Campaign Planning
Planning any campaign is vitally important and should be done well in advance of your send date.
Identify the target audience and understand their needs. Different audiences have different requirements and one email creative may not be suitable for all, identify what the main aim of your email campaign is.
Always be relevant; use the information you have collected about your customers to send them targeted, relevant messages. The better the targeting the more likely you will be successful.
We conduct all aspects of the campaign for you - from selection, to creative design, broadcasting and reporting.

Design
It is very important when designing your email campaign creative that you follow best practice, failure to do so can seriously harm the effectiveness of your campaign and ROI, damaging your brand in the process.
Do you know the best position for your company logo? Where the prime 'reading space' is? How long the message should be? Why you should always have Mirror and Unsubscribe links?
If you are unsure of these requirements then our design team can produce a creative that conforms to best practice standards.

Deliverability
Putting a great email campaign together only has value if it reaches its target.
We rigorously test each campaign to ensure it reaches potential customers exactly as it was intended to, and because first impressions count, anything other than a success might put them off doing business with you.
However targeted your message and attractive your creative, your email can only be successful if you have an up to date, accurate opt-in data list, to send your campaign to.
A high bounceback or unsubscribe rate are indicators that your data list is not as healthy or responsive as it should be. Our experience will help you manage and improve the quality of your customer data.

Reporting and Analysis
It is very important to make sure that you are monitoring key email marketing metrics such as;
The number of emails delivered (delivery rate).
The number of emails opened (open rate).
The number of click-throughs generated (click-through rate).
Ideally, each time you send an email, you want to increase the number of people who open and act on it. Analysing your campaign results will help you do this. For a simple solution, our Email Marketing service can send out and track all your email campaigns for you.
