3. Use Email Marketing Software/ Tools: 

How will you send one mail to large set of customers? 

You can use email marketing software or tool to send many emails at a time. There are many email marketing tools available like MailChimp, Get Response, etc. by which you can send multiple emails. 

Mailchimp is a free to use software for upto 2000 subscribers.  When you want to upgrade, then you can use GetResponse software which is offering good email marketing services at low cost and has best features when compared to Mailchimp. When the user enters the email address to download your eBook or simply subscribe your newsletter, their email address will store in that marketing software by which you can get the subscribers’ mailing list. 

Now, you can send the many mails to your customers at a time.  

4. Mobile Optimized Mails: 

You have to know that most of the people are using mobile phones to read their emails. Hence, before sending the emails, you have to check whether the email content fits both PC and mobile screen so that everyone can read making use of it. 

Mobile optimization is easily achieved in email marketing software. It provides your pre-designed template in which you can design your email format and also analyze the screen fitness for your mail.  

Hence, use the software and template that support both mobile and PC screens.  

5. Friendly Communication Message: 

It is also important to focus on the email content that you are sending. You have to write messages that are interactive to your customers. Through emails, you are speaking directly (virtually direct) to your customers; so, use friendly words to make them feel that your mail is sent only by you and not by a robotic process. This will help the customer to open your mail and encourage them to take respective actions like purchasing or downloading your product, or sharing your product details, etc., 

6. Give Valuable Information: 

The ‘subject’ in the mail or simply the headline of the mail is very important as it is the first information that your audiences will note and that headline will decide whether the audience open your emails or not.  

Always be confident with your mail headings by using friendly and curious words. Then it is essential to mention your contact details like your ecommerce website details, your mail-id to reply, contact number and social media links, so that they can easily contact you in return. If you also have physical or registered address for your business, you can also display it in the email content. 

In the main content section, provide only the valuable information. If you send unnecessary emails to the customers, then there is a chance that the users will unsubscribe to your newsletter. Also note that you don’t make your customers sad by sending multiple mails daily. It may lead to withdrawing the subscription. You have to maintain the email sending limitations by sending 2-4 mails per month. 

You can send mails about: 

>Your new product releases 

>Your best blog articles  

>Your new business updates 

>Your offers, discounts, or seasonal deals 

>You can send giveaways or gifts to delight your customers using this email marketing process. 

7. A/B Testing Process: 

 Final tip is, never send the same email content to all customers at the same time. You can design the content format in two different ways. Use A/B testing process in your email marketing software and send first content format to 50% of your audience list and send the second format to remaining 50% of the customer list. This helps you to analyze which format attracts the customers, encourage them to open the mails and complete the necessary action of purchasing the product. So that you can find the best content now and you can send this same content by retargeting the audience again. 

Also, before sending the mails, you have to check the email by sending it to your personal email-id. So that you can get better user experience and it helps you to approach the users in the right way.
