POV: Using Email to Generate Quality Leads

Prioritizing quality over quantity when it comes to email leads is simply a smart business decision.?

Here are 3 key benefits of doing so:

? Higher Conversion Rates: Quality leads are more likely to engage with your emails, click on your links, and convert into paying customers.

By focusing on attracting high-quality leads, you can increase your conversion rates and ultimately drive more revenue for your business.

? Lower Unsubscribe Rates: When you target high-quality leads who are genuinely interested in what you have to offer, you are less likely to see high unsubscribe rates.

By sending specific, relevant content to the right audience, you can keep your subscribers engaged and interested in receiving your offers.

? Saving money: Many email marketing platforms charge you per active subscriber.

If that’s the case for you, prioritizing quality leads could save you money in the long run if your subscriber thresholds are not being breached with low-intent subscribers on your list.?

To prioritize quality leads over quantity in your email marketing efforts, try these strategies:

?? Create Highly Targeted Lead Magnets: Create lead magnets that are specific to the needs of your ideal customer.

Offer valuable content or resources that address specific pain points or challenges faced by that audience.

Ideally, you’ll attract folks who intend to alleviate their pain points with your offers.

These lead magnets could be ebooks, guides, discounts, or exclusive content.?

?? Apply Double Opt-In: Use double opt-in confirmation for all new subscribers.

This extra step ensures that only genuinely interested users are added to your list, leading to higher engagement rates and fewer spam complaints.

Conversely, this extra step can help filter out low-intent subscribers who may have signed up by mistake or who are unwilling to take an extra step to obtain your lead magnet.?

Think about it: If folks are unwilling to open an extra email and click an extra button now, will they be willing to take you up on later offers??

?? Clearly state your intent: Be upfront about how you intend to use the email addresses you collect.

Clearly state this on your lead magnet opt-in and reiterate it in your double opt-in confirmation.

Letting people know exactly what accepting your lead magnet means makes sure there are no surprises later.

People who still say “yes” to your lead magnet, are higher quality leads because they are consenting to the conditions of acceptance.?

?? Engagement Tracking: Monitor engagement metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates to identify high-quality leads.

Use this data to refine your targeting and messaging for better results.

When you find low to no engagement for long periods of time (90 days or more), implement a re-engagement strategy aimed at cleaning your list of those uninterested in your content.

This will keep your metrics higher, helping you land in the inbox, and it will save you from paying for subscribers who don’t engage or make purchases.?

By focusing on quality over quantity in your email leads, you're not just boosting conversions; you're curating a VIP list that's eager for your content. It's like having a guest list where everyone RSVPs and shows up for the party.
