Step 1 — Test your subject lines

To increase your open rate you can test your email subject lines to see which types are the most effective. You can do this by sending your emails out in batches, with one batch receiving one subject line and the other a different subject line.

Step 2 — Format your emails well

Emails are read on different device types. Your emails need to be equally easy to read on a mobile device as they are on a desktop, and each of your calltoactions (CTAs) need to be easy to click too.

Test sending plain text emails, emails with images, emails with lots of branding, and emails with videos.

Step 3 — Optimise the flow of your content

People scan emails like they do with blog posts and books, so test the flow of your emails too.

Some people scan emails using a classic F shape, from lefttoright, down, to the right, then down. Others follow a U shape, from toptobottom and then back up again.

Step 4 — Use your personality. Don't be "brandy"

People hate boring generic emails from businesses so use some personality in your emails.

Step 5 — Personalise emails with names, etc

As well as using your personality, personalise your emails with your customer's name.

Step 6 — Use incredible CTAs

Your CTAs REALLY have to catch the eye and make people want to click. If they're not persuasive then nobody is going to give them any attention and click them.

Step 7 — Don't use TOO MANY CTAs

Don't go too crazy. Using too many CTAs can have the opposite effect on people, resulting in them ignoring them altogether.

Step 8 — Use urgency

Using a deadline for a discount or live event (in the case of free webinars, for example), can persuade people to act immediately rather than waiting to return to that email later in the day or week.

Step 9 — Test your CTAs

David Ogilvy once said, "Never stop testing, and your advertising will never stop improving.", so you MUST keep testing your CTAs if you want to see your clickthrough rate increase.

Step 10 — Test your emails

Once you've tested everything to this point you really need to go back to the beginning and retest everything again.

And again.

Never stop testing the format of your emails, or the type of language you use, or how many images you include.

Step 11 — Send your emails at the best time

Try sending emails at different times of the day to see when people are opening them. Depending on what your CTAs are, you may find that your people who open your emails in the morning don't click your CTA, but people who open them in the evening do.

Step 12 — Resend your emails to nonopeners

Try resending your emails to people who haven't opened your emails yet. Don't do so on the same day (as some people just won't have seen their emails yet), but a day or so afterwards should be perfectly fine.

Step 13 — Filter and segment your mailing list

Not everyone will love your content equally. Depending on your industry, some people may like some of your content but not everything, so separate them into different segments within your mailing list

Step 14 — Clean your email list

If people on your mailing list aren't opening your emails and clicking on your CTAs then should they be on your mailing list?

You're removing the people who, if they're not going to open your emails are probably never going to convert anyway, so make your mailing list healthier and remove anyone who hasn't been active for the last few weeks or months.

Step 15 — Refresh your emails

Old emails in your automated chain may not have been improved since you originally wrote them. It's not uncommon for businesses to not have returned to improve their emails FOR YEARS so don't fall into that trap.
