Regardless of what new methods you try, first, you have to understand what could be lowering the response rate on the email marketing strategy you are implementing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, here are ten culprits of a low email response rate:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44269 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/06\/X-Marketing-Tasks-You-Should-Be-Automating-But-Probably-Arent-SOCIAL-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Bad Timing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending emails at random times can lead to a lower open rate because your target audience looks at their inbox at very certain times. If you send the email while they are busy at work or when they\u2019re asleep, it will be buried by others that will be sent after it. It will lose its priority, and potential customers won\u2019t see it and, therefore, open it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to identify the trends of the target market you have in mind and determine <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/time-based-email-marketing-smarter-approach-boost-customer-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the best time to send emails<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to them. Generally, it\u2019s good practice to send emails in the morning when your audience wakes up. Also, consider that some people go through their emails when commuting to work, so up until about 10 a.m. should be a good window.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Promotion Overkill\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t bore your audience. Even when\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/writing-an-email-that-sells-your-product\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">writing product emails<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you should avoid talking too much about your brand because your audience will quickly lose interest. Instead, focus more on your clients and their needs. Use these emails as a chance to address their pain points and issues, and explain how you, or your product, can help them. Make the connection between them and your service or product, which will bring them in and make them interested in what you have to say.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your intro, outline your offer, specifically focusing on how it will add value. It\u2019s best to keep the intro short and to jump straight to the offer and CTA. You have a limited amount of time to entice your readers and inspire them to act, so don\u2019t use it all up with unnecessary wordiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need help in this area, you can always outsource your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hatchbuck.com\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-for-content-creation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">content creation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by using\u00a0an agency or a professional writing service\u00a0that provides high-quality content, creative writing, and email content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Confusing CTAs\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CTAs are very important. They direct customers to take a certain step, like visiting your product page, downloading a piece of content, or registering for an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/create-a-webinar-that-builds-your-email-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">informative webinar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re also very effective in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/email-marketing-automation-strategy-to-optimize-your-entire-funnel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">driving customers down the sales funnel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and leading them towards a purchase. Hence why CTAs are so important, and why going about them the wrong way is a mistake you just don\u2019t want to be making.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not being direct, clear, and straightforward with what action you want your audience to take will result in absolutely no action being taken whatsoever. Or what\u2019s worse, you could inspire them to unsubscribe from your messaging altogether. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next time you put together an email, come up with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/blog\/email-marketing\/2019\/03\/75-call-to-actions-to-use-in-email-marketing-campaigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specific\u00a0CTAs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and make sure you\u2019re only using one per email. Try making them a button or image instead of using a text-based link, which will make them pop and be clearly identified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Lengthy Copy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People are always on the move. Especially working professionals, which no doubt make up a large portion of your audience base (if not all of it).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending your busy audience unnecessarily long emails is a waste of your energy and theirs. Putting in all that effort towards <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/nobody-reads-emails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an email that will most likely not be read<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t a great usage of time. What\u2019s more, there\u2019s little chance a lengthy, wordy email will <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/copywriting-techniques-boost-email-conversions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boost conversions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Keep it up, and your business will be known for these kinds of emails, and eventually, you\u2019ll lose subscribers and customers. It\u2019s not a good look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When writing an email, remember that time is very precious for everyone involved because, in most cases, their income depends on it. Showing how you respect their time by writing short and concise emails will show your audience you\u2019re reliable and a valuable resource for them to spend their time engaging with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Sending Without Testing\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could be lowering the open rate of your emails if you\u2019re sending them without testing first. Emails aren\u2019t something to rush through. Even if you\u2019re always in a hurry, you have to find time to send yourself a test email first. Trust me; your customers will see when you don\u2019t make an effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the email you send is disproportionate, the links don\u2019t work, or the images used are somehow warped, your audience will start to lose trust in you. They\u2019ll associate your brand with low quality, and they could think the service you provide is probably low quality as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the extra few minutes to test your emails. Determine if they are suitable on mobile devices and ensure they look okay on different email service providers, as well. It\u2019s definitely worth it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. No Personalization<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending emails that aren\u2019t personalized and have lackluster copy tell your prospects that you don\u2019t care about where they are in the buyer\u2019s journey, or about their personal needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each prospect is different. Each works within a particular industry, is at a different stage in the journey, and needs different content to receive adequate education. When you send all your prospects the same emails, it\u2019s going to be irrelevant to a substantial portion of them. When an email is irrelevant to someone, they won\u2019t read it, they won\u2019t click on a CTA, and they definitely won\u2019t open the next one they receive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of sending generic emails, gather data on the audience you have by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/marketing-automation-customer-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using marketing automation and CRM software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Find out what type of content they like by tracking what they\u2019re clicking on and downloading. Use that data to get to know them better and inform the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/how-to-build-an-effective-email-drip-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email campaigns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you send them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Wrong Messaging<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re sent an email that includes negative language, how does that make you feel? It\u2019s awkward, weird, and just doesn\u2019t sit well with most people. Sometimes, companies think that by taking a strong stance on an issue, they\u2019re showing their prospects that they\u2019re a leader in the space and that they have an informed opinion. While this may be true for some content, like opinion pieces and guest-contributed content, this could backfire significantly when it comes to emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, sometimes I see brands sending emails with the words \u201cdo not reply.\u201d Implying that prospects cannot simply reply to an email translates to the sender, not wanting to be contacted with problems or questions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instantly, customers will believe that you are all about the money but don\u2019t want to resolve their queries. This can have adverse effects on a brand\u2019s subscriber rate and can leave a negative impression of the brand for a lot of people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be transparent in your messaging, but don\u2019t confuse things by being overly negative or by implying that you are unreachable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Not Proofreading<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending grammatically incorrect emails, and including typos and incorrect punctuation will put a fast track on disengagement for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, don\u2019t let being in a hurry make you careless. Remember the detrimental effect these silly errors can potentially have on the email you send.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carve out some time to go through your emails carefully and meticulously. Proofread them to weed out any visible errors. After doing so, use an editing tool, like <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grammarly.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grammarly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to ensure any errors that are hard to identify are spotted and corrected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Lacking CAN-SPAM Standards<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neglecting to comply with the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/tips-advice\/business-center\/guidance\/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CAN-SPAM standards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0will <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/emails-going-spam-folder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">send your emails straight to the spam folder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There\u2019s an immediate branding of untrustworthiness associated with anything in spam folders, so trust me, that\u2019s not the place you want your emails to end up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid that aftermath, go through the CAN-SPAM checklist to ensure you\u2019re practicing all the points in your email content creation. \u00a0For example, companies should <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/email-spam-trigger-words\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">avoid certain spam trigger words<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, include their physical address, and a way to unsubscribe that\u2019s easy to find in the email. Making those simple changes will make the emails you send more trustworthy and can keep them out of the spam folder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. No Consistency\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t throw in the towel when your email outreach strategies don\u2019t take flight as soon as you thought they would.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After sending a couple of marketing emails with little response or activity, some businesses jump to conclusions and immediately adjust their strategy. While being proactive is great, you don\u2019t want to do so without gaining real insight first. Sometimes, all you need is a\u00a0 little time and consistency to start seeing results. Remember that an email marketing strategy is a marathon, not a sprint. Results are rarely instantaneous, and emails live in inboxes for a while. So just because someone didn\u2019t open your email right away, doesn\u2019t mean that the open rate won\u2019t improve as time moves on. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/blog\/email-marketing-automation-strategy-to-optimize-your-entire-funnel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an excellent method to reach prospects, engage them, nurture them, and convert them to customers. But your strategy is only as good as the way you practice it. It\u2019s crucial that you email with care, and take the necessary steps to ensure you aren\u2019t doing anything that could negatively affect your response rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Author Bio<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24205 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/06\/Isabell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>Isabell Gaylord is a professional content writer, academic writer and journalist.
