We’ve all experienced it—a sudden flood of promotional emails that have us frantically unsubscribing and groaning, “Please stop emailing me!” As a small business owner, email marketing is crucial, but overdoing it can push your audience away. How can you make sure your emails stand out without becoming another annoying notification in their inbox?
Less is More: Respect the Inbox
Nobody likes an inbox flooded with daily promotions. Gen Z, in particular, tends to ignore brands that send too many emails. To avoid this, focus on quality over quantity. Send emails only when you have something valuable to say. A bi-weekly or even monthly schedule can build anticipation rather than fatigue.
Personalize, but Don’t Overdo It
While personalized emails are great, they can also feel invasive if done wrong. “Hi [First Name], we know you were browsing our website at 2 a.m.!” might make people feel like they’re being watched. Instead, tailor your emails to offer genuinely helpful or exciting content based on customer behavior, without going overboard.
Make It Fun and Engaging
Humour, playful subject lines, and interactive content are great ways to make your emails stand out. Give your readers something to smile about or offer a quick, engaging poll. This makes your emails something they’ll look forward to opening.
