How to grow your email list

In the last 18 months our email list has grown 3x from ~3,000 to now 10,328 at the time of this podcast. During the previous 8 years our email list grew at a snail’s pace.  Here’s what we did to amplify that growth.

1.  Opt-in form instead of ‘no rego required’

For the first 12 months after we released our flagship Web Strategy Planning Template, we had it available for download with no registration required.…

In this episode Toby quizzes Adam about the email marketing he’s been doing with the Bluewire News.  What follows are 6 unexpected findings.

Show notes

1. Shorter subject lines work better

Why? They stand out in an inbox full of long subject lines, and they are more reflective of emails from friends. Who writes a 20 word subject line to a friend!

2. You get loads of replies via riddles and brain teasers

Adam discovered that asking readers to reply works well, and asking them to reply to a fun, social thing like a riddle or brain teaser works even better.  …

Early days:

  • Adam had been involved in nightclub marketing and had used email in the early 2000s.
  • We had very few other options at the time – social media as we know it today didn’t exist.
  • Had our first 3 clients, and we wanted to “add-value” to them, and our readers.
  • But our first Bluewire News email was a disaster. I sent “Dear Adam” to everyone on our database!

It evolved 2006 – 2012

  • We send monthly Bluewire News emails for 7 years (2006-2012).

Marketing Experiments: Email Content That Gets Clicked

Marketing experiments

Email content that gets clicked

Continuing with my marketing experiments, I want to share what I’ve learnt about email content that gets the best click through rates.

[For the uninitiated, a click through rate (CTR) is percentage of people who open your email who then proceed to click through to a link]. Industry-average click through rates are 4%. 

If you’ve been wondering what the click through rates are on the Bluewire News emails, they range from 9.8% to 34.5% and typically average 20+%.  The Bluewire News goes out every week to over 6,300 subscribers.…

Marketing experiments: Email Subject Lines That Get Opened

Marketing experiments

Updated on September 12th, 2019

Since I began sending weekly Bluewire News emails at the start of the year, I’ve been experimenting with ‘Subject Lines’ and ‘From Names’ to see what gets the best open rates.

I usually run each of the A/B tests on a sample size of about 1,000 contacts each, for between 1-2 hours, and then send the ‘winner’ to the remainder of the database.

Here’s what I’ve learnt from the A/B split testing I’ve conducted.

Test 1: From Name

Version A:  Adam Franklin & Toby Jenkins
Version B:  Bluewire Media

The winner:  Version B by 10.3% 6.9% and 31.4%
The first time I did this I got the unexpected result of the company name outperforming our personal names by 10.3%.…

Marketing experiments: weekly vs monthly email newsletter

 0 Shares
Tweet
Email open rate diagram

At the start of this year, I decided to heed Dan Zarrella’s advice, and test sending a weekly email newsletter rather than a monthly one.

Dan told me in an interview that you could email as often as daily without noticing an increase in unsubscribes. The caveat of course is that you are delivering quality content.

Here’s what I’ve learnt from sending weekly newsletters vs monthly.

Open rates: down to 19%, but plus an extra 10%

On the monthly newsletter, open rates were usually 25%.  With a weekly newsletter, open rates have drifted lower to ~19%.…

Are You Solving Your Customers’ Problems?

I’m currently reading Reality Marketing Revolution! by Mike Lieberman & Eric Keiles.

Reality Marketing is based on adding an extra step to the marketing cycle – Lieberman & Keiles argue that going straight from an ad to a sale just isn’t realistic anymore. Instead, it takes more to take the cake: Mix advertising, public relations & referrals, add a free resource, and then go for the sale.

Customers want more bang for their buck than ever before, and the Reality Marketing crew say that you won’t be in for a chance until you stop talking about yourself & start focusing on the needs & wants of your customer.…
