The beauty of email marketing really is how fine-tuned you can make your approach, and how targeted all of your efforts can become. When you do this, you'll be more efficient and profitable, you'll be reaching your prospects and customers more effectively and you'll improve your success on every level.
Break it Down
One of the keys to really effective targeted email marketing is categorizing your list. When your list is segmented, you can focus certain campaigns on specific groups. You can categorize your list by location, demographic information, or even previous purchasing history.
Once you have your list segmented
you can then send all of the different groups specific emails that are highly tailored to their own needs, desires and interests. Your targeted email marketing communications will therefore be received in a much better fashion by your visitors. What's that called again? Oh yeah, PREselling! Another great way to presell your email campaigns is by video. You can create a video email marketing campaign. This can be a great way to convert your visitors.You can jumpstart this process by getting your list members to segment themselves when they signup for your list. Ask them a few quick questions when they provide their address, potentially including what kinds of messages they'd like to receive - breaking news, deals, new products, tips, or any other questions that could help your business break them down.
Don't go overboard and try to ask them everything however. When you do this you can actually end up losing new list members who don't feel like providing all of that information. So keep your questions short and sweet.
Benefit from the Data
Then you can use your statistics and analysis to break them down further. Which people on your list didn't open any of your last three emails?
How about sending all of those individuals a special, one-time discount that they couldn't find anywhere else, or trying other tactics to regain their attention.You can even send out customer surveys asking your list what they like abut your emails, what they'd like to see more or less of and so forth. This is a way of keeping your list members engaged, as they will feel like they are valued and their opinion counts. Plus you'll be getting your hands on some priceless data which you can put to work for your next round of sales, marketing and promotional efforts.
With targeted email marketing you will be taking what you already do and making it much more productive and efficient. You'll be tailoring your messages to the specific needs and interests of different groups, and in this way they will be far better received. You will get your messages viewed more, and your desired results will be much easier to achieve.
