Rule #1: Start with an email address

The first and most important rule of all when it comes to starting an effective email marketing campaign is to start with an email address. If you don’t have an email address, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity. An email list of subscribers is the foundation for an entire marketing strategy. You need to be able to send out emails to your list at the same time that you’re sending other emails to your other channels of communication. In order to do this, you’ll need an email address. That’s where a mailing list can help. A mailing list is a group of individuals that you’ve chosen to receive your emails. You can create a mailing list by either purchasing a domain name or by creating a list of subscribers on your computer.

Rule #2: Use a closed list of subscribers

After you have an email address, the next thing you need to do is create a closed list of subscribers. This is a subscription list that you’ve chosen to receive communications from. This list should include: - Your contact details - A description of who you are and what you do - A request for permission to send them updates and promotions - A request for information about products and services - A request for a free gift - An option to sign up for your newsletters automatically - An option to forward messages to another recipient - An option to block emails

Rule #3: Avoid sending out mass emails

One of the biggest mistakes new marketers make is sending out too many emails. This can lead to people unsubscribing from your list, lost leads, and even worse - a legal problem. For example, you might have a great product suggestion for one of your customers, but you send out too many emails until they decide to buy it. Then, you have no idea what happens to your customer’s orders. And, worst case scenario, they find out about your mistakes through a lawsuit. There’s no telling where that conversation will go, and it may lead to someone taking action. Even though it might make more sense to send more emails, you don’t need to send them all at once. Send one email at a time, and wait a day between each email to give yourself time to process and respond to each email.

Rule #4: Use relevant subject lines

Another thing you need to do is make your subject lines unique. You can do this by using words and phrases that are interesting to your audience, but that aren’t directly related to the content of your emails. For example, if you’re sending out an information-based email, but your subject line is “How to Increase conversions on your website?”, your audience will likely skip your email and go to a website instead. In order to capture their attention, you need to make your subject lines relevant to your audience.

Rule #5: Limit the number of emails sent per day or week

The final rule is to limit the number of emails sent per day or week. You’re trying to avoid having people sending too many emails, and you don’t want them replying to them all at once. In order to prevent this, it’s best to set a hard limit on the number of emails sent in a day or week. The number of emails you send should be based on how many people are on your list, whether they’re subscribed or not, and how often they’re likely to reply.

Conclusion

An effective email marketing campaign is just as important when you’re running a small business as it is when you’re running a large office. There are a variety of different email marketing services out there, and they each have their own unique set of features, tools, and services. But when it comes to actually running an effective marketing campaign, there are a few things that everyone has in common. An effective marketing campaign should: - Start with an email address - Use a closed list of subscribers - Avoid sending out mass emails - Use relevant subject lines - Limit the number of emails sent per day or week - Make sure that the emails you’re sending are relevant to your specific market If you follow these seven rules, you’ll see that an effective email marketing campaign can be done by anyone, regardless of skill level or experience.
