We've mapped out a whole guide for how a PTA, PTO or PTSA can utilize email marketing.

This month's newsletter kicks off with some info on what Macs new OS, Lion may mean for email marketing. As Paul points out, even the Mac detractors need to pay attention. Next we will discuss the importance of making your subscribers believe they can't live without your product. In a world where a TV show called Extreme Couponing exists, it's important to know how to deal with your subscribers who have abandoned their coupons.

Whats New

How Apple OS X Lion Lets Email Marketers Jump the Subject Line
How to Keep Email Subscribers Longer than a Day The new Lion OS has presented a momentous revision to email marketing practices that warrants deeper exploration. The change to the email inbox makes the all important email subject line less important to Mac users. The inbox is a column on the left and you see almost your whole email in a big pane on the right. This effectively makes a user notice the email first just because there's so much space devoted to it. As an email marketer, your Mac-using email subscribers (who upgrade their operating systems to Lion) get to see more of your email right from the inbox. If your email newsletters look professional, colorful and compelling, they might get opened without ever being judged solely on their subject lines.

Develop the Innate Quality to Make Your Email Marketing Essential
Permission Email Marketing: 4 Tips for Improving Your Landing Pages The free trials we currently see in the email marketing industry are a part of a marketing strategy brands have been executing for years. It is great strategy. Instead of just explaining how useful the product is through a clever advertising pitch, you provide the potential customer with free access and let the product do the selling itself. While a solid offering definitely goes a long way in the case of the free email marketing trial offer, it takes much more than a strong product to convert those users into paid customers. Your email strategy should define the features or treatment that your customers will receive by choosing you. Use your campaigns to highlight these qualities. Find out how to Develop the Innate Quality to Make Your Email Marketing Essential.

Tip of the Month
Don't Make Assumptions with Customers
Use Spam Checkers to Improve Your Delivery Rate Obviously, your existing customers make the best candidates for your email list. If they are satisfied customers that keep coming back, these people are very likely to subscribe. Unfortunately, a customer does not automatically translate to subscriber, which means it probably would not be a good idea to start sending them a newsletter or offers out of the blue. The good thing is that since you already have a relationship with your customers, you can simply come out and ask if they want to be on your list. Send along a nice personal message explaining the benefits of connecting with you via email, and include a link to the signup box on your website. Do a good job of highlighting the value and you should have a fairly easy time converting customers to email subscribers.
