How to Turn Email Subscribers into Paying Customers

Mailrelay is ideal for anyone running a startup, overseeing an online store or developing content-based businesses, as it is both trustworthy and simple.

See the Importance of Your Email List

Your email subscribers have more to them than just a name. They are individuals who have expressed interest in your business. It provides a reliable foundation for your work. However, what really matters is how you continue to cultivate your interest.

Consider your list to be made up of a community. Share messages, tips or discounts that are relevant to what they are looking for. If you keep giving value, subscribers will be more likely to purchase when the situation suits them.

Segment Your Audience

One-size-fits-all emails rarely perform well. By dividing your list, you are able to send appropriate content to each group.

You can segment based on:

• Subscriber behaviour (clicks, opens, downloads)
• Purchase history
• Location or time zone
• Engagement level

With Mailrelay, segmenting your list is an easy process. Real-time data and interaction can be used to make rules and filters on the fly.

Build a Clear Customer Journey

Make sure your email marketing matches the different stages customers go through:

• Share educational blog posts, free resources or content.
• You might include product comparisons, case studies or testimonials for them.
• Action — Give discounts, offer special deals or let users try your product for free.

Broadcasting emails at these stages helps bring customers closer to making a purchase. You can use automated email flows for these situations too. As an example, sending a welcome email and then sharing helpful content may help a new subscriber to convert.

Use Personalisation and Dynamic Content

Personalised emails perform better. You can make it more personal by adding the subscriber's first name to the subject or to your greeting. Still, personalisation can be taken to a higher level.

You can easily use Mailrelay's AI and automation to change content blocks according to what users have chosen before. For instance, display items that are similar to what the user has looked at or bought before. It allows emails to be more useful and boosts the odds of someone acting on their interest.

Send Emails Consistently

Trust develops better when you are consistent. Choose a timeframe—be it weekly, bi-weekly or monthly—and make sure you keep to it. Contacting your customers often ensures they don't forget about your brand.

However, don't overdo it. Flooding inboxes leads to unsubscribes. Instead, aim for balance: stay visible without being intrusive.

Analyse your data to discover when your subscribers are most likely to open your emails. By using Mailrelay's SMTP and reporting tools, you can closely monitor open rates, click rates and conversions.

Include Clear CTAs

It is important to know the reason for each email you send. Your CTA should align with the goal you have in mind. Make it clear to readers what you want them to do.

Good CTA examples include:

• "Buy Now"
• "See the Full Offer"
• "Download the Guide"

Add buttons to your CTA so it catches the user's attention. Giving people one clear thing to do is more effective than offering several.

Test and Optimise Regularly

Improvement comes from testing. Test using different headlines, arrangements, pictures and buttons. Keep tabs on how your advertising is performing.

Some simple A/B test ideas:

• Subject line A versus Subject line B
• Plain-text email vs. HTML email
• Different send times

The detailed insights from Mailrelay help you make these improvements. As time passes, these small improvements make a big difference.

Build Trust with Social Proof

Individuals often use what others think to influence their choices. Mentioning testimonials, reviews or stories of your clients' success in your emails makes them more credible.

Mention the feedback that is positive. If someone had a positive experience, make a short statement about it or link to a case study. They give you more confidence and lessen your doubt.

Make the Buying Process Smooth

Always make sure the buying process is easy, so your email campaign doesn't fail at the end. See to it that your landing pages are quick to load, built for mobile use and focused on the message.

When your emails lead to webpages, they should be user-friendly, have very little distraction and checkout should be quick. If there are no difficulties between signing up and buying, more people will become buyers.
