Why Email Marketing Matters
Have you ever considered how much revenue you might be missing out on by not leveraging email marketing properly? Many people believe that email is dead, but the statistics tell a different story. According to McKinsey, email is 40 times more effective at acquiring new customers than Facebook and Twitter combined. Moreover, emails convert three times better than any other social media channel. In Brazil alone, effective email strategies can increase sales by over 138%.
Here are a few compelling facts:
- 52% of Brazilians spend at least one hour a day reading emails.
- 58% check their inbox as soon as they receive a notification.
Clearly, email is a powerful sales channel that many overlook. So, how can you make the most of it? Let me share my proven five-step strategy that can transform your email marketing efforts.
Step 0: Choose the Right Domain
Before diving into the strategies, it’s crucial to have a professional domain. A good domain is foundational for quality email communication. Avoid using free services like Gmail or Hotmail for business emails; instead, opt for a custom domain. I recommend purchasing your domain through Hostinger, where you can also find discounts.
Step 1: Craft Your Email Strategy
Use Artificial Intelligence for Writing
The first step in my strategy involves using AI to craft emails. I don’t personally write them anymore; instead, I train AI to do it for me. This allows for higher volume and more creative outputs.
Step 2: Create a Training Inbox
To get inspiration, I set up a “fake inbox” where I subscribe to email lists from industry leaders I admire. This way, I can analyze what works and what doesn’t in email marketing. I categorize these emails by sender, theme, and style, which helps inform my future email strategies.
Step 3: Train Your AI
Once you have a collection of successful email examples, it’s time to train your AI. Using tools like GPT-4 (available through a Plus subscription), you can feed your AI examples and get tailored email responses based on the styles you prefer.
Step 4: Focus on Volume Over Perfection
Remember the story of a photography class? Students who took many photos ended up with better results than those who waited for the “perfect shot.” Similarly, in email marketing, creating numerous drafts increases your chances of hitting the mark with a successful email. Don’t strive for perfection; instead, focus on creating and testing various emails to discover what resonates with your audience.
Step 5: Automate Your Campaigns
Email automation is crucial for maximizing your sales potential. You can set up automated sequences for:
- Cart recovery
- Welcome emails
- Follow-ups on purchases
Automation not only saves time but also keeps your audience engaged without overwhelming them with emails.
Conclusion
Email marketing can be an incredibly lucrative strategy when executed correctly. By investing in a professional domain, leveraging AI for writing, gathering inspiration from successful campaigns, and automating your processes, you can see a significant increase in your sales.
