Successful email marketing stems from creative strategies and trial-and-error. However, many marketers tend to jump right into the fray and create sloppy campaigns. Uncoordinated emails can essentially lead to irreparable damage to a company’s image and sales. It’s a pitfall that can lead to unintended consequences for future business. Here are some common “no-no’s” that you should avoid during your marketing campaign.
Over Thinking Email Design
The creative process is understandably difficult, as you want your viewer to be intrigued by the email. However, it’s important that you don’t drag this period out as you’re just slowly chipping away at your potential return. eTargetMedia can help you solve your design issues with their specially-designed and easy-to-use design platform.
Toying With Emotion
Certain tragic events like the anniversary of 9/11 shouldn’t be used as a way to promote a product. No matter how sincere your intentions are, there will almost always be negative backlash. This may seem obvious to many, but you’d be surprised at the number of businesses that continue to offer tasteless promotions. And, with the heavy usage of social media, any negative publicity can become viral at any moment, taking away even your most loyal customers.
Actively Sending Emails
Frequenting emails may seem like a way for your customer base to be tuned in to your business’s current events, but, it can also be pretty “spammy” as well. Sending out a high volume of emails won’t increase your customer base. As a matter of fact, you might see more people unsubscribing because of this. Rather than unintentionally destroying your business, utilize the premiere email marketing platform that eTargetMedia has developed.
