Web Design & Email Marketing Working Together
Most business owners who have eCommerce websites understand the purpose of sending emails to subscribers is to get them to a landing page on
their site. What’s less clear is what web design has to do with it. You might have tried some email marketing campaigns yourself but don’t
understand why they aren’t converting the way you want them to. This is where website design plays a crucial role in email marketing
success.
Website landing pages are designed to move prospects down the sales funnel, turning interested browsers into buyers. Getting people to
your eCommerce website via email, though, is just one step in the process of selling products online. To create the perfect one-two punch
for digital marketing, an eCommerce website design must be optimized to increase conversions. Together with following email marketing best
practices, an effective web design is what helps you reach your sales goals faster.
Dos and Don’ts of eCommerce Email Marketing
A successful email marketing campaign is a whole lot different from writing emails to friends, family, and even business colleagues. There
are email marketing best practices to be followed if you want to get the optimal results. Here are our top five.
Personalize, personalize, personalize. It honestly can’t be said enough. From specific recommendations from past purchases to abandoned cart
emails, creating personalized experiences for your subscribers gives them the individual treatment they demand.
Dynamic email designs that include personalization provide a more meaningful experience for customers.
Automation. eCommerce email campaigns automated to address abandoned carts, welcoming new visitors, or spark interest in a new product,
provide lasting value to your eCommerce business.
Reward loyalty. Customer loyalty emails leverage a return customer’s value, which experts say is worth up to 10 times as much as their first
purchase!
Avoid hard-sell tactics. If every email focuses on selling your product, people will disengage. Email campaigns are about building
relationships via useful content that engages readers, creates trust, and leads to higher open rates.

sure people know about the show and come in droves. UX, on the other hand, is all about keeping the audience entertained, ensuring they
