Email Marketing Tips

How to run a successful email marketing campaign

Keep your customers happy

• Allow convenient ways for customers to unsubscribe.
• Avoid long-winded registration forms. Instead use a simple sign-up form where customers only have to supply an email address.
• Customise content as much as possible.
• Deliver something special in your email. Offer exclusive deals and great offers in emails, not just an ad for your company.
