Tips to Increase Response in
Email
Opt-in email marketing is no different than
normal direct marketing in that small simple changes will
increase your response and success. These tips will help

sweetest sound" Having first name in both the subject of
the email, and the body of the message will help your email
get read and not just deleted or being mistaken for junk
mail.

Always test and target to your market, response rates can be
up to 20% with the right message. Trial and error will prove
you right or wrong. The power of the promotion to an in-house
list is something very over looked. The list must have agreed

junk email.
