A good email marketing strategy is made up of many different types of email for both B2B and B2C businesses. The more targeted and personalized those campaigns are, the better the results you’ll see.
But in order to achieve this, you have to understand—and fall in love with—your data, the foundation of all high-performing email strategies.
Once you understand what data you have available in your business and what you’d love to have in the future (as well as how to get it!), you can start to understand all the opportunities it opens up. You can schedule emails at times that are relevant to your subscribers (based on their behavior, for example). You can personalize your content suggest products, content or services that are right for that individual subscriber, at the right time.
In this class, we’ll explore all the different types of data you already have available to you. We’ll help you see what’s missing and show you how you can add it in the future. We’ll also look at:
- The top-level legal considerations of gathering data for marketing
- How you can start to break up lists to create targeted segments for your campaigns
- How to trigger automated campaign series
- How to add relevant content to your emails
- How your manual and automated campaigns sit in the customer lifecycle.
- How you can use email to better serve customers throughout their lifecycle to increase your results.
Regardless of which email platform (ESP) or vendor you currently use (or may decide to move to), this class offers system-agnostic training. The concepts you learn will help guide your strategy and help you to make platform decisions that will better personalize and automate your campaigns.
