This is because we check our emails on a daily basis. With that in mind, any business owner can benefit from incorporating email marketing into their digital campaign. You just have to know how to get your message across effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a savvy marketer, you should be connecting with your prospects and customers in a targeted way. Otherwise, you won\u2019t receive the return on investment that you wish to see. So, you have to be thoughtful about the content that you are creating for your emails and who is going to be on the receiving end. Here are some of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistakes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you might currently be making.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not Listening to GDPR Considerations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known as the EU GDPR, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr-info.eu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General Data Protection Regulation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> went into effect in 2018. In order to comply with it, European Union businesses are expected to show proof that their customers actually opted in for their emails. An opt-in email list is a collection of the information that subscribers were willing to give to you. That includes their email address and name. These individuals were aware that they had checked off a box or hit a button that would sign them up to receive mass emails. While the GDPR doesn\u2019t apply to U.S. businesses, it\u2019s still something you should follow. After all, when customers receive emails that they don\u2019t want to receive, it could actually turn them off from a business. Plus, with data privacy laws continuing to change, it\u2019s in your best interest from a legal standpoint not to make this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neglecting Your Analytics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to keep up with how your emails are performing. They are like any other part of your digital campaign in that regard. If you want to create consistently engaging newsletters and other mass emails, you have to keep an eye on the open rates. This is the percentage of subscribers who actually open your email instead of taking it to the trash. You also should pay attention to the click-through rate. In terms of email marketing, it is the number of subscribers who have clicked on at least one link in your message, divided by the number of emails you sent. Both of these are important indicators of how interesting your content is. By monitoring analytics, you can stop yourself from making certain <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistakes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a Boring Subject Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People always judge a book by its cover, and people always judge an email by its subject line. If you come up with something that isn\u2019t interesting to a lot of your subscribers, it\u2019s going to show. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/resources\/email-marketing-benchmarks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mailchimp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that the average email open rate across industries is only 21.33%. So, should you be lucky enough to have an open rate that is higher than that, it\u2019s likely that you had a stellar subject line. On the flip side, if you have a lower number, think about how you can make your upcoming subject lines more purposeful. Be professional and simple, and get rid of the fluff. Considering you only have about 60 characters to convince someone to read your message, you have to be upfront about how it is going to provide value.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13541\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13541\" class=\"wp-image-13541 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Email-Mistakes-Image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Email Mistakes Image 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Email-Mistakes-Image-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Email-Mistakes-Image-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Hello Lightbulb on Unsplash<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forgetting to Include a Call-to-Action<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One major <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you could find yourself making is that there isn\u2019t a point behind your message. Sure, you are giving recipients some interesting content for them to engage with. But you should also have a goal that you would like to get out of sending the email. Note that an effective call-to-action (CTA) will focus on your customer\u2019s needs. Although you are the one offering the solution, don\u2019t make it about your product or service. Your CTA should also be displayed prominently. Put it in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/2022\/02\/designing-buttons-for-good-ux\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">colorful button<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a prime location of the message. Steer away from vague words. Instead, tell the subscriber exactly what clicking that button will do for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not Personalizing the Email<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/resources\/guides\/email-marketing-new-rules\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improve open rates by 26%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when you personalize your email subject lines? Consumers like when businesses tailor experiences to them. At the simplest level, you can automatically include the name of the recipient in the heading of the message. Otherwise, to be a cut above, you can achieve this through segmentation. This is the process of dividing your subscribers into smaller groups, based on certain criteria. There are many ways to go about this divide, but one of the most common is geography. If you have a special event happening in Austin, for instance, you don\u2019t want your subscribers from New York City to receive a message about it. The event is entirely irrelevant to them. Figure out what the best course of action will be for segmenting your email list so that you don\u2019t make the mistake of overcrowding subscribers\u2019 inboxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ignoring Your Mobile Recipients<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people who engage with your emails are going to do so through their smartphones. It\u2019s an easy way to access their inbox when they aren\u2019t at home. And, honestly, they may still use it to check their emails <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home. Mobile email traffic has been found to be more valuable than desktop traffic. The conversion rate is only growing. If you are sending a deal via email, a larger number of mobile consumers are going to be more likely to take you up on the offer than desktop users. This means that it would be a grave <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to not consider whether your design will stand up to mobile devices. You need to give subscribers a great experience, regardless of the device they are using. Formatting should be clean, and your text should be readable. Make sure to test your emails before they go out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overdoing the Images and Graphics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going simple with your email design is in your best interest. You don\u2019t want to overwhelm your reader with too many visuals. Now, that isn\u2019t to say that you shouldn\u2019t include visuals at all. Consumers love them. It isn\u2019t as interesting to receive an email that doesn\u2019t have any images or graphics. But you have to consider the recipients whose emails block this kind of content. If your message is mostly made up of visuals, you could miss out on customers who don\u2019t really get what you are trying to propose. They will just see empty boxes with alt-text (if you remember to write it). Essentially, be careful about how you use images and graphics in your email marketing. To ensure that every recipient is in the loop, all of your important messages need to be in plain text.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linking to the Wrong Places<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content-rich newsletters have a lot to offer your supporters. Those that haven\u2019t been keeping up with your blog lately can have direct access to the pieces that your team has found to be standouts. If you want recipients to check out one of your resources, you need to make sure that you are actually providing them with the correct link. Leading them to the wrong place is an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistake<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you definitely do not want to make. Subscribers who click on an incorrectly placed link may not bother with trying to find the intended resource. This means that you won\u2019t get the clicks that you actually want. Any images, graphics, videos, PDFs, or social media profiles that you incorporate should also come with links.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13543\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13543\" class=\"wp-image-13543 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Email-Mistakes-Image-3.jpg\" alt=\"Email Mistakes Image 3\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Email-Mistakes-Image-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Email-Mistakes-Image-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko on Pexels<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing with Unprofessional Practices<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your emails are a short space, so you need to get to the point. Don\u2019t drag on your message. If you are able to condense five sentences into one, then you should do it. At the end of the day, just like with blogging, you have to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/2022\/06\/content-writing-practices-that-you-need-to-avoid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worry more about quality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than quantity of words. Consumers aren\u2019t interested in opening their emails to a giant wall of text. There are some who will take the time to read it, of course, because they are your most loyal supporters. But the majority want to get in and out so that they can get to the next email. Keeping that in mind, if you want your newsletter or mass email to come across as professional, start with the formatting. Break everything up into sections so that the reader won\u2019t get confused. And always use language that any reader can understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not Telling People About Your Newsletter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing mistakes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you could make is dropping the ball on promotion. Just because you have a link on your website that says you have a newsletter doesn\u2019t mean people are going to see it or click it. Use other platforms to talk about what your newsletter is going to entail. How is it valuable to your followers? They should know if you run email-only deals or first looks at your offerings. Incentivize them to join your opt-in email list, and then make sure to carry through with your promises. It will be an ongoing campaign. Promotion isn\u2019t a one-and-done deal. By not continuing to let your growing audience know about your newsletter, your number of subscribers will stagnate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in seeing how WEBii handles email marketing?
