<p>Wij komen nog veel te vaak tegen, dat e-mail designs als een gegeven wordt aangenomen. &#8220;We hebben hiervoor een template&#8221;, is een veel gehoorde reactie. Dat klopt, templates zijn inderdaad erg handig. Helemaal als je er een aantal hebt waarin je verschillende en verschillende aantallen boodschappen in kwijt kunt. Echter is er een aantal zaken die je regelmatig moet afvragen om meer response te krijgen. Daarvoor moet je begrijpen hoe  e-mail wordt gebruikt.</p>
<p>Litmus heeft hiervoor een aardig overzicht gemaakt: &#8220;<a title="Permanent Link to 8 Email Design Factors That Influence Action" rel="bookmark" href="http://litmus.com/blog/8-email-design-factors-influence-action" target="_blank">8 Email Design Factors That Influence Action</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-461 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; border: 2px solid black;" title="subscriber-centric-email-design-infographic" src="http://www.borgersenstraathof.com/wp-content/uploads/subscriber-centric-email-design-infographic-540x1945.png" alt="" width="540" height="1945" /><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>(1) The Sender</strong>: Sender recognition is far more important than you may think. In many cases it’s the first thing your subscriber sees. Is your email address and “from name” recognizable and trustworthy to external audiences? Avoid ‘no-reply’ or other non-friendly addresses.</p>
<p><strong>(2) The Subject Line</strong>: Only 50 characters stand between email success and the trash bin. Is it relevant and interesting? If not, it’s likely your email won’t make it. Try not to repeat your brand name or use internal language that may be confusing to your audience.</p>
<p><strong>(3) Snippet Text</strong>: Some email programs, such as Gmail, Outlook and iPhone/iPad use snippet or preview text next to the subject line. This text usually is limited to 100 characters or less, and will be pulled from the first few lines of text in the email. Use this valuable real estate to build on the subject line, add value, or include a call to action.</p>
<p><strong>(4) Image Blocking</strong>: One of the largest problems that email campaigns face is blocked images. For many clients, blocked images are automatic, leaving a less than ideal first impression. Combat image blocking by avoiding all-image emails and using alt text, captions, or creative slicing and coding to create the illusion of an image.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>67% of major desktop clients block images by default</strong></li>
<li><strong>100% of major webmail clients block images by default</strong></li>
<li><strong>80% of mobile operating systems block images by default</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>A creative approach to solving the image blocking problem is to use background colors or creatively slice images to replicate 8-bit graphics.</p>
<p><strong>(5) The Preview Pane:</strong> Some email programs will only show a portion of the email in the “preview” or “reading” pane. Make the most of this 300px by 400px by placing interesting content here to encourage the subscriber to open the email.</p>
<p><strong>(6) The Inbox</strong>: In the inbox, your message has a lot to contend with. Does it look spammy next to other messages? Does it contain relevant and interesting information for the subscriber?  Are ads blocking the left-hand side? Is the font too tiny?</p>
<p><strong>(7) The Click-Through</strong>: The best way to get more clicks is to have a clear call-to-action in your email. Try asking yourself: What is going to make recipients want to click? Providing clear value to your subscriber will help produce more clicks.</p>
<p><strong>(8) The Landing Page</strong>: The subscriber’s experience doesn’t end in the inbox. Landing pages should follow through on promises made in the email. If a product is feature in your email, then it should be easy to find on the landing page. Inconsistently, clutter and missed expectations will frustrate users and ultimately hurt your bottom line. If possible, make your landing pages mobile-friendly.</p>

<p>De DMA heeft samen met ESP Epsilon onlangs de laatste trends vrijgegeven vanuit Amerika. Opvallend is dat nog steeds blijkt dat overgrote deel van nieuwe e-mail relaties zich nog niet betrokken voelen bij het merk (59%). Voornamelijk omdat veel bedrijven geen manieren tonen. Hoe ga je om als je iemand voor het eerst ontmoet? Juist. Je stelt je gewoon netjes voor en vraagt door naar de interesses van de andere persoon. Je probeert elkaar wat meer te leren kennen.</p>
<p>Waarom slaan we die stap dan nog zo vaak over als er een beeldscherm tussen zit?</p>
<p>Geïnteresseerd in de hele trendrapportage? <a href="http://www.borgersenstraathof.com/wp-content/uploads/Q2_Email_Benchmarks_FINAL_9_13_2012.pdf" target="_self"><strong>Bekijk hem hier &gt; </strong></a></p>
<p>Argumenten nodig waarom segmentatie er toe doet?</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Triggered open rates were 94.8% higher</strong></span> than Business As Usual (BAU) email formats. This is an increase over the previous quarter (75%) and the previous year (82.1%).</li>
<li><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Triggered click rates</strong></span> continued to perform well, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>reporting 122.1% higher</strong></span> than BAU.</li>
</ol>
<p>Marketers Should Focus on Segmentation, Onboarding and Welcome Strategies to Enhance Customer Engagement</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">In de <a href="http://www.telegraaf.nl/mijnbedrijf/7996191/__Digitaal_toonbankgesprek__.html" target="_blank">Mijn Bedrijf bijlage van de Telegraaf</a> stond vorige week een interview met Borgers&amp;Straathof. Als insteek is gekozen voor marketing bij de kleine zelfstandigen. In de beleving van hen is uitgebreide marketing te hoog gegrepen. Ondernemers denken dat het alleen kan als je een fors budget hebt. E- mailmarketing bewijst echter dat dit niet zo hoeft te zijn.</p>
<p>Via e-mailmarketing kunnen ondernemers (potentiële) klanten op de hoogte brengen van nieuwe producten of aanbiedingen en op die manier verleiden naar de winkel te komen. Maar de mailontvanger moet daar eerst toestemming voor hebben gegeven. Dat is te realiseren door gebruik te maken van bestaande contactmomenten. &#8220;Een winkelier zou een kleurplatenactie kunnen organiseren en de winnaar via e-mail bekendmaken. Als een slager dan ook nog om een geboortedatum vraagt, kan hij de klant specifieke aanbiedingen doen als de verjaardag in aantocht is. Een winkelier kan het toonbankpraatje per mail voortzetten, want een e-mail is goed te personaliseren.&#8221;</p>
<p>Het gehele interview vindt u ook hier op de <a href="http://www.telegraaf.nl/mijnbedrijf/7996191/__Digitaal_toonbankgesprek__.html" target="_blank">online pagina van Mijn Bedrijf van de Telegraaf &gt;</a></p>

<p>Borgers&amp;Straathof is dit jaar actief aanwezig op de <a href="www.emailmarketingconferentie.nl/" target="_blank">nationale emailmarketing conferentie</a> op 8 en 9 september in DeFabrique in Utrecht. Zo hebben wij getracht als content partner een zo interessant mogelijk programma voor u samen te stellen. Wij denken dat dit met bv de keynote spreker Chris Combemale van de <a href="http://theemailacademy.com/" target="_blank">Email Academy</a> en 15 praktijkcases dit aardig is gelukt. We hopen dat dit ook voor u als bezoeker (?) ook zo uitpakt.</p>

<p>Verder, nieuw dit jaar in het programma, doet Borgers&amp;Straathof (ism Bart van <a href="http://www.eyefun.nl/email-idols-2010/" target="_blank">Eyefun</a>) een gooi naar de titel: &#8220;Email Idol&#8221;. Een aantal bureaus hebben voor Bakker Hillegom een email design gemaakt; deze zijn allemaal werkelijk verstuurd. Op de conferentie worden deze getoond. Inclusief de resultaten! Het design met de hoogste conversie is <strong>Email Idol van 2010</strong>.</p>

How are we going to be social and what type of relationship do companies want to have with there customers. Those are the basic questions every company needs to ask themselves, before they jump in. This year lots of companies move away from the experimental phase and take Social more seriously in there marketing mix. </p>
<p>Social is, just like Email, an other way to develop highly personalized and contextually relevant relationships with your customers. Think about a facebook page.

<p>In Miami Beach we were lucky to discuss with <a href="http://www.clickz.com/3622641">Bill McCloskey</a>, founder of <a href="http://www.emaildatasource.com/">Email Data Source</a>.</p>
<p>They see it all! Whatever industry your in or how tough the competition is, Bill let you see all relevant emailmarketing insights. Including the effectiveness of any individual emailings. This email data source is able to analyze and report on very specific communication which comes across. This helps to have that bit of extra competitive advantage. Not only emailmarketing though, it now also reports on how active people share emailings on twitter.</p>

<p>Loren McDonalds, VP of <a href="www.silverpop.com" target="_blank">Silverpop </a>explains in this interview how <a href="http://www.silverpop.com/landing-engage/STO/Engage.html" target="_blank">Send Time Optimization</a> actually works. No matter how dynamic email consumers are, there is always an average on what time of the day or day of the week your clients opens and clicks your emails. So this is all about finding the optimum of being on top of their inbox at the right time. And it works&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Mobiel and social increases the relevance of email<br />
</strong>In the discussion about where email marketing stands within the upcoming years, Loren said that social and mobile increases the relevance of email. Email marketeers will have to change with the rise of social media and mobile usage. As well as their marketing messages will have to change from being promotional to incorporating much more personality, humanism and education. Email marketing should become more social to help people to make a decision and use trust that a brand has build.</p>
<p><strong>The power of Data<br />
</strong>An other key area is that data-driven email marketing will become even more important. Data will have to be pulled in from social media and from everything that is behavioural. In other words marketeers should &#8216;listen&#8217; to everything that happens around them. From real-life transactions to online visits. The tools of today makes it possible to track any individual during their tour on your website. Communication programmes will have to make use of this available behavioural data.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing automation the key to more ROI<br />
</strong>Finally Loren believes that automation will also become the most important enabler of marketing departments to deliver the volume they need. Because messages will become more personal and dynamic, you will always lack in resources to 1-on-1 react on individuals. Investing in automated trigger-based campaigns will give you the possibility to react and optimize!</p>
