A little about me
There are 20,000 dots on this page, that is the number of hours that I have worked in email marketing for. Apparently it is also the number of hours it takes to become an expert in any given field so that’s why I’m talking to you today.

Retaining – bloody important!

And a terrible brand experience
49% consumers make a point of NOT buying certain
brands or services.
81% of these attribute their reason to a bad personal experience with the brand
or its representatives.
Once people have unsubscribed they are highly unlikely to sign up again so make sure they have a good brand experience.

How not to reduce unsubscribe rates
Don’t make it difficult for people to unsubscribe.

How to maintain engagement
I hate to be cliché but...
Deliver engaging content which recipients want to read.
They want to hear from the team, involve:
Product Development Buyers Sales – they always have a view Dispatch Customer services Whoever are the experts in your field User Generated Content

Don’t over send
How often can I send an email?
Do you have anything new to say?
![Page 10: Building your email marketing lists](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051411/5467f076af7959b65d8b5ca5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ask them what they want
Send them surveys or anything else to show them you care

Great ways to do this:
• Link to last newsletter
![Page 14: Building your email marketing lists](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051411/5467f076af7959b65d8b5ca5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Great ways to do this:
• Tell them how often you will contact them
![Page 15: Building your email marketing lists](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051411/5467f076af7959b65d8b5ca5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Great ways to do this:
• Talk about frequency
“I am really glad the newsletter is back. I missed the informative wit, erudite tips, and easy links to fascinating facts.”
“Thanks for your newsletter. I enjoy your commentaries and insights tremendously. You have given me information on books which I have purchased and enjoyed.”

On boarding – so so key
Get them on board while they really care about your brand and are most engaged, the first stage of this is to send them a welcome email.

Aggressive – does it pay off?
Try using a new technique which highlights the form using Jarva script. Success depends on the brand and how aggressive you are.

Two stages
40% of visitors will complete a signup form if they perceive a benefit in doing so. Provide a small incentive at the second stage to increase completion rates.
