Email Marketing Tactic #2: Cohesion

Email Marketing Tactic #2: Cohesion

An email marketing campaign is only a campaign if it has cohesion.  Recipients should easily see a progression.  The progression should be designed to provide expected content and lead recipients to a goal.  The most common goal is a conversion to a sale or a lead.

So how is cohesion attained?  The first is that content should be similar.  Is it an educational or informational campaign?  Pick a single focused topic, break it down into sub-topics, and fully cover each sub-topic.  Is it advertising?  Pick a single product or service.  Break the product or service into feature/benefits and fully cover each. Is it an invitation? Break down multiple invites and deliver them several times and with more urgency as the event date gets closer.

The beauty of email is that it lends itself perfectly to campaigns.  It’s easily and predictably delivered and remains affordable for multiple sends.  “Email blasts” that are one-time promotions never have as much impact as a campaign because a campaign builds credibility and focus.  A blast is a scatter-shot.  It makes a blind stab and then goes in a completely different direction and makes another stab.  It’s impossible to learn from metrics if the focus is constantly changing.  A campaign provides multiple opportunities for recipients to convert when their individual need is assessed.

    I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.

    Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

    Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!

    What version of IE are you using? Not seeing an overlap problem in my version?

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    First step is getting it set up. If you don’t want to buy a site and set up a blog there are free options like wordpress.com.
