Know Why You\u2019re Sending the Email Blast<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Why did you choose an <strong>email blast<\/strong> over a more targeted, tailored email for your email campaigns? It shouldn\u2019t just be because you felt like it.<\/p>\n<p>Your blanket email should have some purpose that you cannot achieve with a more segmented message.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, do you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/create-email-newsletter\/\">send a newslette<\/a>r to your email list? An <strong>email blast<\/strong> makes for the perfect template in which to send your email newsletters.<\/p>\n<p>Has your company recently expanded, shifting initiatives or introducing a new project or merger? You\u2019d send a company-wide email blast only to your employees, not your customers.<\/p>\n<p>You could also have just launched a discount on a big seller and you want your entire audience to know about it. This <strong>email blast<\/strong> <em>would <\/em>go to your customers.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which reason of the above suits you best right now, do know that the best <strong>email blast campaigns<\/strong> call for the same level of planning as targeted email campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>It might not look like it on the surface, but you\u2019re not just randomly sending emails with no foresight.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2. Make Sure Your Subject Line Grabs the Recipient\u2019s Attention<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like you would with a tailored email, you must put some time and care into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-email-subject-lines\/\">subject line<\/a> of your next <strong>email blasts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After all, as we\u2019ll show you later in this article, it doesn\u2019t exactly get the same open rates as more targeted emails do.<\/p>\n<p>That should come as no surprise at this point, but it does mean you have to work harder to achieve the results you want for your email blast campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Part of that begins with a stellar subject line.<\/p>\n<p>Our first tip for writing the best <strong>email blast subject lines<\/strong> is to refrain from using any language that comes across as spammy and will find its place in the spam folder.<\/p>\n<p>Saying things like \u201cfree limited offer,\u201d&nbsp; in your subject line, even if that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019re offering, might land your email marketing message straight in the spam folder.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if the email recipients in your email list even get your message, they\u2019ll send it to the trash bin.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your punctuation down to normal levels, and don\u2019t abuse the caps lock key for your subject line, either.<\/p>\n<p>Both can also send your email marketing message in the spam folder\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voilanorbert.com\/blog\/spam-filters-and-spam-trigger-words-to-avoid\/\">spam filter<\/a> where it will never be seen by the email recipients.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve covered on this blog many a time how to write great subject lines, so use what you know and apply it to your next <strong>email blast headline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best to let the reader know exactly what they\u2019ll see in the email through your subject line. This way, they\u2019re incentivized to open it.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you\u2019re offering 40 percent off all cookware this weekend, then say so in the headline. Don\u2019t dance around it. You can save the more creative headlines for your targeted emails.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. Use Your First Three Sentences to Make an Impact<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Okay, so you\u2019ve got your recipient to open your email based on your subject line. Now, how do you keep them engaged so they keep reading your email marketing message? You have to ensure your first few sentences shine.<\/p>\n<p>These sentences also referred to as the preheader, will show up on most browsers after your subject line. The preheader acts as a preview to what\u2019s inside the email, so you have to make it good.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you launch more into your deal or you write about something related, you have to hook your reader in and keep them there.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. Add Some Personalization<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Email blasts<\/strong> and personalization might sound as different as night and day. After all, aren\u2019t <strong>email blast&nbsp;<\/strong><b>campaigns<\/b>&nbsp;just blanket emails to your whole audience?<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, yes, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to leave out all personalization.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, putting the recipient\u2019s name in the subject line or email header can go a long way towards getting them to open the email marketing message.<\/p>\n<p>You may even have better click-through rates as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/resources\/email-marketing-automation-guide\">Automation<\/a> can come in handy here, allowing you to personalize each email without spending hours upon hours doing so yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Another great reason to personalize your emails? There\u2019s a lesser chance that they\u2019ll end up in the spam filter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/email-marketing-stats\">77% of marketers<\/a> have seen an increase in email engagement over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-marketing-campaign-ideas\/\">Read also: 18 Trending Email Marketing Campaign Ideas [+ Templates]<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-blue\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Send_an_Email_Blast\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">How to Send an Email Blast<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1.

Who in your mailing list can you trust to open most of your messages?<\/p>\n<p>The customers that have stuck with you for the long haul and with whom you\u2019ve built a great professional bond should float to the top of this list.<\/p>\n<p>You can trust that they\u2019ll engage more with the emails you send out, even if these emails lack the targeting of your other messages.<\/p>\n<p>You need every single contact who fits the above description on your email list before you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/send-10000-emails-using-gmail\/\">send out your mass email<\/a>. That gives you the best chance of earning a decent open rate.<\/p>\n<p>With most blasts, email marketers have the misconception that they need to send emails to the most recipients possible. That\u2019s not necessarily the case.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, like with any email, it\u2019s better to reach out to those with the highest receptivity to your email marketing messages.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how to get the best results.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Email-Blog.png\" alt=\"send an email blast\" width=\"670\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Email-Blog.png 670w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Email-Blog-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Email-Blog-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2.

You might segment or reorganize these people on your contacts list per the last item in this article.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, you want to pay more careful attention to these contacts.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to add a landing page to your <strong>email blast<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019re not targeting your audience with a blast, the content of the email marketing message itself is often quite general.<\/p>\n<p>The landing page provides more information, thus encouraging sales.<\/p>\n<p>When the reader clicks your landing page, you\u2019re guiding them through the next steps of the sales process.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re giving them the information they want, such as product specs, data, and pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Then, at the end of the page, you\u2019re providing them with a CTA they can click on if they want to proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, at that point, they make a purchase and your company earns a sale.<\/p>\n<p>Then it\u2019s up to you to keep working with this contact to get their repeat business.<\/p>\n<p>Mass emails, as we said, don\u2019t exactly have the most favorable reputation among email marketers. That\u2019s because they\u2019re often very general and don\u2019t have clear results.<\/p>\n<p>By adding a landing page to your blast, you could see the kinds of sales you want.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. Use Plain Text<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You might think because you\u2019re writing a more generalized email that it must possess every visual trick in the book. If it doesn\u2019t look flashy, have an awesome graphic, and other eye-catching visual details, no one will care, right? Not exactly.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some email marketers vouch for plain text blasts. 2017 data from <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.marketo.com\/2017\/07\/html-text-emails-better.html\">Marketo<\/a> found that plain text emails don\u2019t always get fewer opens than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/html-or-plain-text-emails\/\">emails loaded with HTML elements<\/a>. Also, according to Marketo, if you provide an offer link in your plain text email, you could see a boosted click-through rate (17 percent) as well as an increased click-to-open rate (21 percent).<\/p>\n<p>We have an even more convincing reason to send plain text blasts. That\u2019s personalization.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.campaignmonitor.com\/plain-text-emails\">Campaign Monitor<\/a> says these emails add an element of personalization, and we have to agree. Check out this example below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4932 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/element-of-personalization.png\" alt=\"email personalization\" width=\"500\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/element-of-personalization.png 500w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/element-of-personalization-285x300.png 285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of <\/em><em>AWeber Blog<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now, compare that to this email.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/welcome-to-fab.png\" alt=\"welcome to fab\" width=\"624\" height=\"746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/welcome-to-fab.png 624w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/welcome-to-fab-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/welcome-to-fab-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of <\/em><em>SmartMail<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Both emails have some personalization, but which seems more personal to you?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d have to say it\u2019s the first email. There is something about plain text emails that make them seem more intimate and friendly.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re writing an <strong>email blast<\/strong>, it\u2019s especially important to incorporate those senses of intimacy and friendliness.<\/p>\n<p>You already have a less targeted, blanket email marketing message that could apply to almost anyone on your email lists.<\/p>\n<p>By writing it in plain text, you introduce the personalization your email marketing message otherwise lacks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. Don\u2019t Refrain from Using Images, Though<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Text-based <strong>email blasts<\/strong> may come across as more personalized, but you have to admit: visually, they\u2019re a bit boring.<\/p>\n<p>If your recipients keep getting plain text after plain text emails, they may unsubscribe to your list.<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t you consider it if a company always sent you the same ol\u2019, same ol\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>You already know that an email campaign has a lower rate of receptivity than targeted, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/resources\/email-personalization\">personalized emails<\/a>. That means you should expect a lower open rate to match.<\/p>\n<p>If you can convince your recipients to open your email marketing message, then you better give them something visually appealing for their troubles.<\/p>\n<p>How do you do that? With images, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you can\u2019t just use any image, as we\u2019re sure you know.<\/p>\n<p>Since images can come across as less personalized (as we just mentioned), you have to strive to make your email images individualized.<\/p>\n<p>Select images that either create or augment the sense of personalization you\u2019ve worked so hard to foster.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of what we mean.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4934 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/top-listener.png\" alt=\"thank you for being a top listener\" width=\"527\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/top-listener.png 527w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/top-listener-183x300.png 183w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of <\/em><em>HubSpot<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And, why not?

Reading the message, it feels like an email you\u2019d get from a friend or old coworker.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s selling you concert tickets and Spotify and the artist\u2019s music, but it\u2019s never pushy.<\/p>\n<p>As for the email from FreshDirect, this one marries images and personalization beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>The fridge magnets arranged to spell the recipient\u2019s name would catch anyone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>The 50-percent discount would hold that attention, hopefully boosting the click-through rate.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">5.

That\u2019d look much better in a plain text email, for instance.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which type of CTA you prefer, where you put it matters a lot for the success of your email campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>You want your CTA to catch the reader\u2019s eye, so it needs a prominent spot. However, it shouldn\u2019t detract from your message or interrupt the reading flow.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so where should you put your CTA then? It needs to go above the fold. This old-school term dates back to the early days of printed newspapers.<\/p>\n<p>It literally refers to the fold halfway down a newspaper. You\u2019d want an image above that fold so people would see it.<\/p>\n<p>In Internet terminology, having your CTA above the fold means a user can see the image in its entirety without clicking midway down the page.<\/p>\n<p>Since you often don\u2019t have to scroll or click when reading an email compared to a landing page, you have more freedom with CTA placement.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some various ideas to inspire you. Feel free to play around with your CTA, but always A\/B test to see which placement works to your advantage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4936 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/get-up-to-speed.png\" alt=\"get up to speed\" width=\"538\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/get-up-to-speed.png 538w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/get-up-to-speed-187x300.png 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of <\/em><em>Smashing Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4937 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplify-your-payroll.png\" alt=\"simplify your payroll\" width=\"574\" height=\"864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplify-your-payroll.png 574w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplify-your-payroll-199x300.png 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of <\/em><em>Campaign Monitor<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4938 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/hot-days-cool-looks.png\" alt=\"hot days cool looks\" width=\"624\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/hot-days-cool-looks.png 624w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/hot-days-cool-looks-288x300.png 288w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/hot-days-cool-looks-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of <\/em><em>Econsultancy<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">6.

Make Sure Your Copy Is Short but Sweet<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We may sound like a broken record here, but it\u2019s important to reiterate again: <strong>email blasts<\/strong> don\u2019t perform as well as targeted emails.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to do anything to shoot yourself in the foot or impede your progress then. Sending long emails would be one such mistake.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re already asking a lot from someone to open an <strong>email blast<\/strong> email.<\/p>\n<p>To then see it\u2019s paragraph upon paragraph of nothing but the text would make anyone click away ASAP.<\/p>\n<p>Links are your friend here. You can make your email messages rife with content while cutting down on the paragraphs by using links.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re talking about a topic you\u2019ve written about a lot on your blog.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than regurgitate the same information for your email, just link to the relevant blog post(s).<\/p>\n<p>Those who want to read more will do so and those who don\u2019t will just keep scrolling.<\/p>\n<p>So how long should you make your email? It depends.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a sales email message, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/sales\/ideal-length-sales-email\">HubSpot<\/a> says to stick to 200 words or fewer. Don\u2019t exceed 20 lines. <a href=\"https:\/\/sleeknote.com\/blog\/ideal-email-length\">Sleeknote<\/a> says to write an email with 75 to 100 words.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the response rate per word according to 2016 data:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4940 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/response-rate-per-word.png\" alt=\"response rate per word\" width=\"623\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/response-rate-per-word.png 623w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/response-rate-per-word-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/response-rate-per-word-595xh.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Image courtesy of Sleeknote<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to that info, you can get a 51-percent response rate if your email sticks to 75 or 100 words.

You also have to take into account that these stats center around targeted email marketing messages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Email blasts<\/strong> may not have the same high success rate.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">8. Don\u2019t Forget Your Contact Info<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In an email, a blast or not, you want to make it easy and convenient for your readers to take action.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that action is learning more about your company, so you provide clearly-marked links in the email body.<\/p>\n<p>You could want them to buy something, so you have CTAs that take them right to your store.<\/p>\n<p>If you want them to schedule a consultation or even respond to your email, you have to make that easy, too.<\/p>\n<p>The best way you can do so is to include an email signature with every message you send.<\/p>\n<p>An email signature can help you in a lot of ways. If you provide a link to your site, it gives you free traffic.<\/p>\n<p>You can also get more social media followers by providing buttons that redirect the reader to your social media feeds.<\/p>\n<p>Those who want to learn more about your company can easily do so just by clicking what\u2019s in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-signature-important-for-email-marketing\/\">email signature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That could begin them on the road to buying from you.<\/p>\n<p>Your email signature also needs your email address and your phone number.<\/p>\n<p>This way, the reader has several means of reaching out to you if they so choose.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">9. Test to See if Email Blasts Work for You<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>How do <strong>email blasts<\/strong> get their less-than-stellar reputation?<\/p>\n<p>Companies test for metrics that matter to them, such as ROI, open rates, click-through rates, sales, subscriber counts, and more with the help of their preferred <strong>email blast software<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They then compare those results for blasts versus targeted email messages. You know which one delivers better results by now.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean mass emails have no place in your company.<\/p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is, you never know until you try. However, you can\u2019t just send <strong>email blasts<\/strong> once or twice and then call it quits.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend you plan a multi-month <strong>email blast campaign<\/strong>. Some marketing experts even recommend keeping it up for a whole year.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s your choice whether you send these blasts for six months or 12 as part of your email campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>We do recommend you give it longer than a week or two before discarding mass email messages as a potentially valuable method for your company.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking results over a six-month or 12-month span lets you get comprehensive results. With that much time dedicated to split testing, trends can form.<\/p>\n<p>You can study them to see what your audience was most receptive to. Did your <strong>email blasts<\/strong> work better when you accompanied them with a landing page or images?<\/p>\n<p>Does your audience prefer targeted messages more?<\/p>\n<p>The latter is almost universally true, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no valid reason to cease sending targeted email messages entirely.<\/p>\n<p>If you sometimes mix in <strong>email blasts<\/strong> with these targeted email marketing messages, you should see the best results yet.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before
