Posted by pratik mache on February 17th, 2021

Emails are crucial part of modern communication! Emails have become an integral form of B2B and B2C communication today. Hence, apart from its usage for formal conversations, it is also used extensively for enhancing sales and leads through well designed and strategized email marketing campaigns.

What is email marketing?

Directed to increase reach, encourage communication and solicit business; email marketing is an outreach campaign or program set up by B2B companies for lead generation and also by B2C companies. The target audience is chosen depending upon their interest in your services and also based on their social media behaviour and digital footprints. Email marketing can also be extended towards current and past customers for retargeting purposes.

Tips to increase your email marketing success

Reach the right audience

Despite the famed success of email marketing campaigns, it is important to know that only those email marketing campaigns work that aim at the right audience. Sending your emails to a random cluster of recipients will certainly not work.

Thus, gathering data for your targeted audience, following their digital footprints to know their preferences and to communicate with them through smart messaging about how they can benefit from your services for enhanced sales is the core purpose of email marketing.

Decide which of your services will be more valuable to which audience. Do not generalize your messaging and try dividing the target audience based on the factors such as age, gender, preferences, location, and budget of the potential customers. Personalized communication is the key to successful email marketing.

Minimize the content

It is frustrating to receive an email from your favorite brand that you might have genuinely liked, only to discover that the content is too lengthy for a quick-read! With very little attention span of the readers today, short and concise content is preferred over time consuming email content. So, if you plan to launch an email campaign, especially for B2B lead generation, make it relevant, to-the-point and covering the right deals you want to offer, all with the aim of engaging the prospect.

Include the core services or products and its benefits that are aligned with what your prospect might be looking for. Refrain from long sentences, paragraphs and add the right CTA and links to your website to engage them further.

Personalization is the key

Anticipating the fact that your customer might already be receiving thousands of e-mailers even from your competitors, it becomes even more important that your email stands out in the crowd. To create a lasting impression that would guarantee a visit to your website, customize your emails by directly calling your recipients by their name in the subject line and in the main body text too.

Simplicity for the win

Flashy email messages with added stickers, graphics, gifs, and fonts may actually distract the reader from the important messaging. A plethora of colors and pictures will only overwhelm your potential customer.

Be formal and straightforward in your presentation, and add only that which that needs to grab the attention of the prospect- relevant content!  

A carefully executed email marketing campaign is bound to multiply your sales to a great extent. You only need to be mindful of the type of content being used to create the messaging and its presentation. Once you send it out to the right audience, your email marketing campaign can increase the leads and convert them quickly.
