Email marketing is that trusted friend that’s been around forever and will never let you down. You can always turn to it when you need some help. Plus, it gives you a whopping average ROI of 3,800%. That’s $38 for every $1 invested. 

Today, we’re talking to Matthew Montoya, the partner enablement and training manager at Constant Contact. He has helped consult more than 13,000 businesses on email marketing best practices. Email has been around a long time, but Matthew describes current trends and what works today. 

Some of the highlights of the show include: 

  • People who give you their email address are expressing interest in your business
  • Quantify the value of your email list by multiplying the size of your list by the price point of the average they sell to get a dollar figure
  • Biggest change in email marketing over the last seven years is mobile readership; 51% of business/non-profit emails will be opened on a mobile device
  • People used to spent 35-40 seconds reading an email; now it’s 5 seconds
  • Emails need to be succinct, make an impression, and include a call to action
  • Think of an email not as a massage, but an advertisement where people see the information, act on it, and go to your Website or elsewhere to learn more
  • Every contact matters and can produce money for your company
  • The more targeting and testing you do, the better your responses
  • HTML vs. Plain Text: Depends on your audience, but concise HTML emails usually generate higher, better responses
  • Preview email messages to see how they display on different devices
  • Know your audience to know what content they will find valuable and relevant
  • Constant Contact’s Marketing Pillars: Segmentation, personalization, automation
  • People look first at who sent an email, rather than the subject line; email should come “from” the brand
  • Test subject lines to avoid repetition and make sure they grab readers’ attention
  • Explore all marketing options across platforms - all work together to share a story
