It is personalized, and it doesn\u2019t feel like they are selling something, rather, helping the reader by solving their problems, without quoting a price-tag on things.<\/p>\n<p>You see? The idea of a \u2018Well-designed\u2019 email should not be rigid. It need not always be without any graphics, and it also need not look like a website. Do not follow a set-designed template, make sure you are experimenting with multiple alternatives &amp; analyzing each one of them.<\/p>\n<h2><u><strong>#2 Don&#8217;t: <\/strong><\/u><u><strong>Use ambiguous &amp; non-personal email addresses<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n<p>PLEASE Don\u2019t spoil the only chance you have by hitting your email subscribers with an email address that looks suspicious.\u00a0This does not only make your brand appear to be doubtful to new prospects, it also makes the already existing customers to start having mistrust in your organization.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the email addresses you should avoid using:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; noreply@XYZcompany.com<br \/>&#8211; marketing@XYZcompany.com<br \/>&#8211; finance@XYZcompany.com<br \/>&#8211; sales@XYZcompany.com<\/p>\n<p>The emails that you want to get opened should <strong>ALWAYS<\/strong> come from a source that seems personal, hence appears to be personal.<\/p>\n<h2><u><strong>#2 Do:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n<h3><u><strong>\u2192 Use personal email addresses<\/strong><\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Think about it, which one of the following 2 emails are you more likely to trust<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">badass_naveen878@knorish.com<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">jamie@knorish.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>People appreciate it when they realize that there is a real person who is sending them the mail.

Especially on a platform like E-mail where subscribers are bombarded with tons of emails every single day. All people will do is get pestered &amp; unsubscribe from your email list.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the biggest mistakes followed by amateur marketers. Always understand that not everyone is interested in your product\/service. For a sale to happen, there has to be intent from both ends.<\/p>\n<h2><u><strong>#3 Do:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n<h3><u><strong>\u2192 Send emails ONLY to the concerned list of subscribers<\/strong><\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s suppose you have an email subscriber\u2019s list with 3 sets of targeted audience, at different stages of your funnel.<\/p>\n<p>If you send the same message to all 3 of them with the intent of only serving one, you are likely to see the other 2 finding their way out of your email list.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it should go:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">If you wish to send a mail to generate awareness about a new product\/service, you can send it to your entire list of subscribers.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">If you wish to send a promotional email, send it only to the new list of subscribers, and NOT the ones who have already purchased your product\/service.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">If you wish to send an email to the existing subscribers for a premium upgrade, make sure you don\u2019t send the email to those who haven\u2019t even bought\/subscribed to the basic plans of your product\/service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><u><strong>#4 Don&#8217;t:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n<h3><u><strong>\u2192 Assume different subject lines to be good or bad <\/strong><\/u><\/h3>\n<p>If the body of the mail is the brick that is used to make the building, that is email marketing, then a <em><strong>Subject Line is a pillar.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You just can\u2019t say whether one subject line is better than the other on the basis of an assumption.<\/p>\n<p>Subject lines are concise, and they seem like they can be easily written, but NO! They are a make or break situation for you. This makes subject lines the most important element of an email.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick exercise: How many boxes do your subject lines check from the following list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Use lower-case, NOT Title Case, or ALL CAPS<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Kept it to MAX 6 words<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Lacked punctuations<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Asked a question<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Generated enough intrigue in them to open the email<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><u><strong>#4 Do:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n<h3><u><strong>\u2192 Follow a structured subject-line strategy but DON\u2019T go by the formulas<\/strong><\/u><\/h3>\n<p>If you really want your emails to be delivered to the right inboxes &amp; opened \u2013 You really should be doing ALL OF THE ABOVE points.<\/p>\n<p>Intrigue is &amp; will always be the evergreen winner to compel &amp; draw in your reader\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>However, in that process, a big mistake that a lot of marketers make is to go by is sticking to some cliched formulas for drafting their email subject lines, every single time, AND YOU SHOULDN\u2019T DO THAT. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p>Tell us something, how many times have you come across these lines:<\/p>\n<p><em>\ud83e\udc6a 9 secrets of losing weight fast<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\ud83e\udc6a 5 ways by which you can make money fast<\/em><\/p>\n<p>They are decent, they will get a few clicks, but let\u2019s be completely honest here \u2013 How many times have we come across lines like these? Almost every time! They are old, they are out of fashion, &amp; THEY ARE BORING!<\/p>\n<p>This is because they look good in the beginning, &amp; work decently too, but, over a period of time, they keep getting recycled back &amp; forth, training email subscribers to be acquainted with the lines as well as the intent behind them, resulting in <strong>email blindness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You see? That\u2019s the problem with using formulated &amp; templatized subject lines. It\u2019s not just you and us that are using them. Almost every second marketer would be sitting at their desk, using these formulas to draft their email subject lines. Don\u2019t be them, be different.<\/p>\n<p>However, let\u2019s face the truth. Sometimes, we all need that little push when our own creative juices aren\u2019t flowing. Those are the times when you can rely on a distinctive formula that can help you come out of the vicious loop of non-creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Following are a few creative templates you can deploy to make a fresh start &amp; get your creative juices flowing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">discover the [solution] that will change your life<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">stop [undesirable] state today<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">[benefit\/solution] while you sleep<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">X reasons why you need to [subject]<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">are you ready to solve\/overcome [user\u2019s problem]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><u><strong>#5 Don&#8217;t:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n<h3><u><strong>\u2192 Purchase an email address list <\/strong><\/u><\/h3>\n<p>While it might seem quite exciting to quickly get thousands of people added in your mailing list at the touch of a button, it is quite a wasteful practice. <strong>Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>This kind of practice is quite unethical to follow<\/li>\n<li>Why would you want to send emails about your product\/service to someone who isn\u2019t at all interested in buying from you?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Like we said before, email marketing is 2-way communication.
