How to Create Email Newsletters that Inspire Action

Get Subscribers to Read and Act upon Your Content
If you have been searching for ways to breathe new life into your content, remember that some methods are as effective as ever. You could spend time and energy devising a dazzling marketing campaign on social media. Before you do that, however, you should consider this: Email is still one of the most effective means of inspiring action from internet users. Make the most of your content marketing efforts by utilizing this tried-and-true way to communicate.  

How to Increase Your CTR and Conversions:

If you are already sending email but are not getting the results you want, it is probably time to make a few changes. Most people receive dozens of emails per day. This means that yours need to compel subscribers to open them. Once they do that, readers must also be driven to act upon what they see.

Employ the top 4 strategies to create more effective email newsletters:

  • Subject Lines – You cannot increase your average click-through rate (CTR) or conversions if no one is opening your emails. Use subject lines that instill a sense of urgency while appealing to the needs of your audience. If you publish a frugality blog, for example, your followers would likely respond to this type of headline: “Last chance to save $30 and gain lifetime access to our program!”
  • Limit Frequency – Currently,the average working person receives close to 100 emails per day, and that number is expected to rise. If you do not want your emails going unopened or being sent directly to spam folders, do not bombard people with irrelevant content. Instead, only send email when you have essential information to impart, such as an upcoming sale or other event.
  • Freedom of Choice – If many of your users seem to respond favorably to frequent emails, offer them a way to select the frequency with which they receive them. They might choose from options such as daily, weekly, or monthly newsletters, as well as an option to only receive emails when a major event is about to take place. 
  • Maintain Focus – Avoid information overload. By remaining focused on the topic described in the subject line, you will have a better chance of holding the attention of readers. Even if you prefer to keep the tone of your content casual and personable, rambling aimlessly about the details of your weekend will cause your subscribers to move on to more pressing emails. 

Marketing emails still incur significantly higher percentages of CTRs and conversion rates than social media ads do. If you want to reach your subscribers and increase conversions, say it in an email. Just be sure that what you have to say is relevant and compelling to your subscribers.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores.

5 Proven Ways to Improve your Website Ranking

The rules of SEO can often feel elusive, as if SEO is a great big experiment in which the parameters keep changing. Search engines keep updating the algorithm. User behavior is evolving and adapting to circumstances, all the time. You don’t have any control over how pages rank, or do you? Google will never share how it determines SEO ranking. Customers change how they search and shop. We may not fully understand the complexity of search engine algorithms, but we can test different elements of a webpage to see how customers and search engines respond to your content marketing strategies. It’s called split testing.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
