Target Your List

With e-mail marketing campaigns, the more you target your message, the better response you’ll get. Start by segmenting your mail list into different categories. Then develop a marketing message aimed specifically at that category. Some ways to segment your list:

  • Geographic location
  • Past purchases
  • Frequency of purchases
  • Average dollar amount spent on a purchase
  • Customer interests
