What Does Email Recipients Want To Read? (Part2)


Don’t write but speak:
It is a mere rumor that business communication should be formal. The value of the content is more important than the style. Your email copy is a dear opportunity that you get to communicate with your recipients. So grab it and utilize it to the max. Write content that is like a breath of fresh air. The readers should feel that you are directly talking to them. So write in second person. Make it conversational and friendly by using ‘You’ and ‘Your’ in your copy and give it an animated feel.

Have a Consistent Brand Tone:
Give your brand a voice. With a consistent tone and vocabulary, create an impression such that recipients identify your brand just by reading the copy. This will help you build a lot a conversational content and win trust which will automatically lead to sales. 

Keep Testing:
In the email copy there are many factors you need to consider for testing. The factors include subject lines, tone, length of the copy, keywords used for calls-to-action, font type and size, bulleted and numbered lists, personalization, etc. The best testing practice followed for email marketing is A/B Split. When you are testing, don’t try to change more than one factor at a time.

Bottom Line:
As mentioned earlier, email is surely a dear opportunity to communicate with your recipients. However, do not exploit the chance. Though you feel like writing lengthy copies, readers would be too busy to read or would be bored by just looking at the copy. So confine your copy to maximum of 300 words. The better the copy, the higher would be the number of readers reading what you’ve written.
