You might even send new subscribers a special offer or exclusive content, as your way of thanking them for their loyalty.

Read up on the CAN-SPAM act\u00a0to avoid any trouble. Put simply, you\u2019re allowed to send bulk email only to people who specifically asked to be on your mailing list. If you collected email addresses for a lunch giveaway or an event invitation, then you don\u2019t have permission to send marketing emails unless you made that clear at signup. Include an obvious unsubscribe link in every email, and don\u2019t forget to remind subscribers how they got on your list in the first place.

Instead of one long block, break up your content into short paragraphs. Include subheadings and images to guide readers through your email and make it easier to scan, and add a teaser to the top of your newsletter to tell subscribers what\u2019s in store. If you\u2019re sending a long article, consider inserting a \u201cread more\u201d link so people can get to the rest when it\u2019s convenient for them. Your subject line should be to-the-point and easy to digest, too. You might even want to a\/b test subject lines to see which ones perform best.

Your email strategies and tactics have gotten you this far. Now&#8217;s the time to strengthen all these components to help you evolve into a brand, not just a business. Make sure there is maximum consistency for your users to experience. In addition to using the same logo and color scheme, how about your tone, font and writing style? Becoming a brand means you&#8217;re providing consistent solutions and experiences based on your customers&#8217; wants and needs, regardless of platform. This also may mean that you&#8217;ve evolved beyond your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Not every brand needs seven social networks, but they do need relevant interactions where their customers are. Let&#8217;s say your images are yielding a stronger click-through rate in emails. Consider creating an infographic for your Pinterest account. Or, if customers don&#8217;t have a regular consumption pattern for your content and engage with your YouTube videos, think about launching a Periscope Q&amp;A session (promoting it via email, of course) around a new product launch or simply to provide three tips that came to you that day.

You should also think about mobile: is it easy for mobile users to sign up for your email campaigns and access your campaigns as they\u2019re published.
