June 2019 Orlando Blogger Meetup was with Kara Franco, who is on IG @bykarafranco. Kara is a copywriter and digital marketer. Kara spoke on the do’s and don’ts of Email Marketing. One key point she noted – Remember your audience are people, you should remember to make it personal, address them by name. The way you nurture a plant you should nurture your email list. Build a relationship by asking questions and getting to know the people behind the emails. But don’t make it creepy, no one needs that.
Set a schedule on when you want to interact. Do not email every day, give them a chance to miss you, but also don’t wait too long to email them either.
Do not forget about your Key Touch Point:
- Have a confirmation message
- Send a welcome email
- Make your unsubscribe process super easy to do.
Kara has a wealth of knowledge and is available to help take your website and business to the next level.
Remember to keep showing up for your audience. Never burn a bridge between you and your audience. Buying an email list is a major No-No!! Hiding your unsubscribe button is bad. Things in life happen and right now may not be a good time to follow you, just respect that. And last point, when you are starting a business and compiling an email list, always remember to list your physical address or PO Box address on your page – It is the Can Spam Act Law.
