Email
promotion is the ideal medium for internet marketing.
Not only is it extremely cost effective, but it
also returns results that direct mail marketing
can only dream of.
The
most important aspect of email marketing using internet
marketing is that the email list must be of quality.
There are several reasons for this. Firstly the
fact that many email and internet service providers
now intercept irregular emails and class them as
Spam (a generic term for emails that are sent randomly
to people and 99.99% of the time are totally useless
and very untargeted - most often the messages for
these types of email are pornographic or illegal
medicines). The other main reason for using a well
targeted list is to get the best response from the
email campaign.

give control back to the recipient, this
is in fact one of the most important and
powerful aspect of effective email promotional
internet marketing. As soon as the emails
recipient sees that it is possible to delete
themselves from the email marketing list,
it in itself adds weight to the reliability
and legitimacy of the email. This is also
a must have in the new generation of sophisticated
email promotional internet marketing services
as it will distinguish your email from the
other less sophisticated and crude emails.
Email
promotional internet marketing can be
greatly increased in effectiveness by following
some of the following key points:-
1.
ensure your subject line is to the point, relevant
and has a big enough impact to make the recipient
want to open the email – if the subject is
nothing to do with the email content most users
will immediately delete the email as they will treat
it as spam and may block your emails in the future.
2. do not use too many images. The chances are that
the emails you send may now be opened in PDA’s
or a mobile phone, so too many graphics will not
be effective in communicating your message.
3. keep the message short and simple. Too much text
will ensure the recipient never finishes the email.
If the message is short and concise the recipient
will be more than happy to click on a link to find
out more information.
4. send a text format message as well as html. This
ensures the message will be readable by any media.
