Email marketing is gaining popularity among businesses for many good reasons like effective reach to target customers, low marketing cost etc.
 

While it has become one of the best sources of lead generation and earning profits in the market, there is more that you can do with email marketing. You can easily double your profits by adopting a few simple practices that will take your email marketing to unparalleled levels
 

Most of the businesses are less willing to send emails frequently to their customers as they are afraid that their subscribers would opt out of their list. But it is the opposite when it comes to customers.
 

The inboxes of your customers are getting bombarded with numerous emails everyday from everywhere around the world. So you can’t just sit and let others take away your customer’s precious attention. You have to speak up and reach out to your customers more frequently.
 

In other words, you have to email your customers or invaluable subscribers more often. You might ask at this point, that how frequently should you email your customers?
 

Though it mostly depends on your business and type of content you want to provide your customers, you can email them whenever necessary. The point is to condition them to open your email at regular intervals so that they begin to respond and convert easily. So if you email them every week, make sure you do not miss it.
 

Gone are the days when customers used to open all emails that landed in their inboxes. With the number of emails increasing day by day in the inbox of customers, it has been observed that the email open rates are falling rapidly.
 

Thus, you have to work harder to get people to open your marketing emails. One of the best ways to do this is to create an unconventional and eye catchy headline.
 

For example, if everyone among your competitors is using longer subject lines, you can be a game changer and catch your customer’s attention by using a shorter headline.
 

Take use of more imagination while creating a subject line, as these are the ones that represent your email. Your customer will decide from the subject line whether to open your email or not. Short and quirky subject lines are easier to read and grasp the customer’s curiosity to know what is further written in your email.
 

Also remember that 55 percent of all emails are now opened on mobile devices, where there is a limited area for words, as the average mobile screen can fit only fewer words.
 

Market research suggests that keeping the subject lines 1-2 words long and less than 50 characters is good for catching instant customer attention.

Personalized emails can bring you 6 times more revenue than non-personalized emails. The higher level of personalization you use, the more you lift up your emails. It also makes the customer feel a sense of comfort and familiarity when opening up about their desires and expectations with your business.
 

Consider the email example from Spotify. The email seems particularly effective because it captures personalization in its emails and makes the recipient feel that they are being rewarded for their usage.
 

Another way to personalize your emails is to use phrases like ‘top listener’ ‘be the first one to get access’ as it provides a sense of exclusivity to the customer, making them feel important.

Consider it a key to double your revenues. Short and informative emails easily draw customer’s attention towards the call to action button. Ideally, emails should not be longer than a few sentences. You can jot down the important message as bullet points in your emails.
 

For example, if your email is about your product, you can mention the advantages of your products in bullet points. The idea is to keep the eyes of the customer moving throughout your email. And then, it is important to mention one ultimate call of action button so that the customer knows what to do next.
