Email Marketing. Easy to do. Hard to do well.
There are many tools available that make it easy to throw together an email and send it out at very little cost, but doing it that way is a missed opportunity and runs the risk of damaging your relationship with your valuable list of subscribers.
Often, a lack of time or limited in-house resources means that optimising emails, link-checking, A/B testing and subsequent analytics do not happen. In a busy working day, when there are so many demands on your time, simply getting the email sent out is an achievement.
However, each time you send an email ‘blast’ without reflecting and learning, you are weakening your relationship with your subscribers. Every email is a great opportunity to develop a good relationship with your audience and to prove once again that what you have to say is relevant to their lives.
Your email list should be considered less as a tool than an asset. For someone to subscribe to your list is a compliment to you; and every time they open one of your emails it is an even bigger compliment. Don’t abuse their faith but develop it. For you, a list of subscribers is a fantastic resource; it is simply foolish to neglect or misuse it.
Envoy can help you grow your email list and make the most of this asset.
