EMAIL MARKETING FAQS
Why is email marketing important?
Some time ago, someone suggested that email marketing is dead . . . and email marketers have been disproving that statement ever since.
Consider these stats:
- There are currently 4 billion daily email users, but the number is anticipated to rise to 4.6 billion by 2025
- 78% of marketers report increasing email engagement from 2020 to 2021
- Regardless of generation, people consider email to be the most personal marketing channel. Here’s the generational breakdown.
- 74% of Baby Boomers
- 72% of Gen X
- 64% of Millennials
- 60% of Gen Z
Can I use email marketing for the legal industry? Healthcare? How about IT consulting? Or accounting?
Yes. Email marketing is endlessly adaptable to industries, whether you’re a small law firm, a large healthcare practice, or a tech startup.
That’s not to say that the same strategies work across the board. Instead, your strategy should be based on your ideal audience, your business goals, your mission and values, and who you are as a business.
What’s more, while most people are used to digital communications, customers across industries and markets feel differently about how they get email communications. Your strategy should always consider:
- Email frequency and timing
- Content
- Offers and CTAs
- Overall marketing activities
Speaking of frequency, how often should I send emails?
There’s no one right answer for this, but there are a few basic things to consider. First, you need to be consistent. Whether you send an email out once a month or once a day, creating a schedule makes it easier to stay top-of-mind for your audience.
That being said, remember that while email marketing is effective, people get lots of emails. A lot of them. So if you’re hitting “send” once a month, that might not be enough to be memorable. On the flip side, if you’re sending too many emails—as in, multiple emails a week—you risk being too memorable. As in, your reader will remember to UNSUBSCRIBE.
How do you know what the right amount is? Our answer for everyone is this: Testing. When you build an email strategy with a testing mindset, you accomplish a lot.
- You gather invaluable data
- You understand your audience’s needs better
- You refine your messaging, offers, and CTAs
- You avoid making big marketing missteps that can cost you time and money
Open rates? Clickthrough rates? Bounce rates? What do these metrics mean?
If you’re reading all of this and it sounds pretty good . . . but also a little unclear, don’t worry. Just like the legal industry (or tech or healthcare or accounting or any other vertical), marketing has its own language that can be head-scratching at times.
However, understanding common metrics used in email marketing can make it MUCH easier to understand your strategy and results. Here’s an overview of some common email marketing metrics:
- Open rates: Percentage of people who open your email. This used to be a common metric, but as Apple has updated its iOs, it’s harder to track how many opens you’re getting.
- Clickthrough rates: The percentage of people who click on a link in your email. This is calculated out of the total number of people who opened the email to begin with.
- Bounce rates: Percentage of emails that weren’t delivered. This could be because your email is going to someone’s spam folder, but it could also be because the email address isn’t valid, their mailbox is full, your email has been blocked, and more.
These aren’t the only metrics that are used in email marketing, but they’re the most common.
