Email Marketing For Your Business

Written by Julia Gulevich. Posted in Blog, Email Marketing Software

In an age when customer engagement is considered a premier asset, every company needs a way to communicate frequently with current and potential clients.

The best approach to continuing dialogue with customers is email marketing. It remains the least expensive and most effective way for businesses to reach customers.

If you have never conducted an email campaign, you have every reason to start with your first campaign right away.

Email marketing allows you to speak directly to your customers, share important knowledge and present desirable content and offers.

Here are seven reasons you should start emailing today:

Monitoring Your Email Marketing Campaign

Written by Julia Gulevich. Posted in Blog, Email Marketing Software

Every email campaign requires real-time, follow-up analytics that can offer important data regarding just how well your messaging is working, or determine of the messages are missing the mark.

Without data, you know very little about which subject lines found an audience, the demographics of open rates, the users' predilection for forwarding your emails and other key metrics.

A good analytical package offers you in-depth data on your email marketing program, providing you with crucial insights into your customer base and showing you whether your offers have earned any traction. In email marketing, analytics are not something you might need; they are something you have to have.

A good design can greatly improve the open rates of your email blast. And while a great subject line gets you halfway there, a clean, colorful, enchanting design can move the needle toward potential sales.

When designing email marketing pitches today, a company can't just consider how it will look on a computer screen. More than 40 percent of Americans – likely more in other countries – use smartphones as their primary device for opening emails.

Marketing emails must now be "responsive," meaning simply that emails must automatically adjust to whatever platform the viewer uses. An email built in a responsive platform will look the same overall, but its size and dimensions will change slightly based on a viewer's screen size.

10 Easy Ways to Improve Your Email Open and Click Rate

All the marketing talk these days is about social media. Of course, social media is a powerful tool, it’s great for people engagement but it's not the best way to drive sales. The research shows that an old good email newsletter is still far more effective than social media in attracting customers to your products or services online.

Email is effective because it’s permission-based. People on your list have given you the permission to send them email messages. And, with the popularity of smartphones and tablets, they're always online. Email is the number two activity for people on their phones. What's more, customers who come to businesses via email tend to shop more and spend more.

How to Save Money and Speed up Message Sending with G-Lock EasyMail7

Written by Julia Gulevich. Posted in Blog, Email Marketing Software

Sometimes our customers complain about slow message sending with G-Lock EasyMail7. We investigate the issue and often discover that the problem is in a big message size and slow Internet connection the user has.

In most cases the big message size is caused by images used in the message. If the message has several images with a big size, so you can expect your message will "weight" much.

The solution is to optimize the images and upload them to your web server.

I did a case study to demonstrate you how the optimization of the images and uploading them to a web server helps decrease the message size in almost 10 times, and consequently, speed up the message sending and save you money for data traffic if you are sending through a paid SMTP server like Amazon SES.

Read about my case study below.
