There\u2019s a lot more to effective email marketing campaigns<\/span><\/a> than simply coming up with catchy and eye-grabbing content and hitting the send button.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Email marketing<\/a> is one of the most effective marketing strategies<\/span> for companies across all industries.<\/strong> With 64%<\/strong> of small businesses<\/span> engaging in regular <\/span>email campaigns<\/span>, it should be no surprise that this form of marketing<\/span> has its own best practices, guidelines, and lexicon.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason why email marketing is a must for modern businesses \u2013 because it works. Email marketing<\/span> revenue is estimated to reach almost <\/strong><\/span>11 billion by the end of 2023.<\/a><\/strong> So, if you are in the early stages of learning how to do email marketing, you\u2019re on your way to a budget-friendly and highly effective strategy to boost your brand\u2019s exposure, and\u00a0bottom line.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before any marketing<\/span> team can launch an effective email marketing campaign<\/a>, however, it\u2019s essential to know the terms of the trade. From the verbiage\u00a0sprinkled throughout the most popular email marketing platforms<\/span> to the keywords that will help you track the success rate of your campaigns, here are the terms to know and utilize as you go forward with an email marketing plan<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Email Marketing Terms <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/b>Autoresponder \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Autoresponder refers to an automated message or series of messages that are sent to email<\/span> recipients based on certain triggers, such as submitting a \u201ccontact us\u201d form, or making an online purchase from a company. These type of emails help to reduce your customer service team\u2019s workload and can also serve as the first step for further engagement.<\/strong> For example, a well-crafted \u201cWelcome\u201d autoresponder email<\/span><\/span> can help keep the connection going if a prospective customer signs up for <\/span>email updates<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>Bounce Rate \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Bounce rate<\/span> is the percentage of emails that have been returned by an <\/span>email service<\/span>. Additionally, the bounce rate<\/span> is helpful to ensure that your email marketing <\/span>recipient list is as strong and error-free as possible.<\/strong> An email<\/span> bounce occurs because a subscriber\u2019s email<\/span> address either no longer exists, their inbox is full, or a server was unavailable. Therefore, keeping track of your bounce rate<\/span> and modifying your <\/span>email recipient list<\/span> as needed is essential. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>Segmentation \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Segmentation refers to dividing a large <\/span>email recipient list<\/span> into smaller groups based on specified criteria.<\/strong> Essentially, segmentation is a core tactic for <\/span>email marketers<\/span>. That is because it can help increase personalization while ensuring your recipients receive messages that directly align with their interests or connections to your company. For example, you may email<\/span> people about an upcoming in-person event based on geographic location. Furthermore, you may send reminder emails<\/span>to folks who haven\u2019t made a purchase or opened prior emails in a long time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conversion Rate<\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Conversion rate is another essential statistic when it comes to email marketing, as it outlines the overall, (and more detailed success), of the emails within your campaign. For example, a 10% conversion rate for purchases from an <\/span>email campaign<\/span> means that one out of every ten recipients purchased based on a specific email<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to track conversion rates<\/span>, regardless of the desired action, such as purchasing or following your social media pages, is to create specific and distinctive URLs or website<\/span> links. This way, if the only way to access a link is through a <\/span>marketing email<\/span><\/span>, you can directly see how many people engaged because of your email marketing. Many email marketing platforms also provide automated conversion rate tracking for each email<\/span> within your campaign to make tracking your success even more manageable. <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/b>Email Campaign \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

An email<\/span> campaign is an all-encompassing word when it comes to email marketing. However, it traditionally refers to all\u00a0promotional messages you send to your email<\/span> recipients and subscribers. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are varying components to an effective email<\/span> campaign, including the following: <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
