If you really want to convert your subscriptions into actual sales, it is highly recommended to take only voluntary subscriptions or let users decide by their own choice. Do not push them to subscribe your email at any point.
It’s the way to build a relationship with your customers before even it starts taking shape. Actually, getting subscriptions are just like selling your product or service, you first have to show the importance of whatever you are selling to them and then, let them decide if it is useful to them or might be useful in near future. If your product or service somehow tempted them, they will definitely hit the subscribe button. Else, don’t worry they weren’t your audience, try on others.
Affix an Unsubscribe Button at the bottom of every email you send (Unsubscriber button is recommended in header part as well).
This is the best way to generate trust with your targeted audience before they become your customers. Providing an unsubscribe option, gives the user a safe feeling.
However, you might loose a number of users, but over the short-term, using this exercise you will connect with the long-term subscriptions, and they will definitely be your sales-lead one day.
If users know that they can opt out whenever they wish, generally they do not press the red button until they lost their interest in your product or service.
This is how you can be good with your customers and show them how much you care about them; send them personalised emails.
Whenever you shoot an email to your customers, greet them by their first names. It gives them more friendly attention. If you don’t have their names, keep your email’s tone in a general way.
On the other hand, you can also send them more related results about their interest in your service or product.
Never forget your customers no matter how old they are OR do not let them feel so. In the race of getting new customers, we often underestimate the old ones, but don’t forget as much as they get older in your list, the stronger relation you will have.

Work is enough for working days, holidays are for chilling and relaxing!! Of course for you as well.
Prepare everything in advance, so that you would not miss any chance to promote your products or services on the off days as well as enjoy the holidays yourself.
For such special days, send the day-specific emails. It works in both ways; first, it shows to your customers that you remembered them on the holidays too. And on the other hand, it could be your sale-generating email as people often prefer to buy products on the especial occasions.
Whenever I see the word ‘Sale’, it tempts me to go to the next step. If you are selling your goods or services on heavy discount, tell your audience that you are offering a great loot on the complete range. Shoot the emails carrying the term ‘sale’ in the subject-line.
If you have a new or fresh launch/collection or it is about to come to your shop, alert your customers in advance via emails and also offer them the opportunity for pre-orders. Tell them to be the first to get hands on the newest products, also feature your collection in the mail.

Thus, a long chain of your customers will continue to form.
