The last five rules are

2. Avoid sending mails from names like info, subscribers, news, administrator etc. Try using names of people working with you and keep it consistent. A reader decides to open your mail or not in a fraction of a second. Unless your name is familiar to them, they will not open the mail.

Don't you feel good when somebody talks to you by addressing your name. Similarly, just imagine all your conversations with your customers are addressed with their name. How good they would feel.

We have found that our best results in e-mail marketing are closely coupled to how well we customize the content. Based on the context, we use e-mail in a variety of ways. Primarily, we’re trying to help our users take the next step in their next purchase. For example, if buyers searched for and looked at an item but did not purchase it, the goal is to help them find a similar product and complete the transaction at very attractive price. If they lost something, we want to help them find another item like the one they lost at a great price.

There is, of course, a balance to be struck. Not every interaction can be entirely personalized; we would quickly be repeating the same message if we relied only on personalization. As a result, we mix personalized messages with popularity-based messages. Even here, though, we try to be targeted, letting buyers’ activity help us understand the best categories in which to recommend merchandise.

Listen to the marketing noise

Digital marketing is making a lot of noise in the field of marketing. Many of the trend setters have their own perspectives of what works and what fails. However, social media marketing is the one trending these days, for obvious reasons. Your target audience is either on a facebook or on twitter or on some other social media site. That’s where they are and that’s exactly where you have to be to connect with the right audience at the right time.

What works for one brand doesn’t actually work for the other. But when you get to learn what works for certain brands, it would be easier for you to sift through the options to decide on what do you want to implement on your site.

End of the day, it's the value a business can bring to consumers through the limitations of an experience. Whether it's the 140-character limit on Twitter, the 15-second limit on an Instagram video or the fact that content shared on Snapchat self-destructs, these features force companies to create a valuable moment within the confines of a community that is unique, interesting, educational, emotional, and hilarious or any combination of the previous.
