It may feel as though email has gone out of style. With all the different ways people communicate these days, an email may come across as a bit old fashioned. Like it or not, email is here to stay, and your business needs a complete email marketing strategy.

Create a results-driven campaign

Before you send that first email, you need to make sure your campaign has everything it needs. A strategic email campaign is one that takes your current audience's needs and desires into consideration.
As you plan your monthly, S.M.A.R.T. goals, see what information is applicable to your email campaign. For example, if improving lead generation is one of your goals, consider including an e-book or a giveaway into your campaign. These are called lead targets, and they go a long way in audience retention and trust.
The steps for an email marketing campaign generally include:

• Setting measurable goals
• Drafting template and copy for duration of campaign
• Sending first email and monitoring results
• Measuring results and changing strategy as needed

Select an email template and write engaging copy

This may sound like a no-brainer, but it's important to keep your audience's reading experience in mind. Email marketing strategies like great copy can go a long way! Users aren't going to read through a sloppy email with bad design and poorly written copy. You also want to make sure that your email campaign is mobile friendly given users are more likely to first encounter your email through their mobile device. 

Review and Comply with Email Regulations

Before you click send, be sure to review the terms and conditions of your automation platform. If you don't, you run the risk of your email landing in someone's spam folder instead of their promotions or direct inbox.

Don't let all of your hard work go to waste! Double checking the rules and regulations can save you many frustrations down the road.

Be Creative and Professional

Email marketing allows you to communicate with your audience in your brand and/or founder's unique voice. However, you want to make sure that your catchy subjects, headlines, etc. are still professional.
Stay away from sarcasm, colorful language, or an excess of personal information. This will alienate your readers and paint your business in a negative light. Be sure to limit the number of email blasts you send out as well.  The last thing you want to lose is a subscriber!

Build a Community

Users want to know that they are apart of something special. Make them feel included by offering promotions, subscriber's only discounts, testimonials, etc. You can also include funny but professional anecdotes that relate to your business. This helps with transparency and makes your audience feel included.
