Email Marketing 101
Thursday, August 6th, 2009Four tips for creating a visually appealing email marketing campaign:
Design color-wise.
Select a visually appealing color scheme. Market studies and psychiatrists say that colors tremendously influence the human psyche. Select shades that are easy to read. Avoid dark backgrounds with light or white lettering, making it easy for your prospects to read your message and enticing them enough—to take action now.
Inspire mass-market appeal.
Email marketing is a balance between creativity and mass market appeal. Being too esoteric may detract from the primary goal of the email marketing campaign: an incentive to act now. Integrate a direct marketing communiqué that harmonizes innovation with mass-market appeal.
Keep it scan worthy.
Email recipients receive a glut of promotions in their email box. Dense text blocks are not reader friendly. Breaking up the text allows the reader to scan for information of interest. Also, be sure to use a font readable for a cross spectrum of recipients.
Delegate it.
Meanwhile, a professionally designed email market campaign is the difference between customer conversions and emails bound for the trash bin. When all creativity fails, delegate your email campaign’s design to a Web design firm.
