5 Powerful Tips to Skyrocket Your Opt in Email Campaign

By Asem Eltaher

No one can deny that email marketing is one of the most robust marketing strategies that can bring your online business to the next level in the hope that it is properly used. On the other hand, the miss use of this strategy can destroy your name and eliminate it from the online marketing field. Here are my lessons learned for you.

Successful opt in email campaign results from the following points:

1. A common mistake among the beginners in online business is to miss design their sign up form on their home page. It should be in a visible place and have a comfortable style in the sense of the text and colors. Never annoy your visitors with pop up messages asking them quite often to subscribe as this would destroy your credibility.

2. It is a good idea to spread out the existence of your mailing list through your daily business emails telling them gently about your new list. Do not forget to add a URL to this link at the end of your email so that it would be much easier for them to land directly at your sign up form.

3. You need to set up a legal opt in email campaign. In other words, the last thing we have to want is to be accused of being a scammer. Therefore, make it clear for your visitors that they would be registered in your list if you sign up with their contact details.

4. Be clear on how people can benefit from subscribing in your mailing list and how often will you contact them. Make them know exactly what they will be receiving from your email services.

5. Your management system must contact a new subscriber in your email marketing list as soon as possible. Welcome them with notes and tell them what to expect.

To target a wise opt-in email campaign, avoid the following mistakes:

1. In case that somebody wrote you an email asking about something, never add his email address automatically to your mailing list. This would be understood as miss use of the data unless you ask for his/her permission first to guarantee legal web marketing.

2. Purchase lists that you are not 100% sure that are opt-in. Otherwise, do not mail them until you are sure that they are ready to be mailed and permitted that.

3. Your email campaign will face a definite failure if you miss use the trust of your contacts. Before sending out an email, think if it fits to the deal behind your list. This is simply means that spamming or overloading your list with non worthy emails trying just to win money from them is the last thing you need to do. - 20767
