Email Marketing Tips and Tricks

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) has found that effective e-mail marketing can offer a ROI of 4300% (18).

But it’s important to get it right so you don’t damage your practice’s identity. It’s obviously also important to get it right so it works for you as a business tool and brings in new clients and bonds existing clients to you. Here are some tips to get it right:

1. Branding:

Keep it consistent and make it recognisable.

2. Catchy e-mail subject:

Grabbing attention for the right reasons can make the difference between opens and ignores.

3. Personalise:

Use your clients names and make sure your return email address is one people will recognise.

4. Simplicity:

Keep your message focussed. It’s better to concentrate on one topic per email.

5. Reward for reading:

A discount for a service or some pet health advice will not only make your email more enjoyable but will encourage opens time and again.

6. Use a compelling Call to Action (CTA):

If your email discusses dental check ups, finish the email with a link to book one.

7. Short not long:

People are busy, keep it short and to the point.

8. P.S.:

Using a PS quite often grabs dwindling attention, try it out.
