17. Final Recommendations
Based on the work you did throughout
this project, what would you do for
Emails #2 & 3.
Based on the above results, I would recommend changing the CTA
buttons/wording. The click through rate was fairly small and maybe
different wording would engage customers better.
I would also recommend some A/B testing with the visual. I would try
a version like mine where there are no people in the picture, and try
an image where a person is included to see which image gets a
better response.
There were also 30 unsubscribes from the first email campaign. This
needs to be addressed because there was something about this
email that was bothersome to those subscribed. Maybe making the
email more personalized using the merge tags feature would make
the customers feel like the email is less spam-y.
