You have to actually run a real email marketing campaign to realize this. <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have 1,000 email subscribers, only around 20% of those subscribers will open your emails. For most marketers and industries, the numbers are even lower than 20%. Because <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/whats-a-good-email-open-rate-and-how-you-can-improve-yours\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the email open rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can differ from one industry to another.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, there are clever businesses that run email campaigns with over 30% and sometimes 50% open rates.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do they do it? And why is your email open rate so low? Let\u2019s find out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Is Email Open Rate?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before going further, it\u2019s important that you understand what this \u201cemail open rate\u201d really is and why it matters.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The email open rate is what helps you measure the effectiveness of your email campaigns by showing you how many people viewed your email.<\/span><br><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can find out the open rate for your email lists and each of your email campaigns using reports or analytics on your email marketing service. It will also show you the industry average open rate to let you compare the stats.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improving the email open rate is the only way for you to increase the value and make the most of your email list. <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re seeing a low open rate for your email campaigns, check to see if you\u2019re making any of these mistakes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#1 Using Unoptimized Subject Lines<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The subject line is the most important part of your email that 47% of your email recipients will use to decide whether to open the email or move it to the trash bin. <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A boring and long subject line with complicating words will never arouse the curiosity of your recipient to make them view your email. It\u2019s better if you spend more time <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/101-email-subject-lines-your-subscribers-cant-resist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">optimizing your subject line<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> than writing the email.<\/span><br>\u00a0<br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep your subject line short. Limit the subject line to 6-10 words. Make it catchy and use it to build curiosity in the user to get them to read the content in your email. <\/span><br>Also, don\u2019t be afraid to use emojis in your subject line to make it stand out from rest of the emails in a busy inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#2 Not Using A Subheader<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most marketers don\u2019t realize that email services like Gmail allow its users to preview the first sentence of an email before opening it. This is the second most important part of an email that helps influence recipients to view an email.<\/span><br><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead of starting your emails with \u201chello reader\u201d, you should use the first sentence of your email to summarize your email and build up hype.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some email templates feature built-in subheaders. Use this wisely to your advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#3 Skipping List Segmentation <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The email marketing services available today come with so many advanced technologies and features to make things easier for even complete beginners to make the most of their email marketing campaigns.<\/span><br><a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/segmentation-and-writing-email-newsletters-for-a-specific-audience\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Email list segmentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is one of those features that allow you to target specific audiences through your campaigns.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if you were to create a segment for the job titles of your subscribers, you can write specific email campaigns to target that segment of your list more effectively. Like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cTips To Land Your Next Promotion\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cGift Ideas For Your Boss\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#4 Landing On Spam Or Promotions Folder<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you keep seeing zero opens for your email campaigns, then your emails might be getting removed from the inbox by the Spam filter.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The words you use to write your email subject line can actually make your emails land in the Spam folder. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/emailmarketing.comm100.com\/email-marketing-ebook\/spam-words.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suspicious words<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> like \u201cFree Money\u201d, \u201cOrder Now\u201d, \u201cSpecial Promotion\u201d, and \u201cBuy Direct\u201d must be removed from your subject lines at all costs.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new Promotions tab in Gmail is another folder that Google uses to filter promotional emails. Most Gmail users always avoid this tab. <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In your welcome email to your new subscribers, encourage them to whitelist your email or mark your emails as priority to make sure they receive your emails in the Primary tab.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#5 Sending Campaigns At The Wrong Time<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The timing of your email campaigns also has to be perfect to reach the highest number of recipients. Because sending your email on a wrong day or at the wrong time can lower your open rates.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the best days <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coschedule.com\/blog\/best-time-to-send-email\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for sending an email<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. And timing it at around 6 AM, 10 AM, or 2 PM will make your campaigns even more successful.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While these times and days have been proven to be effective, they may change depending on your geo-location and your audience. <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luckily, most email marketing services today comes with tools for determining the best times for sending an email campaign. You can use those tools and test different times and days to find the perfect timing for your email list.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#6 Forgetting About Mobile Users<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The smartphone is now everyone&#8217;s go-to device for accessing the web and email. According to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/litmus.com\/blog\/mobile-opens-hit-51-percent-android-claims-number-3-spot\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Litmus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, mobile devices are responsible for 51% of email opens.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you don\u2019t design your emails for mobile-first, your email will not be viewed by the majority of subscribers.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep mobile devices in mind when crafting your email. This means compressing the images, using short subject lines, and formatting the content to properly fit various types of device screens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#7 Not Using A\/B Split Tests<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-split-testing-your-email-newsletters\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A\/B split testing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is one of the most useful tools that you get from an email marketing service. However, most don\u2019t pay much attention to this feature. <\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Running a split test on your email campaigns can help you determine what type of subject lines works better for your emails and which times or days are most effective for sending emails.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t let this useful tool go to waste. Use it to test your emails and improve open rates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wrapping Up<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main goal of the email open rate is to help you develop a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/in\/blog\/how-to-build-your-email-list-and-why-email-is-critical-for-success\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">high-performing email list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. So, you should always look for ways to optimize your next email campaign to outperform the open rate of your last.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Try different subject lines, segments, and always experiment with new ideas to keep boosting your email open rate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Syed Balkhi is the founder of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">WPBeginner<\/span><\/a>, the largest free WordPress resource site.
