Keywords

💡电子邮件营销

电子邮件营销是一种通过发送电子邮件来推广产品或服务的网络营销方式。在视频中,它被强调为商业中非常重要的一部分,因为全球有43亿电子邮件用户,占地球人口的一半以上。视频指出,与社交媒体平台相比,电子邮件营销相对简单直接。

💡用户列表构建

构建用户列表是电子邮件营销的第一步。视频建议不要购买或租赁电子邮件列表,因为这可能导致低打开率、品牌形象受损,甚至可能面临隐私保护机构的重罚。相反,应该通过提供有价值的内容或服务来吸引用户自愿提供他们的电子邮件地址。

💡列表维护

列表维护是电子邮件营销中保持用户列表健康的关键步骤。这包括定期清除那些弹回的电子邮件地址或从不打开邮件的地址。视频中提到,每六个月到一年清理一次列表是一个好规则,这有助于提高邮件的参与度和避免邮件被标记为垃圾邮件。

💡内容价值

在电子邮件营销中,发送有价值的内容是吸引用户打开和阅读邮件的关键。视频提到,平均办公人员每天收到大约120封电子邮件,因此,提供能够改善他们生活或提供有用信息的内容是脱颖而出的方式。

💡订阅确认

订阅确认是用户在提供电子邮件地址后,通过点击发送到他们邮箱的自动化邮件中的链接来确认订阅的过程。视频中提到,双重订阅确认更为有效,因为它不仅防止用户给出假电子邮件,而且还训练他们的电子邮件应用识别来自你的高质量信息。

💡分割

分割是指将电子邮件列表划分为更小的群体,以便向每个群体发送特定于他们兴趣的内容。视频中提到,分割可以基于人口统计数据,如位置、公司规模,或者任何对业务重要的其他因素。行为分割是基于用户之前与品牌的互动进行分组,如以前的购买、生命周期阶段和客户忠诚度。

💡触发型电子邮件

触发型电子邮件是根据用户的具体行为自动发送的电子邮件。视频中提到,77%的电子邮件营销投资回报来自这类分割的、针对性的触发型电子邮件活动。这些邮件能够及时响应用户的需求,提供他们感兴趣的内容。

💡主题行

主题行是电子邮件的标题,它在吸引用户打开邮件方面起着至关重要的作用。视频中建议,主题行应该简洁明了,能够在50个字符以内激发客户的兴趣,并且不要在主题行中透露所有信息,以保持一定的神秘感。

💡预览文本

预览文本是电子邮件正文中首先被预览的几句话,它支持主题行并在收件箱中显示。视频中提到,大多数电子邮件营销系统允许在输入主题行时设置预览文本,这样你就不必担心更改实际的邮件正文。

💡A/B测试

A/B测试是一种比较两个或多个版本(如电子邮件主题行)以确定哪个表现更好的方法。视频中提到,通过A/B测试主题行,你可以从每次发送的邮件中学到一些东西,为下一次的邮件提供指导。

💡垃圾邮件触发词

垃圾邮件触发词是那些可能使电子邮件被邮件服务提供商标记为垃圾邮件的词汇。视频中提到,HubSpot维护了一个避免在电子邮件文案中使用的垃圾邮件触发词的列表,并建议在发送邮件之前使用垃圾邮件检查工具来确保邮件通过过滤器。

- Are we really just gonna sit here

play00:02

and pretend that email marketing

play00:03

isn't one of the most important parts of your business?

play00:06

We are?

play00:08

Oh, okay.

play00:11

For everyone else, though,

play00:13

the data tells us that there are 4.3 billion, with a B

play00:17

email users worldwide.

play00:19

With literally more than half of the planet using email,

play00:21

your business can't afford

play00:22

to not have an email marketing strategy.

play00:24

And unlike those social media platforms

play00:26

with their confusing features

play00:28

and constantly changing algorithm,

play00:30

and no one liking your posts for whatever reason,

play00:32

email marketing is relatively straightforward.

play00:34

What's up?

play00:35

I'm Jamal from HubSpot.

play00:36

In this video,

play00:37

I'm gonna teach you the basics of email marketing,

play00:38

setting you up with a foundation for success

play00:40

that can last for years.

play00:42

If you find this useful, be sure to like this video

play00:44

and subscribe to the HubSpot YouTube channel.

play00:46

(lighthearted music)

play00:49

So, how do you become a master email marketer?

play00:52

Put simply, it's divided into three steps.

play00:55

One, build your list.

play00:57

Two, maintain the health of that list,

play00:59

and three, email a list with valuable content every time.

play01:03

Let's start by building your list.

play01:05

When building your email list,

play01:06

there's really one rule and one rule only,

play01:09

and that's never buy or rent a list.

play01:12

And actually there are more rules,

play01:13

but let's just focus on that one for now.

play01:15

Buying or renting an email list can lead to low open rates,

play01:18

bad brand appearance,

play01:19

and even hefty fines from privacy protection agencies.

play01:22

So, what should you do to build up a quality email list?

play01:25

Well, here at HubSpot,

play01:26

we built our email list by producing free eBooks

play01:29

that users discovered when searching for topics

play01:30

like introduction to data visualization

play01:32

or how to become an influencer.

play01:34

Maybe you can offer a free trial of your service

play01:36

or an online seminar, or other experience.

play01:38

Whatever you offer,

play01:40

it needs to be something valuable enough to convince users

play01:42

to part with their personal email information.

play01:44

In addition to the landing page,

play01:46

most websites will let you place a pop-up to collect email.

play01:49

Set one to appear

play01:50

after the user has spent some time on your site,

play01:52

which indicates that they're receiving value

play01:54

and might be open to more information.

play01:56

And if your business involves online ordering,

play01:58

make sure customers are prompted to opt into your email list

play02:01

when making a purchase.

play02:02

Why is it important that users opt-in?

play02:05

Well, having users opt-in means they want to hear from you.

play02:08

It also keeps you compliant with ever stricter

play02:10

anti-spam policies being implemented by governments,

play02:13

as well as email services themselves.

play02:15

A double opt-in is even more effective

play02:17

since it requires the user to open and click

play02:19

an automated email they receive when signing up.

play02:21

This not only prevents users from giving fake emails,

play02:24

but it also trains their email app

play02:26

to recognize quality messages from you.

play02:28

And with that...

play02:30

(spam cackles)

play02:30

we just launched a spam folder.

play02:32

Way to go.

play02:33

How you go about building your email list

play02:34

will set the stage for future success,

play02:36

but just as important is how you maintain your list.

play02:39

This means periodically scrubbing your email list

play02:41

to remove emails that bounce

play02:43

or addresses that never open your emails.

play02:45

A good rule of thumb is to scrub your list

play02:47

every six to 12 months.

play02:49

You might be wondering,

play02:50

"What's the harm in emailing people

play02:52

"who don't open them, right?

play02:55

"I should be able to do that, right?"

play02:56

Well, another metric that email algorithms use

play02:59

to determine if something is spam is the engagement ratio.

play03:02

The more you send emails that never get opened,

play03:04

the more likely the email services

play03:06

will eventually categorize your emails as spam.

play03:09

Make sense?

play03:09

The good news is that despite these increasing obstacles

play03:12

to email deliverability,

play03:13

the overall value of email marketing

play03:15

is actually on the rise.

play03:17

In 2010, Digital Marketing Association

play03:19

put the return on email marketing

play03:20

at $40 for every dollar spent.

play03:22

By 2019, that return increased to $42

play03:25

for every dollar spent.

play03:26

Why has the ROI gone up?

play03:28

Because I'm opening everyone's emails for them.

play03:31

No, but actually though,

play03:31

a major reason is an increased use of segmentation

play03:34

in email marketing.

play03:35

Segmentation means dividing your email list

play03:37

into smaller groups

play03:38

so that you can send each segment,

play03:40

content-specific to their interests.

play03:41

You can segment your list by demographic data

play03:44

like location, company size,

play03:45

or anything else that's important for your business.

play03:48

So the real email ninjas

play03:49

use what's called behavioral segmentation,

play03:51

which is grouping

play03:52

based on how the user previously interacted with your brand.

play03:54

Things like previous purchases, lifecycle stages,

play03:57

and customer loyalty.

play03:58

Creating triggered email flows for specific behaviors

play04:01

allow you to be responsive to your user's needs.

play04:03

So, it's no wonder that 77% of email marketing ROI

play04:06

comes from these sorts of segmented,

play04:08

targeted trigger campaigns.

play04:10

It's the best tool for giving your audience

play04:11

the valuable content they'll want to open

play04:13

because they know it's tailored to their interests.

play04:16

And that... that's inbound baby,

play04:18

which brings us to our final step

play04:20

in mastering email marketing.

play04:21

Send valuable emails.

play04:24

The average office worker

play04:25

receives around 120 emails per day.

play04:28

That is many.

play04:30

Out of that 120,

play04:31

40 are important business emails that require response.

play04:35

That leaves 80 other emails vying for attention.

play04:38

The only way to stand out

play04:39

is by having a super clickbait title for the subject line.

play04:43

That's a real tip, you should do that.

play04:45

(chuckles)

play04:46

No, the only actual way

play04:47

is to stand out by offering something

play04:49

your subscribers want to click on

play04:51

because it somehow improves their lives.

play04:52

Think about a company like OpenTable

play04:54

who uses subscriber's past behavior

play04:56

to offer useful discounts or recommend new restaurants,

play04:59

or Spotify who send regular emails,

play05:02

notifying users of new music by artists they follow.

play05:05

These are great examples of valuable emails

play05:07

that subscribers want to receive and are happy to open.

play05:11

One more useful tip.

play05:12

Whenever you're recommending something to your subscriber,

play05:15

be sure to remind them of the activity

play05:16

that triggered the recommendation.

play05:18

That way, they associate the good feeling

play05:21

of the previous experience with the new one you're offering.

play05:23

Now, when it comes to emails,

play05:25

conveying value starts with the subject line.

play05:28

This can mean literally telling the recipient

play05:30

what they'll get from opening the email,

play05:32

and try to do it in 50 characters or less.

play05:35

Use those 50 characters to peak the customer's interest.

play05:37

Don't give everything away upfront

play05:39

like me with Bobby Jenkins in the fourth grade,

play05:41

I gave him my Goku action figure and then he just,

play05:46

he didn't talk to me anymore after that.

play05:48

Leave a bit of mystery

play05:49

so they'll feel compelled to open the email to know more.

play05:52

Just be sure that whatever you tease in the subject line

play05:54

is actually delivered in the body of the email.

play05:56

No one likes deceptive, clickbaity subject lines,

play05:59

I was kidding before.

play06:01

And 69% of spam reports come from subject lines alone.

play06:04

So watch out.

play06:06

Now, you can also use the preheader.

play06:07

That is the first few words in the body of your email

play06:09

that get previewed in your inbox

play06:11

to support the subject line.

play06:13

Most email marketing systems

play06:14

will allow you to set the preheader

play06:15

when you enter the subject line

play06:17

so you don't have to worry about

play06:18

altering the actual body copy of your email.

play06:20

And always A/B test your subject line

play06:23

so that each email you send

play06:24

teaches you something for the next one.

play06:26

So, all the messages from your email list

play06:29

have been delivered,

play06:30

and thanks to your brilliant subject line and preheader,

play06:32

good job,

play06:33

folks are itching to read what you've sent them.

play06:35

So, what are you going to say?

play06:38

(lighthearted electronic music)

play06:41

Crafting killer email copy could be its own video.

play06:45

Until that time, here's some tips.

play06:47

Tip number one.

play06:48

Keep text neat and simple, with the main point upfront.

play06:52

Use short sentences with lots of paragraph breaks.

play06:55

Save those verbose think pieces for your blog,

play06:58

this is an email.

play06:59

Tip number two.

play07:00

Write for your audience.

play07:01

Remember those list segments we made?

play07:03

This is why they're so important.

play07:05

And tip number three, write in a friendly one-to-one style.

play07:08

This isn't just a good way to treat your customers,

play07:10

it also helps prevent your email

play07:11

from getting tagged as spam.

play07:13

And speaking of spam,

play07:15

HubSpot keeps an extensive list of spam trigger words

play07:18

that you should avoid when writing email copy.

play07:20

There will be a link in the video description below,

play07:22

and if you don't click on it,

play07:24

I'll be sent to the spam folder.

play07:25

You should also run your email through a spam task

play07:28

before sending it

play07:29

to make sure you're formatting, punctuation, and fonts

play07:32

all pass through the filters.

play07:33

There are plenty of free spam checkers online you can use.

play07:36

You'd be amazed how a few tiny tweaks

play07:39

can make a huge difference.

play07:41

So, when it comes to email marketing,

play07:43

sending valuable content in a compliant format

play07:45

to users who you know want to receive it

play07:48

will allow you to execute successful campaigns

play07:50

for years to come.

play07:51

Happy emailing.

play07:52

I'm off to the spam folder.

play07:55

Which...

play07:56

(burbles)

play07:58

I don't know why, that's like my I messed up sound,

play08:01

but it is and we're rolling.
