Getting email marketing right can be a tricky undertaking, especially for budding businesspeople. Here are three steps to craft emails effectively in selling your product!
Focus on the subject line
The subject line of an email needs to be an attention-grabber. A customer signed up for your email list for particular content, so you have to deliver on that promise in the subject line. Playing with the customer’s curiosity, but not too much, can also be helpful in developing the subject line.
A story, and why?
Make sure to include a story to remind people of why they signed up for your email list. Don’t bore them of course, but they are more likely to buy your product if they feel that the relationship between business and consumer is more personal than transactional.
Link strategy to drive sales
Your customers clicking on the link makes the sale. However, in line with step two, it is important to sandwich the link that makes a product sale in between your content. You are trying to sell the email as worthwhile itself as well as your product. This is important because email lists, unlike products themselves, are easy to share which ultimately leads to more sales.
