Email marketing best practices to improve results

Email marketing continues to be a favoured marketing technique, offering a strong return on investment. In fact, 76% of UK businesses describe email marketing as important or “very” important.

Here are a few tips to make sure that you get the most out of email marketing. 

1. Personalise emails whenever possible. Some ideas include matching previously bought items and using the reader’s first name. 
2. Optimise your subject line for conversions. Depending on the brand, you can make the subject line quirky, urgent or serious and prompt the reader to open the message.
3. Be consistent in branding. Each email campaign should use similar imagery and maintain a high standard that becomes synonymous with the business. 
4. Check readability with testing. Make sure that you test that the dimensions are correct, the mail renders properly and that there is an option to open in a browser. Doing so will make your email campaign accessible to more people. 
5. Create a strategic schedule. There’s a fine line between spamming your customers and offering meaningful information and content. Be strategic with your timeline and give your readers a reason to open the mail.
6. Always remember to follow GDPR guidelines when it comes to such communication!

While the business landscape has shifted to being online, the need for office space isn’t as important. In fact, several businesses use self storage as a solution for space. This week, we profiled three business tenants with Storage King.
