Email marketing frequency requires a delicate balance, as your audience will quickly unsubscribe if they don’t find your emails valuable. Striking the right cadence is crucial to email marketing success. Read on to learn email marketing frequency best practices and how to optimize your email calendar.

Email Marketing Frequency Best Practices

Email marketing has some impressive statistics, such as the famous ROI of $44 for every dollar spent. Also, the majority of consumers across generational lines consider email the most personal marketing channel. Clearly, there’s a lot of potential to connect with your audience.Considering these benefits, many digital marketers assume more is better when it comes to email marketing. And indeed, according to the Digital Marketing Association’s 2020 report (PDF), brands send an average of 26.8 emails per week, including automated emails and segmented campaigns.

A Dollar Of Email Spending Gives Back 44 Dollars

A higher email frequency doesn’t necessarily lead to higher unsubscribe rates, even though multiple studies have shown that “too many emails” is consistently the #1 reason for unsubscribes. Some people take that as further proof that more = better. However, keep in mind that unsubscribing takes time. And with today’s email clients, it’s usually easier to simply delete emails than unsubscribe. As a marketer, your frequency shouldn’t be based on open rates — or even on low unsubscribe rates.

More Isn't Better

To determine your ideal email marketing frequency, you must consider how many and what <a href="https://staging-sharpspringcom.kinsta.cloud/email/5-types-of-emails-to-improve-customer-retention-in-2021/">types of emails</a> your audience is receiving. Consumers are much more likely to open transactional emails than marketing ones. Other automated emails, such as Happy Birthday messages and abandoned cart reminders, add to the volume. And if you send your list both “blasts” and targeted campaigns, you could easily take up a lot of inbox space.

Types Of Email

Targeted campaigns perform much better than email blasts, because they resonate with subscribers’ interests. Indeed, segmented emails for B2C industries, especially retail, can boost sales when the frequency is increased. That dovetails with DMA’s finding that <a href="https://dma.org.uk/uploads/misc/marketer-email-tracker-2020.pdf">65% of consumers prefer emails with discounts and special offers</a>.It’s still important to <a href="https://fabrikbrands.com/email-marketing-frequency-how-often-should-you-send-marketing-emails/">consider diminishing returns from higher email frequency</a>. As the volume grows, fewer recipients will open your emails, and those who do become less likely to click.

No Blasting Of Emails

Pros: Stay top-of-mind and give your audience more opportunities to interact with your brand. Ideal for retailers, content creators, and other businesses that capitalize on impulse consumption.Cons: Greater risk of brand fatigue or annoying your audience. Can be challenging to constantly develop fresh content for all segments.

High Frequency Of Emails

Pros: Send highly customized and creative content that may be of greater value to your audience. Easier to manage. Great for service-based businesses that need to build trust with their audience.Cons: Lower recognizability can cause recipients to unsubscribe or mark as spam. (Brand recognition is the #1 reason consumers open a marketing email.) Smaller inbox presence compared to other brands.

A Low Frequency Of Emails

Too many email marketers consider a consumer’s opt-in as a green light to send any and all promotional content. That’s a costly mistake. While “too many emails” is usually the top reason for unsubscribes, “irrelevant information” is a close second.If you’ve obtained your list from a lead magnet, such as a free e-book, your emails should follow from that content

Reference Your Email

The way to create a balance is to segment your list, then deliver content at the frequency it makes sense for each segment. Those who give their email in exchange for a discount probably won’t want daily promotional emails, while leads you generate from high-value freebies may prefer weekly content that continues to provide value to them.

Striking The Right Balance

consumers usually don’t know the legal details of CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and other regulations. They don’t care if your emails aren’t technically spam because they opted in. As far as they’re concerned, any unwanted email is spam. If they don’t recognize your brand name (a risk of low email frequency), they may mark it as spam. However, they may also regard excessive emails as spam — even if they know they subscribed to the list.

The Law Of The Land

Taken together, your frequency, mix of types, and timing of emails compose your email marketing cadence. The right cadence will keep your brand recognizable, provide value to your recipients, and prevent the dreaded unsubscribe — or worse, the spam report. And of course, it will support your <a href="https://staging-sharpspringcom.kinsta.cloud/blog/5-tips-for-effective-email-marketing-campaigns/">email marketing campaign’s goals</a>.

Planning Your Email Marketing Cadence

keep an eye on your <a href="https://staging-sharpspringcom.kinsta.cloud/email-marketing/tips-on-email-marketing-terms-trends-for-2021/">metrics</a>. Look at how your open rate and clickthrough rates vary over the month. If your metrics decline after the first couple of campaigns, you’re probably sending too many emails. If they improve, your audience is getting more engaged and you may be able to send more emails…until the point that responses decline.

Click And Read Data

There’s no magic number for email marketing frequency. The optimal number of emails varies by brand, audience segment, and each campaign itself. Your best strategy is to lead with research and great content. Know your target audience and what they want to see.Then, use email marketing automation to optimize your campaign’s timing and ensure that the right leads receive emails that resonate with them. Test and tweak until you’ve hit your stride.

Ultimate Guide to Email Marketing Frequency - SharpSpring

A company you bought something from months ago sends you an email with three immortal words: “we miss you”.These messages feel icky because the sentiment is belated and insincere. Deep down we know that the business doesn’t really miss us. The business doesn’t know our sparkling personality or understand our unique contribution to the community – the business just misses our money.

We Miss You!

﻿A retention campaign that paints a commercial relationship as a personal one will always be awkward at best and at worst will create ill will. Here are three better ways to create retention campaigns that feel genuine and actually work:<ul><li>Focus on how your product helps</li><li>Identify and solve the problems that caused churn</li><li>Proactively monitor usage and value</li></ul>

A Better Retention Campaign

The mistake at the heart of the “we miss you” message is that it represents the customer’s relationship to the business as personal, not commercial. Personal relationships are based on who we are, and we want them to persist through thick and thin. But commercial relationships are different.To <a href="https://www.intercom.com/blog/customer-engagement/">re-engage customers effectively</a>, you need to remind the customer of what it is that got them there in the first place. Instead of guilting them into returning simply because they bought from you once, remind them of the benefits that your business can provide.

Focus on how your product helps

Many experiences can cause churn: inability to find the right product, <a href="https://www.intercom.com/blog/product-tours-first-use-onboarding/">struggles to get set up</a>, a poor service experience, or changing business needs. A retention campaign that specifically <a href="https://www.intercom.com/blog/churn-retention-and-reengaging-customers/">addresses the issue that caused churn</a> and provides a simple next step stands a high chance of success, as it speaks to the root cause of the churn.<ul><li>The first step is analyzing customer actions to identify common causes of churn. </li><li>Secondly, design a campaign to specifically address the cause of churn.</li></ul>

Identify and solve the problems that caused churn

Customers generally stop using (or cease to repurchase) products when they don’t get enough value out of your product to justify the price, not out of forgetfulness or disloyalty. To identify customers who might not be getting enough value (and so are candidates to churn), look for the ones who aren’t using the functionality that they’re paying for.The trick to doing this well is <a href="https://www.intercom.com/blog/understanding-your-aha-moments-and-putting-them-to-work/">measuring behaviour that corresponds to a customer getting value</a>. For consumer products, the value will be tied to usage. But ensure you set a threshold that avoids counting logins or app opens alone.

Proactively monitor and manage value

Understanding why each customer is buying your product and then measuring whether they’re taking the actions that would enable them to achieve that result enable you to deliver specific and personalized interventions. If your company has an account management team, this scorecard can form the basis for high-impact business reviews with customers.

The Bottomline

How often do you get an email from some company you once used with the words “we miss you”? Here are 3 better approaches to user retention.

Don’t tell me you miss me: 3 better approaches to user retention

Looking at the example of Uber, which upended the taxi services a few years ago, your business is not safe even if you are already making nice profits and the future looks bright.
After all, even protected monopolies eventually get disrupted. What you need is to make sure you can stay profitable in the years and decades to come.

Disruption Is Inevitable

The key to profitability is to recognize what businesses are and do from the perspective of the whole economy. Businesses formulate strategies to position themselves with respect to each other and thereby earn profits. So the economic context matters, because it is within the economy that you run your business. 
In the startup phase, the entrepreneur tries to find and populate a “gap” that allows the business to become profitable. But the same is true for the existing business, which must continue to consider its positioning to stay profitable.

Profitability Is To Meet The Future

Profits are rewards for a job well-done. But to maintain profitability, your sight must be set to facilitate future value. After all, the line of production that you’re considering today will not be instantaneously available to your customers. 
The value they get from the goods and services you set out to produce will without exception happen in the future. In other words, profits indicate you did something right. But profitability is a matter of meeting the future.

Staying Afloat And Thriving

The key to profitability is to imagine how you are contributing to making consumers better off.
In our advanced economy, with two-thirds of all spending being business-to-business (B2B), your customer may not be the consumer. But the consumer is the user of the final product and therefore the one that determines its value. The consumer, therefore, determines also the value of all contributions in the supply chain, albeit indirectly.

The Consumer Is King

To stay profitable over time, look beyond your customer and consider your contribution to the value of the final product. Even if your customer does not recognize it, you should meet the opportunity and innovate to offer your customer an upper hand.
If you make your customers thrive, your business thrives. The key is to think about the consumer whether or not you serve them directly.

Staying Profitable Over Time

For lasting profitability, entrepreneurs should focus on contributing to consumer value. This applies to business-to-business too.

Exactly What to Say

Invent a thing worth making, with a story worth telling, and a contribution worth talking about.The second step is to design and build it in a way that a few people will particularly benefit from and care about.Tell a story that matches the built-in narrative and dreams of that tiny group of people, the smallest viable market.Spread the word.Show up –regularly, consistently, and generously, for years and years – to organize and lead and build confidence in the change you seek to make.

Marketing in five steps 

Creative people can change the world.You cannot change everyone.Change is best made with intent.Human beings tell themselves stories.We can group people into stereotyped groups that often (not always) tell themselves similar stories.

Things marketers know  

Connect us to our purpose and vision for our career or business.Allow us to celebrate our strengths by remembering how we got from there to here.Deepen our understanding of our unique value and what differentiates us in the marketplace.Reinforce our core valuesHelp us to act in alignment and make value-based decisions.Encourage us to respond to customers instead of react to the marketplace.Attract customers who want to support businesses that reflect or represent their values.Build brand loyalty and give customers a story to tell.Attract the kind of like-minded employees we want.

Good stories:  

Status is always relative.Status is in the eyes of the beholder.Status attended to is the status that matters.Status has inertiaStatus is learnedShame is the status killer

Six things about status  

Dominion is a vertical experience, above or below.Affiliation is a horizontal one: Who's standing next to me?

Dominion vs. Affiliation  

Tactics are easy to understand because we can list them. You use a tactic or you don't.Strategy is more amorphous. It's the umbrella over your tactics, the work the tactics seek to support.If you tell your competition your tactics, they'll steal them and it will cost you. But if you tell them your strategy, it won't matter. Because they don't have the guts or the persistence to turn your strategy into their strategy.

Tactics vs. Strategy  

Direct marketing is action oriented. And it has to be measured.Brand marketing is culturally oriented. And it can't be measured.

Direct Marketing vs. Brand Marketing  

Make sure the right people is attracted to itMake sure the promise that brought them in aligns with where you hope they will goRemove steps so that fewer decisions are requiredSupport those you're engaging with, reinforcing their dreams and ameliorating their fears as you go.Hand those who have successfully engaged in the funnel a megaphone, a tool they can use to tell the others.

Maximizing Productivity

To know the average wake up time, to find your Temperature Minimum time.Temperature Minimum:<ul><li>The time when your body temperature is lowest.</li><li>Happens 2 hours before your average wake up time.</li><li>Helps shift your body clock, circadian wake up and sleep cycles, eating cycles etc.</li></ul>

1. Note your wake-up time every day

Forward Ambulation is another word to move forward - like taking a walk, biking or running! Forward Motion generates<ul><li>Optic Flow - visual images that pass by us</li><li>Auditory Flow - Sounds pass by us</li></ul>This ritualistic forward movement in turn quiets or reduces the amount of neural activity in Amygdala (part of the brain).Amygdala has a role in regulating – anxiety, fear, threat detection etc. So the Forward Ambulation leads to lowering activity in the Amygdala, and thereby reducing the levels of anxiety.

2. Get into Forward Ambulation

This is vital for mental and physical health. <ul><li>Stimulate those neurons in the eye and convey to the brain that it is day time, and to be Alert! </li><li>It sets in motion, numerous biological cascades within every cell and organs of our body.</li><li>This gives a healthy bump in a hormone called as Cortisol. Cortisol comes from Amygdala that promotes wakefulness and healthy immune system. It happens once in 24 hours. </li><li>We can time Cortisol bump, based on when we view bright sunlight.

3. Get Sunlight into your Eyes, early in the day

Drink adequate water. Early in the day.With a little bit of sea salt is good, since Neurons need ionic flow. Preferably not cold water.

4. Hydration is Essential for Mental Performance

Adenosine build up is one of the key factors that induces a sense of sleepiness . The longer we are awake, Adenosine builds-up and accumulates. When we wake up in the morning, Adenosine levels are very low.Caffeine is an Adenosine blocker. So delaying caffeine is to maintain adequate levels of Adenosine so it does not lead to a n eventual crash from caffeine. Lower levels of Adenosine leads to increased levels of sleepiness.

5. Delay Caffeine intake to 90-120 minutes after waking up

Primary objective early in the day is to get into a mode of focus and alertness, so we can get work done. This can be achieved by fasting.Fasting works to create a heightened state of alertness and a calm brain state. Fasting increases levels of Adrenaline, also referred by Epinephrine in brain and body. When our levels of Adrenaline and Epinephrine are increased, we can learn better, focus better. YHigh levels of Adrenaline may feel like stress and panic. But in its optimal range, Adrenaline provides a heightened sense of focus and improved ability to process and retain information.

6. Fasting state

In order to optimize cardio vascular and brain health of the body, exercise atleast 5 days per week. Maintaining muscular and bone health helps both muscles and brain. Physical Exercise improves Brain Health.

7. Physical Exercise

Get additional rest, One day per week.Do nothing in a structured way. If possible! Bonus Tip:If you happen to stay up late, it is still best to get up at your regular wake up time.

8. Weekend Drift

5 Things You Need to Master to Become a Successful Entrepreneur

Every credit policy tells you what your company will do if a customer doesn't make a payment on time. It also tells you what process you have for doing that. You have to have a credit policy because it affects your cash flow and the risk of loss if customers do not pay.

Savvy credit management

Having credit limits in place will fundamentally help your business in two ways.<ol><li>It establishes clear rules for you and for your customer</li><li>Credit limits work as a protection for you and your business.</li></ol>

Establish credit limits

Please check the credit rating of your customers before you extend them credit. If you don't, you'll be in for some nasty surprises. Your customers will be in the habit of not paying their bills on time and if you don't find this out on time you're going to have wasted a lot of money.

Check the credit rating of your customers

The person's job is to make sure invoices are sent on time and follow through on aligning your credit management strategy with every customer interaction. You need someone responsible for making sure the money is paid to your business.

Have someone dedicated to tracking debtors

Credit terms should be set by the supplier in agreement with the customer, because there are many limitations involved when a buying organization decides to set their own credit policies.

Credit terms should be set by the supplier

This is a credit sales agreement and should include the terms and conditions of credit sales between a creditor and a customer. This document, once signed by both parties, sets out the agreed credit terms in accordance with the law and may also be referred to as a 'credit sales agreement.'

A credit application form/agreement

Getting paid within 30 days of invoice date is the goal as defined in most small business cash flow management systems. Late payments can have a series of negative effects. For example, late payments may increase the risk of bankruptcy or insolvency, which normally lead to a loss of a contract and an interruption in cash flows to the business. Furthermore, late payments will lead to a reduction in working capital which is essential for any business to continue operating smoothly.

Late Payments.

<ul><li>The type of customer,</li><li>The size and financial strength of the buyer,</li><li>The supplier's operating cycle,</li><li>Seasonality,</li><li>Payment history,</li><li>Supplier's profit margin</li></ul>

Factors that affect business credit terms:

Credit management is my biggest lesson for the past 24 months. I personally lost $6, 000 to a client in Malta because of a lack of good business credit management on my part. I don't want you to make the same mistake. 

Credit management, in short, is a process of collecting money for goods or services provided to another person. Learn from my mistakes and do better ☺️
