2. Build Relationships
3. Up sell and Cross sell
4. Collect Customer feedback
5. Generate High ROI(Return on Investment)

Surveys show that E-mail marketing is generating $50 in business
for every $1 spent.

A good CTA(Call to Action) usually leads to a response within 48 hours.

An E-Mail should:
1. Direct Action
2. Get to the point fast.
3. Call to Action (CTA)

E-Mail Content Should:
1. Hook them fast.
2. Back up the hook.
3. Keep it short.

5. Be Repetitious. Repetition sells.

Use the Rule of Three:

The Subject line of an E-Mail should:

2. Convey a benefit of reading the e-mail.
3. Avoid using “Free”, “Amazing”, “Cash Bonus”
4. Be short: 35 characters maximum.
5. Add urgency.

The First line of the E-Mail should:
1. Clearly express main point.
2. Encourage reader to read the e-mail.

The Final sentence of the E-Mail should:
1. Repeat the call to action.

The Call to Action (CTA) should:
1. Be benefit driven.
2. CTA should be on top, middle and at the end of the e-mail.
3. The more CTA’s the more responses.
