Tips For Making These Emails Work For You

These free templates are a great starting point for any business wanting to do more with email marketing. However, they are far from perfect. And like the opening said, these are not the same as professionally written emails. They are basic templates. Making these your own is what will really help you stand out from anyone just using the basics. 

Customers love it when you do a little extra for them. 

Crafting your own email templates can seem daunting. So here are some tips to help you improve upon the templates you’ve found in this article. 

Define Your Email’s Purpose:

Determine the single goal of your email. Yes, I do mean single. This will make it easier for a customer to take immediate action. And that’s what you want. Furthermore, you can always write another email for any secondary ideas.

Know Your Audience:

If you already use the power of having a segmented list, you already know how important it can be to use the right language for the right people. And there’s no use is sending a cat food round-up to someone who owns birds. Understand your audience’s preferences, interests, and pain points. 

Craft a Compelling Subject Line:

If they don’t open it, your email will never work. Again while these templates are okay, you should strive to improve on some of these subject lines. And when making your own email templates, keep your subject line short and exciting. 

Personalize Your Message:

Use personalization techniques such as addressing the recipient by their first name. Or mentioning their pet’s name if you have it. Personal touches make your emails more relatable and engaging. However, not all platforms allow this type of integration. 

Incorporate Visuals:

Use high-quality images and branded graphics alongside your message. Pet-related visuals, such as cute pet photos or videos, can increase engagement and make your emails more appealing. They also help break up walls of text that can become boring. 

Include a Clear Call to Action (CTA):

Every email should have a clear CTA that tells the recipient what you want them to do next. Always. It can be as simple as visiting your website, making a purchase, or contacting you. Even reading more on the topic with a link to a blog post. Just make sure there’s an action. 

Conclusion

There you have it. Some basic free email templates to get you started. And a few tips to keep your email marketing game going in the right direction.
