Making e-Communications More Effective

Last week, I had the opportunity to facilitate an Idea Swap session, sponsored by ASAE & The Center, about the challenges of email marketing. One of the topics was how to create an effective e-newsletter. Participants were frustrated with reduced open and click-through rates and were seeking ideas to improve performance. We talked about how to benchmark results and set parameters for success.

There is no doubt with the doubling of Spam over the past two years, readers have email fatigue. To offset this trend, you have to be smarter and invest more in the creation and distribution of your e-publications. Value and relevancy are the keys.

The first article discusses our redesign of the ASAE & The Center Section e-Newsletters. In this effort, we attempted to create a design that supported the sharing of value and the bringing of relevant information to each section. Send us an email at info@commpartners.com, if the time is right to reevaluate to your e-publication(s).

 
Richard Finstein, President

 
Relevant e-publications engage
and inspire readers, and provide
a high perceived-value benefit of
belonging to your organization.
