Overloading Your Customers with Information<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a world that&#8217;s already overwhelmed with information, the last thing you want to do is introduce more \u201cnoise.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyzowl.com\/human-attention-span\/#\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consumers\u2019 attention span has shrunk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by over 25% between 2000 and 2015. In 2000, you had about 12 seconds to grab somebody\u2019s attention before they moved on.

If your strategy so far has been to cram <\/span><b>25 new products<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into a single email, it\u2019s time to make changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of long, content-heavy emails, you want to make sure <\/span><b>every word counts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so your email doesn\u2019t get deleted after a few seconds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This raises another <\/span><b>question<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: how long is the ideal marketing email? A study by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.boomerangapp.com\/2016\/02\/7-tips-for-getting-more-responses-to-your-emails-with-data\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boomerang<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> showed that the ideal marketing email length is between <\/span><b>50-125 words<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Emails of that length have <\/span><b>response rates above 50%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while anything shorter or longer starts showing a decline in response rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping an email short also improves its <\/span><b>readability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>scannability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 which you can improve even more by using:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bullet points,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bold fonts,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and plenty of white space.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, when it comes to email marketing, <\/span><b>less is often more<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An email is an invitation for further interaction \u2013 engage your customers once and they\u2019re more likely to <\/span><b>continue engaging<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by visiting your website or making a purchase.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Sending Emails at the Wrong Time<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timing marketing emails might not seem such an important consideration \u2014 after all, does it really matter if you reach out to customers on a Monday or a Tuesday? Well, turns out it does.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/business.adobe.com\/blog\/basics\/the-best-time-to-send-emails\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GetResponse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> analyzed <\/span><b>four billion emails<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it found that clicks and open rates were higher on Mondays and Tuesdays but click-to-open ratios were <\/span><b>best on Saturdays and Sundays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. More research from Klaviyo found Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Mondays to be the best days (in that order).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time seems to matter as well. The peak time for <\/span><b>click-through rate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and email opening was either around <\/span><b>10 am<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or between <\/span><b>3 pm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>4 pm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this can change depending on your <\/span><b>audience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 those working in offices might be more likely to check their emails once they get to work, while stay-at-home moms might check while getting ready to send the kids to school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So always think of your audience when <\/span><b>scheduling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an email campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Ignoring Mobile Users<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We live in a mobile-first world and ignoring this would be one of the <\/span><b>biggest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> email marketing mistakes you can make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8496\" src=\"https:\/\/emaillistverify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/When-Marketing-Goes-Wrong-Top-9-Email-Marketing-Mistakes-8.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Over 46%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of people now <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drip.com\/blog\/email-marketing-statistics#\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open their email on mobile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This includes not only iPhones and Androids but also iPads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this important? Because this means you need to be optimizing for different screen sizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Leading e-commerce<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brands are already prioritizing mobile device optimization and you should too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to email marketing, this can take many forms, including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile-friendly design and templates for your email newsletters,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email CTAs that are easier to click,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and text that\u2019s easy to scan and read on a small screen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>6. Using Deceptive Subject Lines<\/h2>\n<p><b>First impressions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> matter, especially in email marketing. The subject line is what encourages people to click on and read an email, so it has to be good. <\/span><b>Clickbait<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or deceptive subject lines could hurt you more than you can imagine \u2014 and they can also lead to a <\/span><b>loss of trust<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to research shared by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invespcro.com\/blog\/email-subject-lines-statistics-and-trends\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invespcro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>69% of email recipients<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report emails as spam based solely on the subject line. So keep them concise, engaging, and truthful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of email subject lines that could be considered deceptive include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Last Chance to Save 50%!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Unless this is really the last chance to get something at a half-off price, this is misleading. You might get a pass the first time, but many subscribers will remember if a month later, the \u201clast chance\u201d sale is back again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exclusive Sneak Peek <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 Are you really providing exclusive access or a first look at a new product or service?

Don\u2019t lie to your customers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>7. Not Focusing on the Subject Line As You Should<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of subject lines, there\u2019s more to them than just keeping them honest. Think of your subject line as the &#8220;headline&#8221; of your email.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Win Goodbody, senior product manager at the Sitka Technology Group, explains that \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A subject line is like a newspaper headline, a title on a book\u2019s spine, or the key slogan of a print media ad. It tells the user what this is all about. And it should do so in sparkling style, seamlessly channeling your brand<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your <\/span><b>subject line<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can determine whether your email gets <\/span><b>opened<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so make sure you spend some time creating an effective one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>8. Not Testing Emails<\/h2>\n<p><b>A\/B testing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, also known as split testing, allows you to uncover what type of email marketing works best for your audience, from subject lines to CTA placement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only about <\/span><b>59% of companies<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/abdalslam.com\/a-b-testing-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">perform email A\/B tests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, though, which means that many companies are missing out on a great opportunity to understand what triggers users to click on links.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A\/B testing for email marketing doesn\u2019t have to be complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You just need to create two versions of your email, then split your email list into two equal groups and send the emails out. To make the most of the <\/span><b>testing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, keep the differences between emails small.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either change the <\/span><b>subject line<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the <\/span><b>CTA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the <\/span><b>length<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the email \u2014 but not all of these things at once or you won\u2019t be able to determine which one is improving your email campaign.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>9. Not Having a Clear Call to Action (CTA)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you want customers or clients to do after reading your marketing email? Buy something?
