When Email Marketing Campaigns Fail

The truth is, companies underestimate the power of email by about 90%. In the same way we are said to use only 10% of our brain’s true potential, the majority of companies crank email newsletters out without much effort and are disappointed when they don’t get results.

Follow the Leaders

  1. The Hustle: Known for its smart content on business and technology, The Hustle keeps readers engaged with clear and concise writing.
  2. The Milk Road: A daily newsletter about cryptocurrency, The Milk Road is great at creating engaging content. It does this so well that its many readers are drawn to its writing quality, with crypto news being a secondary interest.
  3. 5 Tweet Tuesday: Curated by App Sumo, this newsletter is another example of interesting and engaging content, high praise for its ability to captivate readers.
  4. Sunday Snippets: Written by Ali Abdaal, this newsletter feels like a friendly message, sharing insights on business, life successes, and challenges.
  5. Growth Experts: If you’re not on our mailing list yet – you should be! Our founder Jason writes it every week, and it’s pretty decent, if we do say so ourselves.

You’ve Got Mail

A good idea is to follow these expert newsletters to see if you can spot the tactics described in the points above. Test them out in your own writing – and here’s a neat trick – ask a colleague to read it back to you out loud. If you find your mind wandering, then go back and write it again.
