"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy."
("All You Need is Love" - The Beatles)

Email Marketing campaigns are far from bulletproof.  There are not 100% effective and rely more on the advertising premise than mere distribution.  A fancy, well done template can help you get your message through, but you're on your copywriter's hands now.
That's when the fun begins.  For your competitors, at least...

I know it, you know it, and we all know it:  email campaigns are a quick way to reach loads of potential customers.  It increases your chances of closing deals, making conversions and building up a worthy database.  Statistics broaden possibilities but, just between you and me...

... The size (of your campaign) doesn’t matter if you're just bragging and your mouth fails to be where your money is.

Posted by Carlos

email marketing errors The launch of an email-based marketing campaign should be easy, right?  It's cost-effective, it can get you quick results and help you reach millions of  new customers with just one click... right?  Just tell them what to do, where to find you and your selling rates will hit the roof in no time... right?

Reality check:  ANY kind of marketing campaign requires thoughtful planning.  The Internet does not operate on magic.  it would be nice if emails were brought to us by pixies.  Much to our dismay, there is a logic to it and marketing experts are always trying to break its code.  Sorry, there's no magic in email marketing.

Unfortunately, some people still believe in fairies, pixies and such. Not exactly the best outsorcers for a marketing campaign... More...

An Effective Way to Get Your Emails Read: Content Value

Posted by Carlos

email template marketingAn email marketing plan cannot only rely on pretty templates.  Granted: a solid email template design can get you read.  But you have to ask yourself:  what do you want your potential customers to read?  As we get closer and closer to the future, we rely on emails heavily.  We communicate with others through them in the same way others used to depend on traditional mail.

Well… there are a few aspects that are different.

We use e-mails frantically.  Free server-based emails are probably one of the most abused forms of communication in the history of human kind.  When we think of the past, we think of handwritten letters, sent to a loving family, travelling across roads and even through oceans to reach those who patiently waited for days and months to get news.  Or maybe we think of short telegrams that delivered entire messages in whatever words someone could afford to pay.
