Email is still one of those things everyone keeps saying that you need to do, in fact many say that the money is in the list. But there is a right way to do email marketing and there is a wrong way. In this article I plan to give you a few pointers that are going to teach you how to get the most out of your email marketing efforts. One of the major things you can do so that people can recognize your brand is using email templates. Using your logo and colors in your emails will most likely improve your open rates by 20%.

One of the worst things you can do is trying to buy email lists, the best contacts are the ones you have gathered yourself. Reason is you know those contacts are targeted to your niche and what you are offering. Buying bulk email lists will only waste your time and your emails will most likely go straight into the spam folder of the recipient. Concentrate only on gathering your own list and build a relationship through emails with that list.

When the time comes to actually write a promotional email is important that you make your subject line short and sweet. Misleading subject lines will most likely get you a lot of unhappy subscribers, be honest and to the point with what you are offering. Remember even with email marketing honestly is still the best policy.

But perhaps one of the worst mistakes you need to avoid is adding people to your list without their permission. Make sure that the leads you get into your subscriber base are because they opted in. If there's something you don't want is having to reply to a bunch of angry subscribers who didn't ask to receive anything from you.

These tips you read can help your messages go from junk to excellent; however, nothing will happen if you don't apply them. Use them with any of your current projects, or apply them when you are drafting a new marketing campaign; you will soon achieve the success you have been wanting.
