Email marketing is like a game of chess; you need to think three moves ahead to win. That’s why businesses must optimize their email campaigns to reach their audiences effectively. Litmus, the email marketing software, offered some great tips for email optimization during its Email Debrief Live event. The first is to personalize the subject line, as this can increase open rates by 26%. Businesses should also optimize their emails for mobile devices. In fact, 60% of emails are opened on a mobile device. Additionally, businesses should use language that is clear, concise, and engaging while also maintaining brand consistency. Finally, including video content in emails can increase click-through rates by 300%. To sum it up, if you want to win at email marketing, you need to think ahead and optimize your emails for every device, use engaging language, and personalize your subject line to catch your audience’s attention.
