Cold Emailing: The Secret to More Customers and Increased Sales

If you're tired of spending all your money on marketing without seeing any ROI, why don't you borrow a page from the ancient merchants who lived off trading without having access to paid ads, social media, or even a billboard? Instead… they sent out letters far and wide, across the deserts and the seas, looking for new trading partners from other kingdoms and empires—people who didn't know anything about those merchants or what they did. In other words, a cold market.

Luckily, you don't need to send your sales letter off on a ship or a camel. Hundreds, if not thousands, of prospects are a few clicks away, and you can reach them by sending One. Simple. Message.?

Cold marketing is reaching out to prospects who know nothing about your business. They don't have to be in Timbuktu; they just have to fit your ideal customer avatar.

Sending cold emails is a direct way to reach anyone who could be interested in your offer. Plus, you can track how well your message is doing with specialized software. But the real question is, how do you make cold emails a part of your digital marketing strategy? It's all about crafting a message that catches their attention without being too pushy or intrusive. But before we dive into that, you must understand WHY cold emailing is so powerful in the first place.

Why Cold Email Marketing

Cold email is way more powerful than other types of marketing for a bunch of reasons. For one, it's usually cost-effective, so if you're worried about budget, cold emailing will help you generate leads for cheaper. Plus, with the help of software, you can set up automated sequences that streamline the whole process.

Forget about generic sales pitches—with cold emails, you can tailor your message specifically for each prospect. Studies show that personalized email marketing generates a median of 122% ROI and it has 6X higher transactional rates than non-personalized emails…which makes personalization an incredibly powerful tool you can’t forgo.?

Another big perk of cold emails is how quickly they reach thousands of people across the globe. There’s no need to wait anxiously—you could be getting conversations within minutes.

With email automation, you can automate the entire workflow, from drafting emails to segmenting the prospects lists. You don’t have to manually reach out every single time. Automation also makes it easy to scale—no need for extra manpower or office space. Whether you want to send 100 emails, 1,000 emails, or 10,000 emails, a few clicks, and you're done.

If done right, cold emails will help you build relationships with prospects and promote your product or service while cutting down on marketing costs. So, how can you make sure your cold email campaign is as effective as possible?

How To Optimize Your Cold Email Marketing Campaign

Cold emailing is a conversation with prospects who still don’t know anything about you. So, you need to craft an email that not only conveys value but also encourages them to respond in some way. Here’s how:

1) Start strong with an eye-catching and relevant subject line—this is the first thing your prospects will notice, so make sure it grabs their attention and accurately reflects what you have to say. Try to be unique and interesting without being too gimmicky!

2) Personalize your emails—Research the prospects and address them by name. Mention any interests or experiences they may have had with similar products. Show you’ve taken the time to craft a message tailored towards them.?

3) Keep it short and sweet—Don’t make them bored. Give them something direct and to the point, so they won’t click away.

4) Add a clear call-to-action (CTA) —Give prospects something to do after reading your email. Do you want them to schedule a call or sign up for your newsletter? Should they check out your Christmas offers on your website or do they reply to your email and speak to you directly? Let them know.?

5) Follow up regularly—Don't be discouraged if no one responds right away. In an Ambition case study, it took multiple follow-ups before prospects began to respond, even though half of them had opened the first email. Creating more touchpoints is key as long as you're not bombarding them with 20 messages a day!?

In short, cold emailing is like a treasure hunt! With a few clicks and some cleverly crafted words, you could end up with gold. No matter what industry you're in, follow these five steps for success: catchy subject line, personalization, brevity, clear CTA, and follow-up.
