Make Your Email… Personal!

A “Hi, Maria!” is nice, but we can do better. Use smart personalization: recommend products your user has already viewed, send offers that match their purchases, and make every email feel like it was written just for them.

Write Subject Lines That Stop the Scroll!

If the subject line doesn’t make them hit “Open,” your email has already failed. Try smart tricks like:

  • Using numbers: “3 tips to boost your sales!”
  • Shocking stats: “70% of emails go to trash – What about yours?”
  • FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): “Only today – Don’t miss out!”

Mobile First – Or Get Lost!

60% of emails are opened on mobile. If your email looks like a ’90s newspaper on a small screen, no one will read it. Keep it short & sweet, with big CTA buttons and a clean layout.

A/B Testing: Don’t Assume, Test!

Gut feeling isn’t enough. Send two versions (A & B) of your email to a small sample, see which one performs better, and then send the winner to the rest. Science, not luck!

Create an “Oh No, It’s About to Expire!” Feeling

People react to urgency. Add countdowns, deadlines, and phrases like Only 24 hours left!” or “Last chance!” to make them act fast.

CTA That Pushes Action!

Don’t make readers guess. Tell them exactly what to do:

  • “Download the free eBook now!”
  • “Get 20% off – Click here!”
  • “Check out our exclusive offer!”

Email Sequences/Automations: The Secret of Successful Marketers

One email isn’t enough! Set up automated email sequences to welcome new users, remind them of abandoned carts, and keep them engaged without extra effort.

Clean Your List – Or Waste Money!

You have thousands of subscribers, but how many open your emails? If some are inactive, re-engage them with a “We miss you!” email or clean up your list for better results.

Show Social Proof – Everyone Wants It!

People follow the crowd. Add reviews, testimonials, case studies, and show your subscribers that others are already loving your product/service.

Analytics, Data & Continuous Improvement!

Don’t send emails blindly. Track open rates, click rates, conversion rates, and adapt. Email marketing is a marathon, not a sprint!

FAQ

How can we build a high-quality email list from scratch?

An email list isn’t just data — it’s a community. And if you’re trying to ‘build’ one, forget bricks and mortar. Think roots, water, and light.

Start by giving, not grabbing. A quiz that says ‘we get you.’ A lead magnet that solves a real problem before you even ask for an email. People don’t want bait — they want value.

Use signup strategies that invite trust, not tricks. Ask what they want to receive. Greet them like real people — with names, relevance, and content that respects their time.

Because a truly valuable list isn’t something you collect. It’s something you grow — with trust, value, and human connection at its core.

Which email marketing platform is right for us — Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or HubSpot?

This isn’t about brand names — it’s about brand identity. You’re not just choosing a platform; you’re choosing your co-pilot in the inbox battlefield.

Running lean and fast with simple needs? Mailchimp is like a Swiss army knife — light, intuitive, and gets the job done. Focused on eCommerce? Klaviyo is your secret weapon. It doesn’t just send emails — it predicts behaviors. Need an all-in-one HQ for marketing, sales, and CRM? HubSpot is a command center that sees the big picture and ties everything together.

So before picking a tool, ask the better question: “What’s our email marketing DNA?” That’s where your real answer lives.

How often should we send emails without becoming annoying?

Think of the inbox like a party. No one likes the person who talks nonstop. But no one remembers the one who showed up once and ghosted either. Frequency isn’t a number — it’s a rhythm.

Email too often, and you’re noise. Too rarely, and you’re invisible. The goal isn’t presence. It’s anticipation.

The sweet spot? Email when you have something to say — not just something to send. Create a cadence that matches your audience’s flow: a weekly update they expect, a monthly story that inspires, a welcome series that builds relationship.

Remember: We’re not counting emails. We’re building moments they look forward to. If they’re waiting for you — you’ve already won.
