SOMETHING STINKS!?! ??
“Our Email Sends Are Not Doing Well” is a really dumb statement.
‘OFFERS’ perform differently.?Knowing the performance of different types of offers can radically change your overall email marketing results.?‘OFFERS’ are like people…everyone is different. ‘OFFERS’ should have specific expectations based on which one is used.?So here is a BREAKDOWN of B2B and B2C ‘OFFER’ performance in RANK ORDER based on data from LAST 30 DAYS:
?
[LAST 30 DAYS] - BUSINESS
Email Content/Offers RANKED by % Increase in Click-Through vs. Generic Product Offer
[LAST 30 DAYS] - CONSUMER
Email Content/Offers RANKED by % Increase in Click-Through vs. Generic Product Offer
YOU’LL PROBABLY IGNORE THIS TIP
The real secret to email marketing is doing a ton of SMALL THINGS that add up to big overall results.?Adding a “P.S.” to your email sends is super easy, costs nothing, and you probably won’t do it…Yes, I am talking to you!
EXAMPLE: P.S.
POLITICAL EMAILS ARE THE WORST!!!!!
First off…Both parties are spammers, and you can thank them for hurting your email performance… And, Google (for the first time) is prioritizing political email for this election and not allowing ANY of it to go to JUNK in Gmail.?So, even more garbage will be in everyone’s inboxes.?Which leads to lower overall performance for all of us. Yay!!!

2 年Curious what your open rate is for your newsletter emails. I bet it is enviable. I think the 2nd half is why many of us open it! The tips are always great, but the fun stuff is the icing on the cake (the best part)! PS - Can't wait to try a PS.
Just set up an A/B test for the P.S. trick... we will see! ??

2 年Such a cringey finale between the Tino/Aven moment and watching Zach meet girls without the ?mood lighting and swelling music? haha. Overall great TV, but I do wonder if they went too far with the public shaming. ?? At least Gabby is happy! ??
