			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Know your audience<br />
You could have a wide array of customers, and it&#8217;s important to target and segment your content based on their interests.</p>
<p>To determine those interests, the Pixel Vector E-mail Marketing Tools offer reporting functions that allow you to learn more about your subscriber base, such as their open and click-through rates. You can also use our tools to analyse past campaign reports to get a better understanding of what gets their attention and what prompts them to act.</p>
<p>2. Create a personal voice<br />
Brand perceptions are established through the tone and personality of your communications. Instead of sending generic emails, personalise them to reflect who you are—to start, that might mean simply signing your name. This helps the customer feel a connection but also fosters a relationship with your readers. Such a voice is crucial to gaining their trust in you and your email content. They will be more apt to open an email from you and more likely to be interested in what you have to offer.</p>
<p>3. Keep it simple<br />
With only a few seconds to capture your readers&#8217; attention, you can&#8217;t waste time on wordy content. Get to the point and make sure your content is strategically planned to convey your messages in a clear and concise manner.</p>
<p>4. Linking<br />
Adding links to your email newsletter is essential to engage your audience and drive traffic to your site. Don&#8217;t limit yourself to buttons and banners. You can add strategically placed hyperlinks throughout the email. Have these links connect to more in-depth content and a call to action throughout your e-newsletters, and you&#8217;ll notice higher click-through&#8217;s, response rates, and increased sales.</p>
<p>Remember, the content you provide is the main reason your customers subscribed to your email or newsletter in the first place. Make your content valuable! It is the key to executing successful campaigns, growing your subscriber following, and getting them to keep coming back for more.</p>
