important that the people who receive your emails are people who have
indicated that they want to receive these messages.
• If you keep your email lists organized and free from inactive addresses, you will
undoubtedly increase your delivery results.
• A good way to start is by removing all hard bounces after every campaign mailing.
Then, take off any users that haven’t
opened a message in six months.
• Simultaneously, it’s crucial to nurture new opt-ins by sending automated welcome
messages that lay the foundation for strong relationships. Purchasing email lists
and third-party data is not a wise practice, as it inhibits
personalization—a key element of strong email content.
• Finally, make it transparent and easy for users to unsubscribe. Making
it difficult to do so encourages customers to flag unwanted messages
as spam. Better that they don’t receive the messages in the first
place.
19. Emailing During Occassions
• Tip 1: Review last year's campaigns. Take some time to look at last year's creative,
messaging, offers and metrics, paying close attention to conversions and any
spikes in opens, clicks, unsubscribes and complaints. Knowing what worked for
you last year will help you build a successful strategy this year.
Tip 2: Pay attention to fundamentals. Don't rush through creation and miss
important aspects like tags,
broken images or links. Pay close attention to:
• Subject lines: Stand out in a crowded inbox with clever, unique
subject lines, and be sure to mention offers and discounts.
• Call-to-action messages: Be sure to include a text version of
your call-to-action as images might not display. And remember, while
it is tempting to pack emails with products, offers, and more, too
many options overwhelm shoppers. Keep it simple.
• Holiday flair: Use holiday-inspired headers and footers that link
to gift centres, customer service, shipping rates, and delivery
schedules.
20. Emailing During Occassions
• Tip 3: Design effective landing pages.
– Landingpages must be designed to entice and
encourage a sale, and
– must make it very easy for the customer to complete
the Donation
– Just like your emails, landing pages should be direct
and focus on the product linked
from the email.
– If you require your customers to search for the item
you'll lose them.
21. Emailing During Occassions
• Create a consistent cross-channel campaign.
To maximize sales you must communicate with your
customers across multiple channels—email, mobile
and social, online and print ads,
in-store displays, and more.
• Most importantly, you must be consistent
in the messaging.
• Be sure that the main message (including prices,
dates and specials) remains the same.
• Your multi-channel campaigns should be designed to
work together and support each other.
22. Emailing During Occassions
• Launch a special holiday email series.
Creating a holiday campaign, promoting it as a special series Helps
• Remind.
You could be losing three-fourths of your potential donors to
abandoned; but an automated re-marketing campaign / Call Backs
can increase conversions, average order size and your overall ROI.
The holiday season is hectic for everyone, but don't overlook these
tips – they will increase the loyalty and lifetime values of your
customers and grow your holiday revenue.
