So you've added email marketing as a part of your marketing strategy. Maybe you've been doing it for some time. While having an email strategy is a great first step, it's important to keep optimizing so that your campaigns really resonate with your target audience. Here are 5 things you should keep in mind when developing your next email marketing campaign.
1. Choose an email service. Managing an email strategy can be a lot of work. Email services like Constant Contact, MailChimp, and a number of other providers make it much easier. They give you the ability to design, schedule, and track emails that you are sending out.
2. Rethink your subject lines. As soon as your email lands in someone's inbox, it needs to grab their attention. The subject line is the perfect place to do just that. When writing your subject line, make sure it's relevant to your audience and to the email, and use actionable language.
We asked Senior Account Manager Anne-Stuart some marketing questions. Here's what she had to say....
1. What's one thing you think every business should know about marketing?
A general understanding of analytics. You don't need to be a data nerd, but having a working knowledge of how your campaigns are performing is important. Learning to identify some key metrics will allow you to have a handle on if your various marketing efforts are working.
2. What's your go-to strategy if a client is struggling to reach their target audience?
I like a combination of SEO and Google Ads. I think SEO is one of the most important marketing efforts any business can invest in, but it takes time to see results. That's where Google Ads (or pay per click) comes in. Google Ads allows you to bid on keywords you know will produce a qualified user and I love manipulating the ad strategy to see results.
A strong local presence is essential to small businesses that operate on a regional level. By focusing on local SEO, you can prioritize appearing on search engine results pages (SERPs) in a specific location instead of nationally. If your business goal is to dominate a specific market in a certain area, local search engine optimization should be an important piece of your marketing strategy.
Local SEO has become even more essential in the last decade with so many consumers armed with mobile and tablet devices. Consumers are looking for businesses when they're on the go. In fact, Google estimates that 35% of all search traffic is local and proximity is one of the three major ranking signals for search results.
If you're trying to improve your business's local SEO, here are our top 5 tips:

As a business, it is important to consider the user experience of your digital channels. Even if you think they look great, consider them from a consumer's point of view. This will give you a better understanding of what the average person sees when they land on your website.
