Often even a small change can have a huge impact on your conversion. This time we tested adding a subject line in the body of an email. What we tested We tested to see if adding a subject line to the body of an email will make any difference”. So we did. We used the same subject line from the subject line field, made it the very first thing in the body and made it bold. The test background We ran this test for 2 weeks on 3 different websites to make sure the result was not just a one off success, but a persistent result that could then be applied and relied on. We tagged all urls in emails using Google url builder tool so we could recognize emails with subject lines in the body from those without the subject line in the body, in Google Analytics. After the […]

Plain vs. HTML email? Which one is the best? Will sending a plain text emails to email subscribers for this IT exam website work better, or are the HTML emails more suitable? We decided to test. In this case study you will learn that in some cases and for certain industries a plain email is more suitable. What we tested We tested the weekly newsletter to find out which version, plain vs. HTML, is more suitable for this client. So we split the email subscriber database and the same day we sent plain emails to one half, and the HTML email to the second half of the subscribers.

Looking for a way to increase your email revenue? In this case study you will learn, how we increased revenue on 3 different websites (3 different email lists) by 94.42% for a client using one proven tactic. The test is very easy test to set up, as the change alone doesn’t require use of a copywriter, rewriting of your email, nor even creating a new email campaign. That’s how easy it is. The hardest part for some will probably be correct url tagging in order to track revenue in Google Analytics, as you would like to test and track the impact this change has on your business. However if you need help with that, you can contact me. What we tested We tested recommended best practice when sending email campaigns. Best practice says to use the name of a site in the ‘from’ field. In our case, our client didn’t […]

In the webinar, “lessons learned from top 10 converting websites“, the main conclusion was that all the top 10 online retailers focus on lifetime re-marketing to drive qualified traffic back to the site using email marketing. The biggest challenge is how to build your email list: how to get that email from your visitors. Here I would like to show you 2 very interesting approaches from stores with high volumes of visitors each month. Approach 1: my-wardrobe.com offers an incentive of £50 to get visitors’ email addresses. A pop-up window is shown to all unique visitors on their arrival. See the examples below for how it is done. Approach 2: uk.forzieri.com. The same approach as above showing a pop up window to first comers visiting your site, but in this case offering a chance to win a £5,000 shopping spree. That to me is a very good reason to give […]

Email marketing is one of the cheapest way of generating more sales and getting your visitors coming back if performed well. At proimpact7 we offer free website inspection service, which helps you to see what is stopping your website getting better conversion rates. Many times I am amazed that lots of websites just don’t pay enough attention to email subscribers at all, as in the example below, where you can’t even subscribe to their newsletter. In our blog we present a series of webinars focusing specifically to this subject, and in one of our posts we talked about how footsmart.com generates $750k annually from their transactional emails alone, so definitely a subject not to be taken lightly. Below you can see a very good example from footsmart.com, the same company which generates $750 annually from their transactional email, and how they try to get more email subscribers. As you can […]

The majority of top online retailers are placing their email opt-in into the footer which is an approach I personally like because it’s always there on each page and it blends nicely with the site design. But, is it the best place to have it? Possibly not, as some visitors could miss it (even though I must admit I have become used to looking for email opt-in fields in the footer because it is used by so many top online retailers nowadays, that if I don’t see it there then I feel confused, but that’s just me), and therefore I believe a combination of somewhere above the fold and in the footer with incentives to get visitors to take action is probably the best option. Below you can see some examples to get inspiration from. In our previous post you can see some good examples of email opt-ins in header and footer along with incentives. The example […]
