A Call to Action

An attention-grabbing headline, a personalized greeting, and a concise message. These three elements of a campaign draw the recipient in, but they still need to be "hooked." Your call to action should incite a potential customer or client to move swiftly – be it a limited time offer, a reward, or another compelling offer. This is your first impression – make it a good one!

Test Your Emails

The only way to truly know the effectiveness of your email campaigns is through testing. One of the most effective methods is the A/B Test, which allows the marketer to compare analytics between the original email deployed to half of your list (A), and a slightly altered email sent to the other half (B). The response rates for the two emails will guide you in your strategy.
