Effective Promotional Email Templates

Marketing and advertising have come a long way since the foundation of the Internet. Numerous platforms and marketing ways have been developed since then and ‘Promotional Email’ is one such kind. Promotional emails templates are a type of digital marketing which helps businesses generate sales/ retain customers/ promote new products or offers/ etc.

Significance of sending promotional email

While there are millions of businesses and products/services in the market, it’s definitely a tough choice for the customers to decide on one. That is where promotional emails arrive as an opportunity for businesses and a solution to their confusion to customers.

They directly serve the purpose of sending an email to the specific customer with a specific message. A properly written promotion email answers the why and how of the customers which makes it easy for the customer to comprehend the purpose and how they can take necessary actions.

Best practices to write promotional email

  1. Find purpose of writing: Before starting to write, it is mandatory to decide ‘what to write’ and give direction to your content. A directionless content piece or an email does nothing but leads your email to the trash by the customer.

  2. Personalized content: When somebody addresses something to you but if the same person specifies your name and then addresses the same information, it will have a different impact on you, psychologically. It is true that personalized messages have a higher chance of getting an email read or even taking necessary action.

  3. Share and NOT inform: Sharing and informing while writing an email are two totally different emotions and you may already know that sharing something is more lovable and polite to the reader or listener than informing. Writing an informative email is more formal and generates a sense of alertness.

  4. Emphasize on benefits rather than features: Define what value you serve to the table while presenting your email. A promotional email which only brags about the features and serves no value to the customers will unfortunately lead to bouncing back of your potential lead.

  5. Write relevant content: It is important for you to align your content with customer interests and existing content. Writing a promotional email which aligns with a customer’s preferences and solves his/her problem will have a higher chance of converting or retaining that customer.

  6. Maintain clarity: While drafting an email, ‘clarity’ is the primary requirement of any content piece above all. Later, you can show your creativity by adding a funny, witty, emotional, etc. tone to it but for the sake of entertainment, you mustn’t compromise with the clarity and message of your email.

Additional key points for promotional email

  • Easy language: Always remember to use such language which is easy to understand. Your customers wouldn’t like themselves to feel stupid when seeing an email which is difficult to comprehend. Avoid using slang, jargon or buzzwords. Keep it simple and clear.

  • Don’t use heavy and irrelevant designs: If you’re adding images to a promotional email, then make sure you only add relevant information in the image and the image must be relevant too. Stuffed images could act as a turf off for your customer so beware of using such images. Instead, you may use aesthetic images or simple images with just relevant texts inside.

  • Write in second person: Your audiences would love it if you speak to them directly. Your email copy should be reader oriented and not writer oriented. Second person language includes usage of ‘you’, ‘your’ and ‘yours’. Though, sometimes, it might be required to use first or third person but you must maintain a balance keeping the focus on the customer and not the brand.

  • Keep a back-up of the email list: Have you ever thought about who owns those emails whom you call your customers? Who owns the media you share while sending or receiving an email? How many customers would you hold if these platforms shut down? Therefore, it is important to keep a list of the customers you have and the media shared.
