Make Your Email Marketing Personalized

How many emails have you gotten that you delete because you feel like they're not talking to you? I can assure you that I have an email trash bin with a lineup of them. Email marketing should feel like you're favorite co-worker emailing you. Your audience should be scrambling to open the email and read away. How do you make this happen? You make it personal. Not only getting to the heart of what your audience wants to hear, how they like to be talked to, and topics they are dying to hear about, but also ensuring that you are segmenting your audiences and creating funnels that match the stage of their buyer's journey they are in and what they are experiencing.

Subject Lines that Attract

Your subject line is like window shopping, if they hate what's in the window, they aren't coming in. Your subject line should pull them in, preview the content, and stand out from anything else in their inbox.

Listen to your Analytics

You should continuously monitor your analytics for your email campaigns and subscriber activity. Watch which topics, subject lines, and forms are bringing the most traction and capitalize more on this. You can also see what your audience isn't interested in and where you can improve moving forward to continue to create an email list that your subscribers want to open each week.


Building Intentional Email Funnels + Sequences

As we mentioned above, funnels and sequences can create a personalized experience for your audience and create a journey for them through purchasing your offer. Effective email marketing isn’t just about sending one-off newsletters. Intentional email funnels and sequences are a structured series of emails designed to guide your subscribers through specific stages of the customer journey, from awareness and consideration to conversion and loyalty.
