Do’s and Don’ts when sending bulk email

The most important thing is get straight to the point. If you can say the same thing with less words then do it. It’s always a good idea to use bullet points when appropriate. Never have too many words in one area and develop an eye for the right amount of spacing.

A good way to test this concept is by finding someone that has no idea what email your creating. Tell them they need to gather as much information as they can very quickly. Show the participant the email for 2 seconds. Ask them what the email was trying to convey. If they can answer then you’ve done a good job.

A common tactic is to include a sense of urgency. This is where the infamous “expiration date” shows its horns. There is always a deadline because most people are procrastinators! If there wasn’t the expiration date or the limited time sale then everyone would just put it off for another day. Make sure your readers see the message so include it more than once.

Always include a link to sign up for your white list. This list will be close to 100% delivery rate which can’t be achieved when sending mass email. Never abuse this list by overwhelming your following with constant email blasts. It’s good to remind people of your presence but overdoing it will cause people to unsubscribe.

Ok people love images, so that means use a ton of them in my template right? Wrong. In any email browser images are set to not be displayed by default. Either the user needs to allow images to be displayed every time an email is opened or change the default settings.

So what does this mean? Your email needs to still look presentable and functional without the help of images. This can be a bit discouraging but luckily the power of font style and color coordination is immense. Play around with this color scheme generator for inspiration when creating your email blast. Don’t forget to vary the size of your font sizes. Very important points should be larger text size than less important ones.

Follow these guidelines with HyperMail’s bulk email software and your mass email marketing campaign should be a success.
