Value of Email Marketing
EMAIL MARKETING IS THE BEST USE OF A LIMITED BUDGET
When you build email marketing infrastructure, you are investing in a long-term sales strategy. A month of ad-spend can drive sales now. Applying that same budget to email marketing can drive sales for a year or more.
It’s Effective
TRUST THE NUMBERS
Average CTR for email is around 3% compared to 0.5% for a tweet.
4.24% of visitors buy something compared to 2.49% from search engines and 0.59% from social media.
It’s Measurable
The best email marketing platforms include built-in analytics so you can see which emails are performing, what percentage are being opened and what percentage of recipients are clicking links.
It’s Affordable
With email marketing, your budget goes towards infrastructure instead of ad-spend.
Monthly fees are manageable and can be easily estimated based on the size of your mailing list.
Email Marketing Platform
HOW AN AGENCY EVALUATES SOFTWARE
Choosing a software platform is a lot like hiring an employee; the goal is to properly vet them to insure they are reliable, easy to work with, here to stay, and will grow with your company. Just about any email marketing platform will do the job but some will do more than others.
Email Marketing Terms
THE LANGUAGE OF EMAIL MARKETING
Understanding the language of email marketing is the first step to building an email marketing plan that leverages all of the available features.

● Around 34% of emails on mobile and
54% of emails on desktop are
abandoned or only skimmed1
● Email attention span is reportedly about
13 seconds2
on average
● Keep the copy short and sweet, and
make your email instantly visually
interesting.

● Establish visual hierarchy and good
text-to-image ratio
● Keep headline on two lines or less
● Keep text on a simplified background
so it’s easy to read
● If you do have copy that is longer than three lines,
bold or highlight key words/phrases
● Use directional cues to draw the eye to the most
important part of your email.
Keep it Clean
What Top Brands are Testing to Grow Email Marketing Revenue
9. 9
● Rotate design layout to avoid using the
same framework over and over again -
emails will become stale.
○ Pro Tip: Create at least four different
wireframes to cycle through your email
program. Once these have been tested and
optimized, use of color/typography/imagery
can create the illusion of a much wider
template library. Master templates help build
emails more quickly and reduce errors

● Test a mix of illustrated heros, lifestyle images, typography
heros, and product highlights, and GIFs.
Tips for GIFs:
○ 1MB or less
○ Avoid too many animation elements in one email
○ Outlook does not support animation. The first frame must communicate
your message
● Avoid reusing heros: often times, this will fail the “glance test”
● Consider Video: video is expected to make up 80% of content
on the internet by 20201
and video in an email can lead to
200-300% increase in click-through rate2
Vary Your Creatives

11. 11
● Placement: CTAs should be above the fold
● Number: Use Multiple CTAs where it makes sense. Every
email creative should have at least one CTA - if contacts
get used to having no engagement point, click rates will
decline over time
● Treatment: Buttons should be large, for ease of mobile
use. Make sure color stands out against the design and
text is easy to read.
● Copy: Don’t be afraid to change up your CTA text. Aim to
use something different than “Shop Now” for every CTA in
the design.
Best Practices: Calls to Action
What Top Brands are Testing to Grow Email Marketing Revenue
12. 12
● Navigation with multiple end locations is recommended,
in the event that contact does not choose to engage with
primary CTA. Header/footer navigation can account for
as high as 25% of total clicks
○ Pro Tip: Track using heat maps or link reporting. If certain
location/navigation categories are consistently performing higher or
lower than the average, test new categories/destinations
● Incorporate Sub-banners. Sub-banners can increase
clicks and conversions, especially if the main content is
highly focused on one product or offer.
● Include social channels and referral programs.
Additional Engagement Points
What Top Brands are Testing to Grow Email Marketing Revenue
13. 13
● DO maintain updated Brand Guidelines, and keep your
branding consistent email over email and across your
other channels
● DO consider user experience to reduce bounce
○ Pro-tip: use analytics to review your site bounce rate for the email
channel specifically. Is it high in comparison to your overall bounce
rate? Take a critical look at design of landing pages to identify if there
is a disconnect
● DON’T discount design-shock
○ Pro-tip: when rolling out new creative, aim to test on a cohort of new
contacts, to accurately measure lift and optimize design before
rolling out to full subscriber base
Branding: Dos and Don’ts
What Top Brands are Testing to Grow Email Marketing Revenue
14. 14
● 40.7% of marketers polled in a Litmus study1
placed “focusing more on personalization and
dynamic content” as the top email trend in 2019
● First step: inventory your data
○ Pro tip: most brands have enough information to know
where a contact falls in the funnel, basic demographic or
location data, and past browse and purchase behavior
● Utilize product recommendation tools to
dynamically display products customers may be
interested in
Personalization

● Start Segmenting: Marketers who use
segmented campaigns note as much as
a 760% increase in revenue1

● Use emails as a way to gather
information on user preferences for
further segmentation opportunities

● Over 50% of all emails were opened on
mobile in 2018 - and we know this
number is much higher for younger markets
● Poor formatting is the number one
complaint about mobile email. If an email
displays poorly, no matter how good the
content is, it’s likely to be deleted in under three seconds
(in >70% of cases)1
● Conversions rates for mobile traffic are growing quickly year-over-year,
while conversion rates for desktop traffic are dropping2

● Assets should be sized at double typical email width (sized to
1200px) to render clearly on retina displays
● Enlarge your fonts. Depending on the typeface, the headline
font should be a minimum of 22px and body font 14px or more.
● Stick to single-column layout
● Keep copy concise. Rule of thumb: your reader will likely scroll
through 2 times or less before moving on
● Test your email across multiple devices
Mobile Requirements
What Top Brands are Testing to Grow Email Marketing Revenue
○ Pro-tip: Run your email through email rendering software to see
how your email displays in the inbox across most devices.
Otherwise, gather info on top opens across devices and
optimize for those

Types of Mobile Design
What Top Brands are Testing to Grow Email Marketing Revenue

Device Render Same across desktop and mobile
Different design and layouts across devices

Support Supported across all platforms
Supported by most platforms, but some app and
older webmail clients do not support CSS
Considerations
● More/larger images may affect email
load time
● Emails must be designed as a grid,
without overlapping elements
● Limited support for background images
When You Should Use It
● Highly-stylized, minimal text emails
● Single column templates
● Strict brand needs (fonts, colors, etc)
● Text-heavy emails, such as newsletters or
informative emails
● Multi-column layouts (adjust to single
column in code)
● Dynamic content
21. How often are you testing?
Poll Question
● I regularly A/B test my subject lines, messaging

● It’s not important to me

● Develop a hypothesis that you are trying to prove.
● Execute true A/B splits whenever possible.
● Make sure groups are large enough to be a true sample of database; generally
recommend test sizes above 10K contacts.
● Tests should be run across multiple sends over a time range to normalize against
external noise.
● Run any single test 1 to 2 times a week over a 3 to 4 week time range, depending on
the test. Tests within workflows should run for 2-3 weeks
● Tests should be run on similar types of sends and segments to avoid skewed results
● If you have high confidence in clear takeaways, incorporate learnings into the email
program.
