Email Marketing
Staying top of mind with your target audience is a really effective way to keep customers engaged. Providing valuable and entertaining content that doesn’t focus on a sales pitch or hard sell allows your brand to maintain a positive relationship with your customers.
Email marketing is best done when actively and regularly sending emails to customers that have willingly signed up. It’s best paired with content marketing so that there is a selection of content pieces to include in the email and avoid simply selling repeatedly to customers. According to Hubspot, email generates $42 for every $1 spent.
Email marketing is one of the best ways to keep customers moving along their first buying journey as well as engage existing customers to return. Having multiple touch points throughout the year that strike a supportive note with a soft-sell approach aids with this. These email recipients have already given “permission” to contact them, they are a great audience to have and should be respected.
What makes Luminus different?
We start with content. Content that’s rooted in strategy. We utilize our knowledge of your audience persona’s pain points and common scenarios and desire to curate and craft content that inspires and motivates the audience to act. We plan. Having a predetermined schedule paired with objectives helps coordinate a tactic like email marketing with its counterparts, content marketing and social media marketing. We understand what it takes to be successful, effort. Without content, email marketing is nothing more than pestering sales outreach, which is usually why it fails to deliver results.
How We Do It
We rely on our content marketing and design teams to pair the most relevant features with the needs of the audience. We track email activity so that there’s an actual sense of what this marketing effort is achieving for your business. Most importantly, we write emails that we would want to read.
Content Curation
Our team gathers relevant content from your brand’s content marketing assets as well as external industry outlets. Each content piece has a feature writeup and sometimes graphics that compliment it to motivate the reader to click and read the full piece. The content selected is dependent on current trends, recent news from the brand, or timely service/product updates.Email List Management
Email lists can be a very powerful tool to segment and target different types of customers in a personalized way. For example, a fashion company may have a general list with a women’s segment and men’s segment and each can have different approaches to content and design. Additionally, undeliverable addresses and inactive users should be regularly maintained to improve the performance of the email list as a while over time.Newsletter Management
Our team utilizes tools like MailChimp and Constant Contact to design and compile email layouts. Depending on which platform is used, the team will design graphics, colors, and module layouts that help the content flow and, in some cases, even respond differently to different screen sizes. Proofing the email and assigning its release date and time are the final steps to launch.Interested in having our agency help with your email marketing and distribution as part of a strategic marketing plan?
