Email Pro

When composing email-messages, you need to keep in mind some points to make your emails look more professional.

- Who are you?

You need to identify yourself in your email address so people will be less reluctant to open your email. Use emails that shouts your identity e.g. sales@yourcompany.com. Such emails can be created very easily as most hosting plans give you free emails under your website URL.

The next factor that you should pay attention to is your subject line. Your subject must have the power to make people interested in your email. As a rule, keep it under 50 words.

- Body

Quickly identify yourself and the purpose of the message. It will be better if you state who referred you to them. Restrict the use of fancy pictures, keep it business like, or make it in line with the style of your website.

Increase The Effectiveness of Your Email

By increasing your Email conversion rates, you will get more traffic into your website, thus increasing your ROE (returns on efforts) for writing the emails. To increase your email conversion rates, you should follow our 6 rules to emailing success;

- Brand

You need to brand yourself or the company in order to make people remember you. Good examples of branding are; The Rich Jerk, Success University, and many more. Stick with the brand image you created, and use it consistently in every email you send out. Put your Brand in the subject line, so people can recognize you instantly.

- Honesty

To further entice them to read our email, you can also give them some benefite to do so. Everybody likes free stuffs. Include a gift in your subject line to entice them to open the email. Some examples are; Get your free E-Book, Redeem your free trial, etc...

- Know your limits

In your main body, you can use bolds, colors, and capital letters to emphasize the benefits of your product / service. But bear in mind not to over do it. Using too much bolds, capital letters and colors will not only confuse your readers, it will also piss people and spiders off. Spiders may filter your email and classify it as SPAM.

- K.I.S.S Keep It Short and Sweet.

Don't try to put in tonnes of information and updates in one email. Keep it short and sweet, focusing on the main points only. Practice your own discretion when writing emails to your audience and purpose of message.

*P.S. It is compulsory (legal requirement) for you to include an "unsubscribe tab" in your emails to reduce SPAM
