Best Practices for Email Marketing

You’ve got mail! But that doesn’t mean you’re going to open it, right? So how

can you be sure that your members will?

Well, we can help! We’ve got a few quick tips for getting “in” with your

members’ inboxes.

Create compelling subject lines & content

Think of a subject line like a headline on a newspaper.

Subject line should be relevant, interesting, and accurate

without being too over the top. After all, you don’t want your

email coming across like spam.

Keep your email short and sweet.

Personalize your message

With so much junk mail being sent, it's important to

personalize your emails so they'll stand out.

An association management system, or AMS can make personalizing emails a breeze by integrating with your database.

Provide a call-to-action

You can’t expect your members to do something if you never ask. That’s why

calls-to-action, or CTAs are so important.

CTAs are words or phrases that try to provoke an immediate response, such as

“click here” or “call today.”

To make your CTAs stand out, try making them bigger, using a different color, or outlining them with extra white space. Check out the example to the right.

Send yourself a test

Before sending out an email, always,

always, always test it!

Test your email in different email services like Gmail and Outlook.

In addition, test the content of

your email as well. Look for typos, broken links, and clear CTAs.

Experiment with the timing of your emails. Think about when your members are most likely to be sitting at their computers.
