The planning stage
Research
If you want your emails to really pack a punch and be impactful, you need to know your audience and what your competitors are doing. It’s also worth researching aspirational brands that you admire too.
Purpose
What’s your why? Why are you sending the emails? Be SMART and turn your goals into objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-based. Know the touch points in your business when you interact and engage with your customer.
Message
Know what your key message is. What do your audience want? What problem do you solve?

The creation stage
Subject Lines
You want to entice and excite your audience, with a subject title that jumps out at the reader in their inbox. Use power words to evoke an emotional connection with the reader.
Layout
Don’t get bogged down with the design and layout too much. Keep it simple and make sure you personalise it. Personalisation increases open rates by 26%.
Content
Think about your brand’s tone of voice and how you want to communicate with your audience. Strong imagery is a must. And when it comes to the copy – sell the benefits not the features.
