Email marketing has many benefits. This is the highest ROI among all channels of direct communication, and interaction with customers, for which you don’t need to pay extra. But many companies make typical mistakes that nullify all efforts to develop it.

The more competently email marketing is conducted, the more profit it brings. We have prepared a selection of the most common mistakes that are made when launching mailing lists. We tell you what they lead to, how to avoid them and not miss the profit.

1. Underestimating the Power of Headlines 

The headline creates the first impression and determines open rates. Choosing the right title can arouse the client’s interest, or vice versa, make him doubt the importance of the email and ignore it.

Solution

 Try to write short and bright titles. Three-word headlines give the best customer engagement metrics.

 The word “free” in the headlines kills the conversion and reduces engagement by 4%

 Too much creativity in headlines confuses readers. It is better to clearly explain to the audience what you are offering in the email, without obfuscating metaphors or buzzwords.

2. Inconsistency between the subject line and the text of the email

The subject line of your email speaks volumes. The subject line of your email says a lot. Some experts use this trick without hesitation, in pursuit of high open rates. This works but is frustrating for users when they open the email and see the subject line and body text mismatch. They will consider this manipulation, mark such emails as spam and unsubscribe. Moreover, they will no longer trust your brand.
