How Automation Dictates the Success of Your Email Marketing Strategies? [INFOGRAPHIC]

When you say email marketing, what you really mean? It is nothing but a strategy to drive conversions. You will subtly use the right messages and context to push your customers forward in the sales funnel, with an ultimate aim to persuade them to complete the purchase.

For this, you need to devise an email strategy for every stage of buying that the subscriber would be in, as that will help them with just the content they want to read at the moment.

However, what makes life difficult for the email marketer is understanding the customer’s buying journey and manually sending appropriate emails at the right time with the right intent.

To make things easier, you need to use email automation, which is nothing but a marketing tool that lets you send automated emails based on certain triggers. It helps in gauging the current mood of the customer and send in emails that connect with them immediately.

How does automation work? Well, the first thing that triggers an automated email is the behavior of the subscriber. There is a goal that is written in the automation algorithm. Once this is ticked off, then the automated email is sent to the particular customer. It is as simple as that.

Millennials are a tech-savvy generation with strong purchasing power and it is believed to reach $1.4 trillion by the year 2020. Companies spend an enormous amount on millennial marketing for obvious reasons. If you want to make the most of your marketing efforts, you should communicate with them effectively. This is a challenge for most marketers.

But the good news is that instead of looking for newer methods to market to millennials, marketers can leverage the age-old marketing channel – Email Marketing.

Here’re Some Interesting Facts –

According to Adobe Email Consumer Survey, millennials are gripped with email and prefer to be reached by email for work
It was discovered that one-third of millennials prefer to email rather than Slack, phone calls, or video
More than 50% of the millennials falling under the age of 18 to 24 check their email in the morning while in bed, and 43% of millennials aged 25 to 34 reported to do the same.

Hence, it’s no wonder why email is the most loved communication channel for millennials.

I love emails. Well, it’s my job you’d say but really, I love the way emails are changing and email marketers are adopting new technology, creating the most amazing designs of which we had never even thought a decade ago.

However, email marketing isn’t an easy task. A subscriber might open your emails in the beginning but whether they will continue to be excited about your emails depends on how good you are at keeping them engaged. And how is it that you can keep them wanting more? By surprising them with novel ideas – a catchy copy and a rocking email design.

81% marketers believe that interactive content engages subscribers more than static content. Moreover, interactivity increases unique click rates by 18% and click-to-open rates by 10%.
