Hey,
I'm trying to figure out what the best practices are for email campaigns. What works best, branded HTML emails or simple text emails? Should I mention the recipient's name or it's ok to keep it neutral? Is there are any tricks that help to improve open/response rate?
Thanks!
Both HTML and simple text email works but each needs to be configured differently. If you go with the plain text do what @andreboso says. If you go with the HTML you need to keep it simple a header image, bullet points clean title that instantly tells what the user will get if they use whatever your are selling. Also, I found "The Copywriter's Handbook: A Step-By-Step Guide To Writing Copy That Sells" book helpful.
Thank for the advice and book recommendation, I'll take a look!
Can you provide a bit more information? Who are you sending emails to? Why and what about? What are you trying to achieve?
A weekly blog newsletter, B2B cold sales email and a B2C jewelry-ecommerce deal email will all have very different best practices.
I'm working on a B2B Saas and I'm trying to figure out a general strategy for all kind of emails:
Thank you for showing the example, I really like the template!
Thanks for the additional information.
I'm sorry, the question is too broad for me to answer well. My suggestion would be to check out how a similar company you admire handles these problems.
Without knowing much about your situation, I imagine there are challenges which are comparatively speaking much more important to focus on (being serious, not snarky) :)
Good luck!
Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!
