Your Guide to Running a Bulk Email Campaign

There are 4 billion daily email users, which means the market for email campaigns is massive. As a result, organizations emphasize email campaigns and have started investing in bulk email campaign strategies to get the results they need.

For that, they need bulk email software that allows organizations to send their entire email list the same email in hopes that a percentage of these emails will convert into a lead. This article will discuss why bulk email campaigns are helpful and how your organization can run a great one.

Why Are Bulk Email Campaigns Important

Bulk email campaigns have an average ROI of 12% and are seen as a great way to make your customer aware of your product and build a better relationship with your customer. That being said, bulk email marketing isn't a sure-fire way to get your audience flocking towards your website or stores to make a transaction.

Customers get a flurry of emails from many businesses every day, and your email can just as easily get lost in the crowd. That's why it is vital that you don't send out bulk emails willy nilly powered by prayer. Instead, invest in a strategy in place to get the most out of your campaigns.

Tips On Improving Your Bulk Email Campaign

There is no single strategy that you can apply to improve the ROI of your email campaigns. That being said, there are a few tips that you can follow to improve your results. Here are the top five ways to improve your email campaigns:

Sort Out Your Email List

The first step towards a successful bulk email campaign is to know your email recipients. Your email list could have hundreds of thousands of email addresses, and sending an email to everyone is not advised.

Instead, you need to go through the subscriber list and sift out outdated ones, wrong addresses, or others that no longer exist at all. Sending emails to accounts such as these can drastically increase your bounce rate and, in turn, impact your overall results.

Segment The List

Studies have shown that marketers that segment their email lists have seen a 760% increase in revenue. So, it's best to section your subscriber list by demographics such as age, gender, interests, etc.

You can then send unique emails to each segment that are custom-made to target their particular pain points. This can go a long way in improving the response rate as you will be sending emails to the right person who is more likely to open the email and turn into a qualified lead.

Check For Spam Triggers

One thing that most marketers overlook is spam triggers. These are words, links, or media files you send in your email that can be considered spam and are automatically sent to the spam folder.

Marketing emails being redirected to the spam folder is every marketer's nightmare. Unfortunately, there is no setlist for trigger words, so marketers will have to test their emails before sending them to the customer and avoid the abyss, which is the spam or promotions folder of the customer's inbox.

Keep Track Of Your Metrics

The only way to know where you can improve your campaigns is to track how your emails are performing and amend them accordingly. Some of the significant metrics you need to keep constant track of include the open rate, response rate, and unsubscribe rate. These three metrics alone can give you a clear picture of how your emails are performing and any aspects you need to change to improve them.

Become Mobile Responsive

46% of all emails are opened on mobile devices. This means that if your email does not have mobile compatibility, your email will be left unread or deleted by the user. We live in a world where our mobile devices are now an extension of our selves and not having mobile compatible emails can be catastrophic for your campaigns.

Wrapping Up

Bulk email campaigns are a great marketing tactic. These can help you disseminate information about the latest deals and offers and even get customers interested in exploring your products and services.

However, be mindful of the recipients' time, don't spam them, and do segment them so you can deliver precisely the kind of marketing collateral that gets them interested.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
