Types

Email marketing remains one of the strongest marketing and communications channel even after being around for nearly four decades. Some of the most important types of marketing emails that every business manager needs to schedule and send regularly or periodically depending on the type of the email are as follows:

Welcome email: When a prospect or lead that you have been tracking and engaging, through some other channel, decides to take a favorable action like subscribing for your newsletter or making an online transaction, you need to welcome him onboard and ensure that he feels wanted.
New content update email: One of the most important types of emails is the one through which you notify availability of a new blog post, a new article, newsletter and encourage your prospects/ customers to view them and read them. It requires a lot of research as it won’t work without personalization. Also, offer him an option to unsubscribe from the newsletter or the notification emails.
New product or service updates related email: Whether you have an old customer on your CRM software or you are introducing your services for the first time to a new lead, you will have to periodically send them updates regarding your products or services. But don’t send these too frequently as these are often highly technical and not very interesting. Rather send a roundup or summary of a few updates.

Invitations for registration to an event: Whether it is a seminar, a webinar, a trade show or some other event, invite people to register for it. Many take active interest in these events and can help to create a stronger bond. Instead of sending it to all, you can also send it to a small, dedicated group of people.
Birthday/ anniversary emails: Marketers need to understand the importance of sending emails on special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries to their clients and prospects in order to make feel special. You should not only wish them but offer them personalized, time-bound offers. E.g., offer a special deal or discount offer and set a deadline to complete the transaction or offer an online voucher and set an expiry date.
Confirmation emails: If your website allows clients to make purchases, you need to immediately send a confirmation email after the transaction. This helps to build confidence in the business. Also, you can send emails like shopping cart abandonment emails that remind the customer or prospect to come back and complete the abandoned action. Sending emails that encourage cross-selling and up-selling may also be looked at, depending on the nature of your business.

Conversion Strategy

No email campaign will work if you don’t have a well-defined conversion strategy. A conversion strategy maximizes your chances of monetizing your efforts because it takes into account the purchasing history, preferences, and uses analytics to make forecasts about a customer’s likely actions, etc. Basically it helps personalize your targeted email campaigns and increases chances of a favorable response from the customer.

Some of the important conversion strategies are as follows:

Personalize your emails for the customer. Use relevant data collected from every touchdown to create the best offers possible for the customer.
Make clear offers and make them compelling. Use strong, graphically attractive CTAs depending on the preferences and habits of the customers.
Know the best time for sending the emails. Send them when they are available to read them. Follow the patterns of the click through rates and modify your email schedules accordingly.
Test your emails multiple times. Test the format, design, copy, CTAs, pictures and every aspect of your emails multiple times. Think in the context of individuals or small homogenous groups when creating your emails. The same thing may not work for everyone.

Email list management

Internet Marketing Email list management often remains an ignored aspect of email marketing. With great focus on acquisition, activity tracking and deciding the correct creative, marketers often forget the importance of pruning the email list, checking whether the emails ids still work, have options for opt-ins, unsubscribing, re-opt-ins and checking the bounce rate, etc.

Also segmentation of your list based on different parameters like demographics like geographic regions, income levels, age, gender, education level, etc. as well as based on behavioral traits of customers and their psychological makeup and why they act in certain ways- all need to be analyzed.

Factors

Unsubscribe: You need to incorporate a clear option to unsubscribe in your marketing emails. If someone is not interested, you can’t force them to engage. If you push too hard, they might list your emails as spams. It will be counterproductive. However, if you have multiple email lists give them the option to unsubscribe from one service or notification or everything at one go. An engaging unsubscribing page on your website should be designed to recapture and reengage the attention of the customer.

Bounce rate of emails: If your website has an email subscription form, you need to use a good email script that can verify the validity of the address at the time of signup. The script should check the format of the address, look for some words in the id that can throw up red flags and it is also a good option to send a confirmation email before adding the customer to the CRM. Having a high bounce rate or failure to deliver the email or having a very low CTR is never acceptable. You will also need to prune the list and keep it small. Send regular emails to those who show interest in the emails and the notifications. By removing those addresses which are not genuine, are deactivated, are not used regularly or doesn’t evoke a response, will save you money.

Segmentation: It is an important marketing best practice that has still not caught on completely. You need to understand that all your buyers and targets aren’t the same and they don’t always have the same needs. Even if they want to buy the same object, they might have completely unrelated and different reasons for buying it and a solution that solves their particular problem needs to be highlighted when sending them an email. Highlight the aspects of an offer based on your past experience with the buyer that will compel them to engage and take a favorable action.

Globibo Media can help you with this process. We have designed an email list management software program that allows us to manage the list of the addresses in your CRM depending on your specific needs and the specific demands of your industry. This means you will have a small but efficient list of addresses that can be used to improve the conversion rate.

Translation & Localization

Email translations are simple word to word (literal) translations of email contents into multiple languages, in context. It is relatively easy to manage but sometimes the clarity and intention of the email may be lost in the translation.

Email localization refers to adoption of content for local consumption, not only by translating the language of the copy used in the email but also making the whole email culturally sensitive and relevant. Here, the ethnicity, nationality, religion, etc. of the recipient will have to be considered before an email is delivered.

Translation and localization tools can help you to segment your content based on languages and regions. Although some challenges are unique to a region, language and culture, there are some common challenges, which don’t need to be addressed individually.

At Globibo Media, we understand the need for internationalizing your product and services and the high returns on localization of emails.
