Before a company send out its first email marketing campaign, they need to identify their targeted customers, as well as the type of messages that has the highest possibility to resonate with them.

A company by having a good understanding of their target audience’s requirements and preferences will be capable of generating content that will result into increased demand for their products. Something that enables the company to convert prospects into customers.

This can be done by communicating with a sample of them through Social Media.

What a company expects their targeted audience to do once they have opened their emails? They want them to sign up for their newsletter or are they offering a gift in exchange for registering to one of their services?

A company’s call-to-action should not be more than two sentences in length, and it should provide a clear explanation of what the next step might be. Most of the times the call-to-action is placed at the bottom of the email and as a result, it is really important not to clutter the rest of the email with content that will distract the readers from the call-to-action.

The subject line should not be salesy, and it should be free of exclamation marks and capital letters.
