Most of the brands have in place an
email marketing program that they rely on to get the success. But the
same program might not remain effective anymore in wake of changed
circumstances. So what is required to be done? Let’s take a look:
1. Re-Work On Your Preference Strategy
You need to ask, observe and categorize
the customers in the relevant groups. You can use preference page to ask
about the channel preference, including the social media outlets. In
this way you’ll be able, to capture the preferences more correctly.
2. Make Sure That Your Data Is Correct & Well Synchronized
Businesses have numerous touch-points to
reach a customer. You need to ensure that the data being used for the
campaign is up to date. One of the ways to do it to see that the channel
data matches the master data.
3. Are Your Mails Reaching Inbox?
You’ll have to make sure that you’re
authenticated. What does that mean? It means that all your emails are
getting through, and the spam complaints are well addressed. It is
better to have an engaged list as it will help you in tackling the
deliverability issues.
4. Have You Made Your Campaign Smartphone Ready?
There are millions of smartphone users
across the globe. The number is only increasing by the day. More and
more brands are trying to reach the pocket of their customers before
anyone else. In such a scenario it is very crucial that your email
campaign is optimized for the smartphone. Responsive designs are
increasingly being used for the purpose. So you must ensure that your
emails look clean and good on the smartphones.
5. Have You Segmented Your Mailing List?
A micro-segmentation can help you get
the desired results. While demographic data (age, gender, job title,
income level) is the first thing many informed marketers do, there are
numerous other kinds of segmentations. Your list can be geography
specific as well. If you’re planning an upselling campaign, it is better
to have the segmentation based on the past purchases. So if you have
customer that has just purchased a television, a DTH connection is the
next thing he’ll immediately need. If you have customer purchase data
available, you can segment them in Rich Shoppers (With High Income),
Discount Shopper (Motivated By Sales Discounts), Brand Shopper (those
who were loyal to the brand).
You can also segment your mailing list
on the basis of time since they purchased from you last. Think of
aligning them in two major groups: Frequent buyers and One-time
customers. The frequent buyers are more a target for upselling,
promotional deals. On the other hand, one-time customers should be lured
with mails of personalized discounts, renewals and repurchases.
6. Keep Track Of Reports Over A Series Of Campaigns
Although the performance of each
campaign is necessary, it is better to track the conversions over a
period than from one campaign alone. It helps you in gauging the
customer behavior than just a single purchase.
7. Make Use Of Templates
Numerous templates for email marketing are available which you can use on specific holidays or for sending promotional codes or for sending other mails. Just ensure that the brand consistency is maintained.
