Email design & messaging1
No recipient name
Starting first line with closed question &
playing guessing the game
Call to action right at the bottom of email. Unclear messaging
Email design & messaging1
Email length and deliverability issues.1.1
Email is clipped short due to excessive HTML code and large images. Gmail gives option to
view online but android and other devices to not… This affects the senders IP address
rating.
Email is 4 times the length of the fold.
Research has shown that 67% of people will not
scroll down to find information below the
fold. CTA and key massage must be
conveyed within a space of roughly 600x459px.
Email design & messaging1
How can we track a prospects engagement with this email?1.2
From the use of social sign in we should be able to track more
details from our prospects and attain further profiling
information.
From the links click by prospects in the section of the email we can
determine the kind of content they may be interested in receiving in the
future and feed them into an automated content campaign.
A comprehensive drip campaign should be built out around the
jobs prospects click on. Will outline in detail on slide 7.
Drip campaign proposal2
First Internet world email
Download CMS report of CV uploaders. If prospect has not uploaded CV send reminder
email specifically about the role they clicked on.
Request a call from one of our consultants. Short email noting fact prospect has previously opened email with short CTA for call request.
Rest for 40 days before further
contact
If still no application we can be assumptive and assume they are interested in within that sector so send them an email stating “you recently view out Email marketing
coordinator role and we though you should defiantly check out some of these other
fantastic positions”
Short email copy offering the chance to upload CV on website so that we
can personalise our service and make sure that we are only provided
info on the most current and relevant jobs.
Send email with different opening paragraph and plain
text version to try and determine whether spam filters
cause issue.
Last chance to apply for Email marketing executive! Add urgency
and off call from one of our consultants to try and match them
with their perfect position.
Opened & Clicked link
Did not open email
Opened no click
Resend same email with different subject line (why duplicate effort for an email that has never been seen?
What have we learnt? Maybe prospect doesn’t respond to company sender ID’s. Try sending directly from consultants personal email address. Different time of day to send email? All of these ideas can be put into practice after data has rested.
Just a remainder… Did any of the jobs in our last email take you fancy?
If opened we can put prospects into list that will only receive plain text emails going forward.
Prospects who didn’t attend get a message clearly
acknowledging this fact adding credibility.
Prospects who did attend get a more friendly and welcoming email but the personalisation instantly creates engagement
and credibility.
Dynamic Content3
From personal experience in current company this simple personalisation has increased click through rate on average by 16% and reduce unsubscribe rate by 33.2%.
Using completion actions4
Allows prospects who complete a particular action in an email to be taken on a variety of different journeys as the drop list to the left presents.
Can choose from a variety of different actions such as if a prospect opens of clicks.
A/B testing5Huge drop in open rate
performance. Subject link, sender and copy are all identical so this clearly
represents a deliverability issue with the HTML
template.
Other tests to be considered are: Subject line, length of copy
+ writing style, different from address, various HTML
template designs such as less images, smaller top banners,
different use of color and quantity of links. These are just
a few possibilities!
Ways of collecting data6
Page tracking Website landing page tracking
Website CV uploads
Social sign in
Other sources may include: Trade shows/conferences, data purchasing, content led lead nurturing from protected site content, dedicated list builders e.g Procoms, ect and not forgetting collecting and enriching pre-existing data
Examples of previous drip campaign projects
7
Example of simple introduction drip campaign for new prospect who have signed up to website for the first time. The idea here is not to send
promotional information rich content to try and engage and earn the right to promote a product or service to prospect.
Very complex drip program (arguably over complicated) designed to take segmented
areas of our customer database through an 8 week cycle to promote a particular
webinar. Results of this when put into action have
been a 41% increase in webinar registrants while
reducing unsubscribe rates by 0.8% (Current company
average is 0.18%)
