Effective Email Copy

width="84" align="left" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.687">Recently we discussed
best practices for E-Newsletters. Now let's take a closer look at how to write effective
email copy. I  encourage my clients to first ask themselves what they think
their readers want to hear. What motivates them? Content that puts the reader first
is critical to establishing value and sustaining open rates. Second, ask yourself
what action you want readers to take. Armed with a clear understanding of your audience's
needs and your desired outcome, here are seven tips to guide your email content: href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102637600918&s=12616&e=0010RDgbZmrCLCdwmC45ulUMf8wfHkQeWxSMFgnLOz2ONzywx5-yaGGZBzMx20q83vGU6BfEphdaoNRWUIukJcW3hhHlMYtclO2-CmeYn9OkPSIfQ5a74Fpjad1E8oX8dtUsYNg-trXCrzlagmzkyXy_OouUHWWPumbyoILnrGvqLd3c6BgqJFX0w=="

a valuable promotion tool. No business person could live without the convenience
of having a business card to hand to prospective clients or customers. Handing out
a business card is so much easier than writing out all your contact information
for a person you've just met. target="_blank" linktype="link" track="on"> >>>

you go: "Sales are down because of the economy. My customers simply aren't
buying as much." If your business is going through this, put the following
seven ideas into practice and you'll find that the economy's effect on you will
be minimal. In fact, you may notice no change--or even a positive one. target="_blank" linktype="link" track="on">>>>
