Email is not dead! Even as other channels such as social media grow in importance, email marketing is still one of the best ways to directly reach your audience and keep them in the loop with what you’re up to.
On May 29th almost thirty arts presenters from across Canada tuned in for a last part of our four-part webinar series on Digital Marketing for Arts Presenters, Connecting in the inbox with email marketing. Led by Tierney Smith of TechSoup Canada, participants learned about most effective ways of using email marketing so that their emails get opened and read. Participants also got a glimpse into Canada’s anti-spam legislation, effective July 1, 2014.
Tips from Tierney
Anatomy of a Killer Email:
- Targeted recipient
- Recognizable Sender (better if it’s from an actual person)
- Clear and compelling subject line (under 50 characters)
- Branded email
- Valuable content
- Clear call-to-action
- Company info & unsubscribe links/email preference
