We\u2019re all familiar with<\/strong> (and focused on) our email open rates. Convincing the receiver to open the email we\u2019ve carefully crafted and sent at just the right time is one thing. Getting them to take an action is a better thing. After all \u2013 the point of any email we send to our list is to generate a response (a click, a sale, an answer to a question, etc.).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That \u201caction\u201d<\/strong> is measured as the CTR or Click Through Rate. It\u2019s a much better measurement to use in evaluating the success of our email marketing program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What should we be focusing on to improve our Click Through Rates?<\/h3>\n

[1] Subject Line:<\/strong> A carefully worded, big, bold headline that directly connects to your offer can increase CTR by around 18% according to Marketing Profs Master Class instructor Jay Schwedelson.<\/p>\n

[2] Email Design:<\/strong> The design of your email template should be reflective of your brand \u2013 it\u2019s the \u201cpackaging\u201d for your marketing message.<\/p>\n

[3] Body Copy:<\/strong> Write in an engaging voice and include as much personality, and personalization as possible \u2013 while staying on brand.<\/p>\n

[4] Offer:<\/strong> Present your offer in an engaging manner \u2013 it should solve a problem (they may not even know they have).<\/p>\n
