6 Marketing Email Tips to Drive Conversions

Email marketing can be a creative and effective tool for engaging with your potential leads, building relationships, and driving conversions. However, if your emails are poorly executed, they can end up in the spam folder or even be deleted, so it's important to follow best practices for email marketing in HubSpot. Check out the list below for the top six tips for improving your HubSpot email game. 

Segment Your Audience

One-size-fits-all emails aren’t always the best way to engage with your potential customers. To get the most out of your email campaigns, you should segment your audience based on their interests, preferences, and behavior. If you’ve created buyer personas, tailoring emails to each persona could also be a helpful tactic. This allows you to send more targeted and engaging emails to your target audience.

Personalize Your Emails

Personalization is key to creating engaging emails. When you personalize your emails using HubSpot’s personalization tokens, you make them more relevant to the recipient and increase the chances of them opening and engaging with the email. An email with a personalized subject line or opening sentence feels more personal and less robotic than standard boilerplate text. In HubSpot, you can customize your subject lines, greetings, and even signatures to make your emails feel more friendly and personal.

Use a Clear and Compelling Subject Line

Speaking of subject lines, your subject line is the first thing your recipients will see when they receive your email. That's why it's key to make it clear, concise, and compelling. Your subject line should convey the value of the email and encourage the recipient to open it. Avoid using clickbait or misleading subject lines since this can damage your credibility and result in unsubscribes.

Use an Engaging Design

Plain text emails are fine for some purposes, but they are not very eye-catching for new potential leads. A well-designed email can encourage readers to click on CTAs, open links, and generally spend more time reading the email’s content. On the other hand, plain text emails can be boring and even run the risk of looking like spam. 

Keep Your Content Concise

People's attention spans are getting shorter, so it's essential to keep your content quick and concise. (Thanks, TikTok…) Use clear and simple language, and break up your content with headings, subheadings, and bullet points to make it easier to skim.

Include a Clear Call-to-Action

Your email should have a clear call-to-action that tells the recipient what you want them to do next. Whether it's to visit your website, sign up for a free trial, or subscribe to a membership, your call-to-action should be prominent, eye-catching, and easy to click.

Following these email marketing best practices can help you create effective and engaging emails that resonate with your audience and encourage long term client-partner relationships. So go ahead and put these best practices to work in your email marketing campaigns today!
