Email Design Tips for the Modern Marketer

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Today we will share with you key findings from the 2015 Association Email Marketing Benchmark. In addition to sharing key metrics we’ll share some insight into trends that are influencing engagement metrics. We’ll also discuss key email elements that influence email metrics so that you can walk away with a few action items to start working on.
  • #4 VIV Key Findings Latest Industry Marketing Trends
  • #5 Brand Continuity – 10,000 foot view of website and email Same look and feel promotes posititve recognition and familiarity – ease of use…know what your looking for and know where to find things The email is a little hard to see at this distance, so let’s take an up close and personal look at what’s going on in the email.
  • #6 Header and Footer (like book ends) match web design and contain social icons and useful call to action icons Images help tell the story – the top image or hero image clearly lets me know that vineyards and winetasting can be part of my agenda. Customized text call to action buttons such as plan your trip and book your stay are directive and easy to interact with. (notice the play on colors so that they CTA stand out)
  • #7 Visually appealing email, I love the way the newsletter wraps up at the bottom with 3 column call out section. Nice balance of imagery and text which makes it interesting and engaging for the reader.

  • #12  SWOT Leader, quality program, integrated system between the website, email marketing platform and database W – one size, once a month promotional email where all the CME courses were listed.
  • #13 Majority mobile openers
  • #14 9 out of 10 association marketers forget one of the most important parts of the email program. Its not enough to hit the email send button on the down swing. With sending the email being the objective for most marketers, the interaction afterwards is forgotten about. The follow through is crucial in driving conversion. Now, instead of just the one email, we are giving members time to interact with the message, then use decision steps to determine what courses they click on as well as if they completed the purchase.
