These can be used to cover the last mile to the actual purchase.

Outbound emails help you reach and promote your products to a wider audience. They reach out to the customer wherever they may be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Inbound emails are consent-based, as recipients themselves opt-in to receive<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;emails. Outbound emails are unsolicited, which means recipients are more likely to disengage or report them as spam. You get a much higher engagement rate with inbound emails compared to outbound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, outbound emails can generate faster results than inbound. This is because they focus on discounts and offers. In comparison, inbound emails take longer to show results as they are mainly geared toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/brand-awareness-strategy\/\">brand awareness<\/a> and engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As part of your inbound email marketing strategy, emails can be paired with blogs, ebooks, social media, pay-per-click ads, etc. On the other hand, outbound marketing includes cold calling, TV ads, display ads, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/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\/crm-functionality\/\">Read also: CRM Functionality &#8212; 12 CRM Features That Fuel Growth Hacking<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_for_Brilliant_Inbound_Marketing_Email_Campaigns\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Best Practices for Brilliant Inbound Marketing Email Campaigns<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Good email marketing comes with certain \u2018rules of engagement\u2019. They are as follows.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>1. Segment your audience<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you want your audience to take action, you need to know who they are and what they need. To do that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-audience-segmentation\/\">segment the audience<\/a> based on their age, income, location, purchase history, and communication preferences. Then, categorize the top 20% as highly engaged, the remaining 30% as engaged, and the rest as somewhat engaged or disengaged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This will help you create targeted emails to drive loyalty with loyal customers and re-engage with inactive ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Write compelling subject lines<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> A compelling subject line can determine how successful your email campaign turns out to be. This also includes the preview that appears alongside the subject line. The key is to keep it <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-copywriting\/#:~:text=You%20must%20fulfill%20any%20promises,preview%20text%20crisp%20and%20catchy.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">short and relevant<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;\u2013 no more than 60 characters long. If that\u2019s difficult to do, you are probably better off creating an email sequence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This lets you focus on one selling point at a time and appeal to different buying motives. Whether you decide to go with a single email or sequence, make sure that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-email-subject-lines\/\">the subject lines<\/a> connect to the campaign\u2019s overall goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. Optimize your email send times<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> If your email open rate is bad, chances are you\u2019re sending them at the wrong time of day or week. According to data, the best time to send emails is between <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/best-time-to-send-email#best-time-to-send-b2b-emails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">9 am and 12 pm<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;on weekdays. Also, make sure you stagger the sending schedule for customers living in other time zones \u2013 both local and international. Use automation workflows to sync email send times across campaigns automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Test the visuals and layouts<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Attractive visual images can reinforce your copy and make it easier for readers to understand. This is because they break up blocks of text into bite-sized sections. With the right combination of colors, images, and white space, you can also direct the reader\u2019s attention to specific areas of your email \u2013 like the CTA, for example. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Email tools like EngageBay come with&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/cold-email-templates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">pre-built email templates<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> that can be customized with text and design elements in minutes, and tested for performance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. Leverage performance analytics<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Based on your campaign goals and KPIs, you must measure the performance of every email campaign you send. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-marketing-kpis\/\">key email marketing metrics<\/a> are open rate, click-through rate, unsubscribe rate, and conversion rate. To that, you should probably add an email deliverability rate, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This metric tracks how many of your emails are bouncing. Analyzing these KPIs will help you get to the bottom of any issues \u2013 be it content, formatting, design, or authentication and fix them quickly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6. Respect user consent and preferences<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The law requires that subscribers explicitly \u2018opt-in\u2019 or sign up to receive emails before you can put them on your list. Doing this tells email clients that you\u2019re a legitimate sender. Not only that, you must make sure subscribers can choose what emails get sent to them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, opting out of promotions or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-newsletters-with-templates\/\">newsletter emails<\/a>. Include a link to an \u2018email preference center\u2019 page in every email. Also, make sure a confirmation message is displayed as soon as the user hits submit \u2013 it shows that you play by the rules.<\/span><\/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\/inbound-marketing-automation-guide\/\">Read also: Maximizing Inbound Marketing Automation for Exponential Growth<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inbound_Email_Examples_For_Your_Strategy\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Inbound Email Examples For Your Strategy<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are the basic inbound email types every marketer needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>1.

Here\u2019s the step-by-step process:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>1. Begin with the customer journey in mind<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Map your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-marketing-strategies-examples\/\">email strategy<\/a> to each stage of the inbound marketing funnel. This will help you identify the best topics to use across the customer journey &#8211; from awareness to consideration and consideration to conversion. You can also leverage your existing ICP data to fine-tune your email strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The goal is to make each email relevant and engaging. On the back end, sync your email and content calendars so that you can seamlessly promote lead magnets, guides, e-books, webinars, and events before launching them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With EngageBay\u2019s&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/customer-journey-to-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">customer journey builder<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, you can plan complete marketing sequences, integrating content, email, social media, etc., across every touch point.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Personalize and add value<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Look for ways to add value based on specific interests, preferences, purchase history, and online engagement. This makes your product recommendations far more contextual and engaging. You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-data-analytics\/\">inbound marketing analytics<\/a> to identify what topics are most popular with a particular segment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This should give you plenty of talking points beyond the usual promotions. Make templates out of the best ones and optimize them based on performance and any customer feedback. You\u2019ll soon have options for every possible situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>3. Use automation to nurture leads<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Between your customer journey map and segmentation data, you should have everything you need to create nurturing emails based on specific activities and preferences. The next step is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/trigger-email-marketing\/\">set up triggers<\/a> for each touchpoint \u2013 be it webinar registration, e-book download, website activity, abandoned cart, and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This will enable you to automate emails and maximize engagement on landing pages, lead magnets, webinars, etc. By connecting your CRM and email platform, you can create&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/resources\/lead-nurturing-campaigns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">automated nurturing workflows<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;with dynamic email templates to target leads at various funnel stages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not only that, you can focus on the prospects closest to conversion with automated lead scoring.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. Optimize timing and frequency<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There\u2019s no substitute for data if you want to determine the best send time and frequency. Start by looking at the average open rate, click-through rate, and unsubscribe rate for your industry. This should give you a baseline to work with. Compare it to the email preference data in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/products\/crm\">CRM<\/a>. The right answer may vary based on customer demographics and location.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, segment your list by time zone so you can identify when they are most likely to check their inboxes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-ab-testing\/\">Run A\/B tests<\/a> and compare the results to confirm. You want to find a cadence that works for all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/buyer-persona\/\">customer personas<\/a>. Analyze reporting data weekly to maintain steady engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You may have to adjust send frequencies for a few weeks until you find the right one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. Track user activity to improve targeting<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let\u2019s say you wanted to run abandoned cart emails to recover sales. You\u2019d need real-time tracking to identify users that didn\u2019t complete checkout. This could be a trigger for the first follow-up email. Based on whether the user opens it, you can then trigger follow-up emails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">By&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/behavioral-targeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">analyzing behavioral data<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, you can differentiate between first-time and repeat buyers. This data enables you to create effective recovery sequences with targeted offers that drive urgency and increase the odds of conversion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Also, real-time engagement data lets you identify the best time to trigger retargeting ads \u2013 be it alongside the cart recovery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/marketing\/email-sequences\">email sequence<\/a> or immediately after it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6. Use the right email marketing KPIs to track campaign effectiveness<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep an eye on email marketing KPIs like open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, and unsubscribe rates. Correlating these KPIs can provide vital insights into the performance of inbound campaigns on the whole. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, if your goal is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/lead-generation-process\/\">lead generation<\/a>, a high open rate means good engagement at the top of the funnel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That translates into more traffic and brand awareness. Similarly, a decent click-through rate can indicate higher ebook downloads and webinar registrations. Analyzing email marketing KPIs can also reveal problems with content strategy or social media targeting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, if you have a high unsubscribe rate, it\u2019s possible that your offers aren\u2019t attractive enough to the target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">7. Integrate email data with overall inbound analytics<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can confirm all of your performance-related hypotheses by adding email data to your weekly inbound marketing reports. This gives you a complete picture of how each campaign is contributing toward marketing goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, you\u2019ll be able to see the correlation between email open rates and website engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can then identify the next steps to take, like optimizing your site for high-intent search terms while fine-tuning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-email-subject-lines\/\">subject lines<\/a> and CTAs to increase the click-through rate.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">8. Keep tweaking based on performance insights<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ultimately, high engagement rates must translate into tangible revenue for your inbound email marketing campaigns to succeed. That\u2019s not always the case. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, if your cost per acquisition (CPA) is high even when your emails are getting enough engagement, there could be an underlying issue elsewhere. It could be that your landing page is taking too long to load, resulting in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/bounce-rates-email-deliverability\/\">high bounce rate<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You must leverage additional tools like Google Analytics and email analytics to pinpoint the exact issue. Marketing automation tools come with built-in reporting and analytics that deliver actionable performance insights across campaigns \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/marketing\/marketing-automation\">EngageBay<\/a>. It also fuses all the data into a dashboard with real-time updates.<\/span><\/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-vs-marketing-automation\/\">Read also: Email Marketing vs Marketing Automation: A Marketer\u2019s Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, there you have it &#8211; email marketing can fuel your overall inbound strategy.
