And email doesn’t just reach a lot of people; email reaches people effectively!

How?

When it comes to email marketing, sending emails is only step one. Careful planning and constant optimization is required to make your email messaging as successful as possible. Adding graphics and videos can increase both the open and click-through rate for your emails. You can also increase the chances of recipients opening the emails – and reduce getting your emails flagged as spam – by segmenting your recipients and using personalized subject lines and copy in the email body. Targeted emails are three times as likely to directly elicit action and gain revenue than generic marketing emails. And don’t forget to keep your emails mobile friendly – 49% of all emails sent are opened on a mobile device! If you’re looking for more information on how consumers interact with emails, check outthis infographic for user activity and ROI statistics.
