What Does Email Recipients Want To Read? (Part1)


Audience is always unpredictable. You never know what they expect to read. You need to get deep into their minds to dig out what words trigger their instincts to buy from you. However, if know what to say but stuck up with how to say it, don’t worry you are not alone. According to Content Marketing Institute, more than 36percent of email marketers say that writing great content is the biggest challenge.

So how do you confront this challenge? Here is a chunk of advice that can help you to create just the right content.

Choose Simplicity over Complexity:
Writing content with complex and high frequency words wouldn’t do any good other than confusing the recipients. Your email should be simple that even a stark recipient can read it. Do not use metaphors or words with more than 4 syllables.



Highlight Benefits over Features:
If you are writing about a product/service, assay the difference between features and benefits. A feature is just the characteristic of a product whereas benefit explains what the recipients gain from the product. Though features are important, it is the benefits that convince the recipient to pull out his wallet and give you his hard earned money to buy it.

Readers don’t read but Scan:
Email recipients have peculiar behavior of scanning the copy rather than reading it completely. So highlight the critical aspects wither by making it bold or using a different font color. Yet, the copy should flow freely without any brakes in between. Readers should not be forced to read your email twice to get the meaning out.
