What Is Email Marketing?

Email marketing is the act of promoting a product, selling a service, telling a story, or connecting with an audience through email. A marketing email is a one-to-many communication from an organization to a mailing list of customers and prospects. Email marketing can be a very cost effective way to reach, engage, and retain your customers. Of course, that requires that you send the right email to the right people at the right time. Working with email marketing services can help you send email campaigns that are effective and ensure successful email delivery.

Types of Email Marketing

Some of the most common forms of email marketing include newsletters, blog emails, nurture emails, retention emails, and promotional emails with special offers. Marketing is all about getting people to know and trust your brand, and email is one of the most effective ways to do that. Mailgun’s suite of solutions is designed to help large and small businesses optimize their email marketing automation with deliverability tools and reputation-focused products.

Strategies for Your Marketing Emails

Improving your email marketing campaigns involves many moving parts including reliable email list management, robust deliverability practices, and of course, the responsive email design and content itself. Once you’ve sent a message, you can track performance and apply learnings from analytics going forward.

Here are some of the key strategies that email marketing services can help embrace:

PERSONALIZE AND SEGMENT

The best email marketing is targeted and personalized.

Sending the same email to your entire list is not going to have great results, just like posting the same message to all your social media channels isn’t the most effective practice. Ideally, the content should be tailored and segmented based on where your users are in the sales funnel, how they’ve engaged with your company, and the preferences they select on your email signup forms. Mailgun’s email marketing software includes a number of recipient variables that you can integrate into your email templates to achieve a highly personalized experience for your recipients.

A/B TESTING

A/B testing helps you discover what resonates with your audience.

If you’re not sure how to get recipients to click through to your landing pages, testing can help. For instance, you can try different subject lines or two different email templates. When A/B testing, Mailgun’s email service uses tagging and tracking to compare different versions of your email campaigns so you can see which has the best email marketing result.

Optimal Send Times

Get the timing and frequency right. It’s a delicate balance between trying to stay on your audience’s radar and bombarding them with too much email marketing. Mailgun’s email analytics can help you find patterns when it comes to opens and clicks so you can determine the optimal day, time, and frequency for your messaging.

LEAD WITH CONTENT

Put yourself in your reader’s shoes.

All sorts of email marketing messages are clogging up inboxes. To improve your open rates, you must be strategic and make your recipients want to open your email marketing messages. For instance, email newsletters that are chock full of helpful tips and resources might be more effective for your audience than sales promos. Once you’ve earned trust and a captive audience, recipients may be more inclined to open up emails that are more promotional in nature.
