Be Clear about Your Email Copy Goals<\/h3>\n<p>You can use emails to accomplish a variety of goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sell your product or service.<\/li>\n<li>Build brand awareness.<\/li>\n<li>Get more subscribers for your newsletter.<\/li>\n<li>Invite people to your webinar.<\/li>\n<li>Drum up interest for a new product launch.<\/li>\n<li>Introduce new industry best practices, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, <strong>there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all email copy<\/strong> you can use to achieve these diverse goals.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if your goal is to nurture an inbound marketing lead, your email marketing copy should focus on slowly nurturing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/sales-leads\/\">sales lead<\/a> and shouldn\u2019t sound too salesy. But if your goal is outbound sales, your sales email copy should quickly build interest in your offerings.<\/p>\n<p><i>My point?<br \/>\n<\/i>Have a <b>specific <\/b>end goal in mind before you start email copywriting.<\/p>\n<p>Once you do, craft your email copy in such a way that every word in your email drives the reader towards fulfilling your end goal \u2014 be it sales, newsletter sign-ups, and so on.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Know Your Audience \u2014 Their Niche, Pain Points, and Aspirations<\/h3>\n<p>In email copywriting, \u201cwho\u201d you write to must inspire \u201cwhat\u201d you write.<\/p>\n<p>This means that you\u2019ll need a thorough understanding of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/guides\/2010\/06\/defining-your-target-market.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">target audience<\/a> to develop a strategy for effective email copywriting.<\/p>\n<p><i>But how do you understand the <\/i><i>target audience<\/i><i>?<br \/>\n<\/i>At the most basic level, you\u2019ll need a clear picture of the recipients\u2019:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Industry or niche.<\/li>\n<li>Pain points.<\/li>\n<li>Goals or aspirations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve nailed that, create detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/347886\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">buyer personas<\/a> showcasing some specific qualities your ideal buyers share. Buyer personas offer a deeper understanding of your target audience and help you create relevant email content that\u2019ll capture the recipients\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve used the plural <i>personas<\/i> here because your business may serve multiple customer segments.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re a marketer in a content marketing agency.<\/p>\n<p>One of your buyer personas can describe a CEO at a fintech company in San Francisco earning $1 million annually. Another buyer persona might be a small eCommerce business owner from Austin with $40,000 in profits.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Evoke Interest with Crisp, Clear, and Candid Subject Lines<\/h3>\n<p>No matter how good an email you\u2019ve crafted, it\u2019s not going to accomplish anything <strong>if the recipient doesn\u2019t even open your email<\/strong> in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a high chance that even your best email will go unnoticed because the recipient\u2019s inbox is probably flooded with emails just like yours.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why your email will need to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><i>How do you do that?<br \/>\n<\/i>Simple! You should write subject lines that are:<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Short and sweet: <\/b>since many recipients will likely read your email on a mobile device, keep the subject line length between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vfirst.com\/post\/importance-of-a-good-subject-line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">6-10 words<\/a>. Otherwise, it could get cut off.<\/li>\n<li><b>Personalized: <\/b>include the recipient\u2019s name and any other relevant details in your subject line to make it look tailor-made.<\/li>\n<li><b>Clear: <\/b>paint a clear picture of what your email is about in the subject line and avoid using bait-and-switch tactics that damage your credibility.<\/li>\n<li><b>Intriguing: <\/b>use a hard-to-ignore email subject line to capture the reader\u2019s attention and get them thinking about what\u2019s inside your email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, the <strong>subject line is your first touchpoint<\/strong> with the audience.<\/p>\n<p>It not only makes the first impression but also gives the prospect a preview of what to expect in the body of the email. Besides, your subject line sets the tone for the rest of your conversations with the recipient.<\/p>\n<p><i>Wondering what an excellent <\/i><i>email subject line<\/i><i> looks like?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples you can use for inspiration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn how [client name] improved their email deliverability by [X]% in a month<\/li>\n<li>Struggling with managing investor relations, [prospect\u2019s first name]?<\/li>\n<li>Here\u2019s a blog post revealing my secret behind [digital marketing milestone]<\/li>\n<li>How I made [company name] $[X] profit in [Y] months<\/li>\n<li>[Prospect\u2019s name], here\u2019s my complete guide to SEO in content marketing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>Take a look at <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/cold-email-subject-lines\/\"><b><i>43 <\/i><\/b><b><i>cold email<\/i><\/b> <b><i>subject lines<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> that get your emails opened.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>4. Keep Your Email Body Aligned and Relevant<\/h3>\n<p>Your prospect will form some expectations about the email body based on your subject line.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say your subject line talks about how you helped a client increase their revenue by $100,000 with a single email marketing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>When the recipient opens your marketing email, they expect to discover the tactics and email marketing strategy you\u2019ve used to accomplish that goal. In other words, your email body copy should align with the promise made in your subject line.<\/p>\n<p>But <strong>aligning the email body copy with the subject line<\/strong> is only the first step.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Establish credibility: <\/b>if you\u2019re sending a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/cold-email\">cold email<\/a>, establish at the get-go why you\u2019re the right person to approach about a specific topic. Also, featuring customer success stories in your outreach email goes a long way in building trust.<\/li>\n<li><b>Add value: <\/b>use your unique experiences and insights to enrich the prospect\u2019s life. Share a great example from your personal life, a relevant case study, or a helpful blog post in your email body.<\/li>\n<li><b>Eliminate objections: <\/b>your recipients won\u2019t readily agree with everything you say, so proactively address any possible concerns or objections in your email body.<\/li>\n<li><b>Personalize your message: <\/b>since generic messages look spammy and feel irrelevant, personalize your message based on the recipient\u2019s interests to resonate with them.<\/li>\n<li><b>Segue into the <\/b><b>CTA<\/b><b>: <\/b>your end goal is to make the recipient do something (for example, click a link to your landing page), so transition smoothly from the email body to your call to action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"#this\"><b>Go back to Contents<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>5. Craft a Compelling Call-to-Action Your Recipients Can\u2019t Resist<\/h3>\n<p>Your <strong>call to action can make or break your conversion rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If your CTA isn\u2019t compelling enough, a potential customer will move on to the next thing after reading your email message. And all the effort you put into crafting a valuable email goes down the drain when that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few pointers to help you create CTAs that can\u2019t be ignored:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Stick to a single <\/b><b>CTA<\/b><b>: <\/b>many marketers add several different CTAs, but that can overwhelm your reader. Instead, use a single, clear CTA in your email copy.<\/li>\n<li><b>Use actionable language:<\/b> a CTA should prompt action, so use a clear action word in your CTA. You can use an action word like \u201cexplore\u201d, \u201caccess\u201d, or \u201cgenerate\u201d based on your needs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Make the <\/b><b>CTA<\/b><b> personalized and specific: <\/b>a specific and customized CTA like \u201cStart your free trial today, [prospect\u2019s first name]\u201d speaks directly to the recipient and inspires action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, here\u2019s an email copy with a compelling CTA:<\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\">\n<p style=\"background-color: #444; color: white;\"><b style=\"margin: 25px;\"><i>Subject line : <\/i><i>Unlock more [your product\/service name] features with our [paid plan name]!<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 25px;\">\n<p><i>Hey [prospect\u2019s first name],<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>We hope you\u2019re loving the [free trial\/version] of [your product\/service name].<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know that our [paid plan name] offers more powerful features, like:<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>[Improved feature A]<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>[Improved feature B]<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>[Improved feature C]<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>You can also benefit from [benefit 1] and [benefit 2] by using [paid plan name]!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Do you find these functionalities useful?

Ensure That Your Entire Email Copy Stays On-Brand<\/h3>\n<p>Every conversation you have with your audience is an opportunity to showcase your brand.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial that your entire email copy \u2014 the subject line, email body, and CTA \u2014\u00a0 <strong>reflect your brand voice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And this brand voice will vary across businesses and industries.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re a fun soft drinks brand, your brand voice can be edgy and witty. You can insert a few cheeky jokes or playful puns in your email newsletter, and your audience will love it! It\u2019s exactly what they expect in your brand\u2019s email content.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can\u2019t use the same tone when email copywriting for a law firm. You\u2019d be expected to adopt a serious and professional tone in your email marketing campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Create Personalizable, Ready-to-Use Email Copy Templates<\/h3>\n<p>Crafting a great email copy from scratch every time you need to send an email campaign is impractical.<\/p>\n<p>A more efficient alternative is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/cold-email-templates\/\">create email templates<\/a> you can quickly customize with personalization data.<\/p>\n<p>This way, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Save time.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your email marketing copy on-brand.<\/li>\n<li>Deliver personalized experiences to your prospects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To help you out, here\u2019s a sample direct email template you can use as a reference:<\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\">\n<p style=\"background-color: #444; color: white;\"><b style=\"margin: 25px;\"><i>Subject line : <\/i><i>[<\/i><i>Prospect<\/i><i>\u2019s competitor] achieved [stunning goal] in [X] months \u2014 wondering how?<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 25px;\">\n<p><i>Hi [<\/i><i>prospect<\/i><i>\u2019s first name],<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>This is [your first name], and my job is to help companies in [<\/i><i>prospect<\/i><i>\u2019s industry\/niche] achieve:<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>[Goal A]<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>[Goal B]<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>[Goal C]<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>Recently, we helped [<\/i><i>prospect<\/i><i>\u2019s competitor] accomplish [stunning goal] \u2014 that too, in [X] months.

Edit Your Email Copy for Accuracy and Readability<\/h3>\n<p>After you\u2019re done writing the direct email copy, don\u2019t send it out immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, <strong>take a break and come back later to do a thorough round of editing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You should look for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stray punctuation.<\/li>\n<li>Vague phrases or sentences.<\/li>\n<li>Confusing repetitions.<\/li>\n<li>Inconsistencies in the brand voice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"9\">Essentially, ensure that your email content makes sense, has no errors, and reads well.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, you risk confusing the recipient, leaving a poor impression, and failing to achieve your end goal with the email copy.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Use A\/B Testing to Fine-Tune Your Email Copy<\/h3>\n<p>You may follow all the best practices \u2014 research your target audience, write clear copy that\u2019s on-brand, and edit your emails to the last letter \u2014 and still end up with not-so-great results.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean you should give up.<\/p>\n<p>Smart email marketers and copywriters know that email copywriting is at times <i>guessing<\/i>.<br \/>\nSome things you write just click, while others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><i>Is there a way to predict if your <\/i><i>email copy<\/i><i> will work?<br \/>\n<\/i>Sort of.<\/p>\n<p>Just <strong>AB test different versions of your email<\/strong> copies till you find a version with the kind of results you\u2019re aiming at.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is <\/b><b>A\/B testing<\/b><b>?<br \/>\n<\/b>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/features\/ab-testing-gmail\">A\/B testing<\/a> (or split testing), you split your audience into two groups and send them two different versions of an email copy to see which one performs better.
