TOP 10 MISTAKES & WAYS TO AVOID THEM
1. NOT ASKING FOR PERMISSION
1. Ask for permission and state the purpose clearly 2. Use additional check-box 3. Send a confirmation email 4. Offer a preference center
Best practices
2. SENDING TOO MANY EMAILS
1. Use segmentation from the start 2. Have an onboarding campaign with relevant and useful
information 3. Suspend promotional emails 4. Control what messages are being sent
Best practices
3. SENDING NO EMAILS
All subscribers
New subscribers
Open Rate CTR
Why bother?
4. NOT TELLING THE TRUTH
Sign up forms, light boxes, etc.
Translation: Would you like to unsubscribe?
:( Yes, but not yet. Perhaps sometime soon there will be an offer I’ll want to try :) After weighing the pros and cons I want to do it
Be crystal clear about:
• what you are offering and selling • who is going to be contacting the subscribers • what are the conditions for using the coupon/taking part
in the competition, etc. • when can one opt out • is it really for free?
Best practices
5. OVERPROMISING
1. Exceed expectations 2. Underpromise 3. Provide great content, service and product 4. Be real and use social proof
Best practices
1. Dog food replenishment reminders 2. Additional info/summary of what you need for your trip 3. Workout/car check-up reminder 4. Offer based on weather conditions or location
Some ideas
6. ASKING TOO MANY QUESTIONS
