    5 Must-Use Email Marketing Tips of 2021 

    • Building the Right Email List

    Segregation of your audience and grouping them into the right email lists is very crucial and is the first step of any email marketing strategy. Thus, you need to get it right. If anything gets messed here, you can lose out on potential results. 

    Go as niche as possible. Try having different messages for small groups of audiences. This may look like too many communication messages but trust this, the more personalized and targeted you are, the better results. So club the similar kind of people and only then send out the messages.

    • Follow-Up Emails

    You might have sent the right message to the right audience but yet noticed that only a few people ended up replying back to your mail. Don’t worry. Send in that follow-up mail. No, it’s not going to look pushy. 

    Most of the time when you send a follow-up mail, it acts as a reminder for all those who genuinely missed out on your mail, and for the ones who skipped it on purpose now feel obligated to respond back to you. 

    • Use Mail Tracker 

    This tool is like a god-sent gift. Right from telling you if the mail was delivered, to the recipient opening it and clicking on any links present in the mail, gives you all these details. This helps you track your open rate, reply rate, bounce rate, etc. 

    Why is it important? Data always help you plan your future campaigns and avoid and recurring mistakes that you’ve been making. It basically prevents you from making efforts in the blind spots. 

    • Choose the Right Time

    Do you think sending in an email at 2 am in the night makes sense? Of course not. We’re all aware of how we shouldn’t send emails at odd or inappropriate times. But that’s not enough. It is equally important to send your emails at the right time. 

    If your audience is corporate professionals, sending them between 9-11 am is a good choice as mostly everyone checks them first thing in the office. Similarly, if your audience is college students, you should try sending it after 8 pm since that’s the most active hours on their phones. 

    Like this, you must logically find out the right time for your target audience and send emails accordingly. 

    • Ace your subject lines

    The majority of recipients decide to open an email based on the subject line. So a subject line can make or break your game. How can you ace them? The mantra is “Less is More”. Write lesser words, personalize it to the T, and using emojis can act as a bonus. 

    Optimize them for mobile phones as that’s the primary source of checking emails today. Make sure the entire subject line is visible from their notification bar. 

    Keep it catchy, quirky, and click-worthy. 

    To Conclude, 

    Getting your email marketing campaigns right is not that difficult how the industry has made it look. It’s all about paying attention to the small details and making sure your basics are right. 

    Along with that, it is important you track and analyze each campaign. If you don’t unlearn your wrong moves and add the tricks that worked you, you’re going to stand in the same place all your life. 

    Constantly update yourself, train in copywriting, conduct trial and errors for different ideas, do A/B testing for things you’re not sure about, etc.
