You may think that creating an email is simple, all you need to do is write a title and a little bit of content, stick in an image and let your email automation program do the rest for you. Well, although we can simplify the process for you, there are still many aspects of your email that need to be considered if you want to create a killer email that converts.
It is time to put to bed all those Email Marketing Myths that are attempting to ruin the reputation of email. Email marketing is not dead, in fact, it is not only alive and kicking, it is a major player in achieving eCommerce success.

Discounts and coupons are used to increase repeat sales and get customers back into the store. But just sending coupons to all your customers can be less effective and can even yield negative results.

There’s infinite opportunity available to eCommerce marketers who segment their customer email lists. Not only does breaking customers up into groups make it easier to manage different shopper subsets and demographics, it also creates opportunities for marketing via product recommendations. Recommending products to segmented lists is a smart way to realize untapped customer potential.
Trying to get a room full of people to agree on the same thing is hard. But, if you separate people into groups of like-minded individuals, it’s a lot easier to come to a consensus. Email segmentation is the same principle—separating people into groups with common traits and habits, in order to market more effectively. And, once you do this, offering up something like a product recommendation becomes incredibly easy and effective.

For online shoppers, there’s almost nothing more frustrating than getting emails for things that don’t apply to you. A sale email for a product you’ve already bought or a product recommendation email for items you’d never buy is instantly headed for the trash. If it happens frequently enough, an unsubscribe is soon to follow. This is a quick way to alienate your customer base.
