Do you have a list of prospective customers that you email regularly? If you have a good strong email list of people who've opted to receive your emails, and you're managing that list well, your next challenge is creating valuable content they will want to receive.
If you don't generate valuable content, your customers will slowly stop opening your emails, and eventually people will start unsubscribing from your list. Everyone gets a lot of email these days and they're selective about what they pay attention to. Your emails need to be engaging, interesting, and valuable to your readers so when they see your name in their inbox, they'll immediately click "open."
What are some ways you can spice up your content to make it interesting?
1) Email newsletters. Use email newsletters to give your subscribers something interesting to read. You can have Q&As with company experts, industry information, little tips and tricks for success, and more. Inspirational quotes are also very popular with readers. Your email newsletter should also include a little bonus for those who open it, like a 10% discount on a product or service, or some other kind of reward. Email newsletters are also a great way to "soft sell" something. You can give information on the product, in a low-key way, and then offer a discount to anyone who purchases the product from a link in your newsletter.
2) Coupons and discounts. Who doesn't want to save money these days! Start sending your subscribers little discounts and bonuses, and even though they won't take advantage of every single one, they will almost never unsubscribe, because you're giving them free money.
3) White papers. White papers are just documents that give a more extensive look at a particular subject. You can't send a white paper in an email, because it's too long, but you can send a link or a summary that encourages subscribers to go further. Anyone with some knowledge and a little bit of writing ability can write a white paper - just make sure it's something your readers will find interesting.
4) Product highlights. If you offer products that your readers are devoted to, you can make a whole email out of this. Html emails are a great way to do this, since you can use pictures, design elements, and text together. Highlight particular products, build a theme around a group of products, or show off your newest and latest offerings.
