2. When it comes to generating higher website traffic and making money online, nothing tops email
marketing. It’s certain that your websites would receive thousands of visitors because of your email
marketing efforts.
In all likelihood, to make a sale you would reply to enquiries of your prospects. But, have you
communicated with them even if they haven’t purchased anything from you?
Have you faced a situation where you did not follow-up with a prospect after sending initial
messages and consequently lost them to a competitor?
Sometimes a potential customer may be interested in your product or service, but needs more
convincing to contact you or maybe he just wants you to follow up.
In today’s world, email marketing has helped generate sales and convert targeted prospects, into
sales ready customers. However, if you don’t follow certain key points, results of a campaign may
vary and not generate the success that you expected.
Working with an experienced organization like Strategic Outsourcing Services can ensure that you
are at the right side of the law, and are following all conventions related to privacy policy and email
compliance.
In this primer, we will analyze the hits and
misses of email marketing for online businesses.
1. Restrict Unsolicited Commercial Emails
Some marketers believe that sending unsolicited commercial emails or bulk emails can generate
a 10 per cent response rate however in reality it is not likely to be more than 0.01per cent.
Sending unsolicited bulk email can actually create a negative impact as it angers a significant
percentage of mail recipients. It may even lead to legal hassles and your domain can be blocked
by many ISPs.
2. Utilize Opt-in Email List Rentals
Opt-in email list rental is a better option for sending bulk emails. There are many companies that
have email addresses of prospects that that have opted-in to receive commercial emails.
This strategy works fine as long as the recipients are not asked to pay for reading the messages;
they are genuinely interested in your offers and have willingly signed up.
Strategic Outsourcing Services is a company that has database of millions of contacts across
categories and offers opt-in list rentals at competitive prices.

3. 3. Include Branded Messages
Sending email message with your brand name makes for a good marketing strategy, as it
increases brand recognition. Additionally, it adds a personal touch to the mail and reinforces an
existing relationship with the recipient.
4. Be Creative with Emails
A text heavy- boring email may not be the ideal way to start your email campaigns. Why use that
when you can use HTML and graphics to make your message more appealing. Photos, logos
and other relevant images can be designed around a creative concept to create an impact.
Large organizations like Strategic Outsourcing Services have resources to assist businesses in
conceptualization, development and design of HTML or graphical e-mail.
Both text and HTML messages are sent simultaneously for the people
on your list that have a system that doesn’t support HTML messages. The HTML message is
displayed by default however, if the language is not supported, the message is visible as plain
text.
5. Opt for Lists
When you work with a list selling company like Strategic Outsourcing Services, they will
recommend the most appropriate list to target potential customers.
In fact, they can even make customized lists. They will inform you whether prepackaged list will
do justice to your requirements or you need to go for a combination of lists.
6. Landing Page Optimization
Prospects or email recipients won’t purchase products or services from you immediately after
reading your mail. Often they will sign up for your services and would like to learn more regarding
your offers.
Therefore, it is necessary to include a link to your landing page, along with the privacy policy in
the email creative. Moreover, you need to ensure that the landing page is attractive as well as
informative for the recipients, who click on the link.

Some of the words that can cause your mail to be rejected are:
SAVE, CASH, PAY ONLINE, SATISFACTION GUARANTEED, SAVINGS, FREE, EXTRA
MONEY, CLICK HERE, PLEASE VISIT and OFFER just to name a few.
You should also refrain from using oversized graphics, thick borders, bright font colors, large font
sizes and writing in CAPS.
