THE RESURGENCE OF EMAIL MARKETING – HOW TO RUN IMPACTFUL AND SECURE CAMPAIGNS IN
LIGHT OF COVID-19

In the past two months, we’ve seen commonplace business practices completely
upended due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. Brands of all shapes and
sizes are reevaluating what success looks like this year and amending their
business goals accordingly. This has a huge impact on marketing as marketers
scramble to engage with their customers in appropriate and thoughtful ways,
often with smaller budgets than they had at the beginning of the year. 

One element of the marketing mix that has taken a front seat in light of
COVID-19 is email marketing. Every consumer with an email address has received
email updates from companies they’ve engaged with over the last 10 years –
regardless of when their last touchpoint was. While marketers work to ensure
every campaign shows clear results, an often overlooked element – during
“normal” times, but even more so in times of upheaval – is security. As brands
begin to rely on email marketing more frequently, they must prioritize security
standards to protect both their consumers’ information and internal data from
malicious parties. Below are some best practices to ensure a successful and
secure email marketing campaign. 


INCREASE DELIVERABILITY

For email campaigns to be successful emails have to first and foremost make it
to the consumers’ inbox. As of 2019, nearly one in five emails were caught in
spam filters, never to be read by consumers.

This is a huge issue for marketers who are relying on email campaigns to reach
their customers and elicit engagement. While there are various ways to improve
deliverability, one integral step is implementing global authentication
protocols. Core security measures – SPF, DKIM and DMARC – work together to
authenticate senders’ email addresses. This ultimately instills confidence in
consumers who can clearly recognize that the emails they’re receiving are
credible and from a brand they trust. Our free ‘Investigate’ tool can give you
insight into the current status of the above protocols.


SHARE RELEVANT INFORMATION

With consumers being bombarded with emails right now, it’s essential to provide
relevant and timely information. This is important for two key reasons, with the
first being brand reputation. Today, consumers support brands who prioritize
transparency and invest in social good. The moment an irrelevant or tone-deaf
message comes from a brand, you can bet their consumers are already looking for
a new option. The second reason brands should be sharing relevant and timely
information is that it increases the odds that your consumers will continue to
open and engage with emails in the future. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in
the U.S., email marketers across all industries have seen a 5% increase in
newsletter opens. To avoid losing consumer interest and ensure higher
engagement, brands must keep an acute pulse on sentiment and share information
accordingly. This is especially important during a crisis. 


BE HUMAN IN YOUR COMMUNICATION

The final essential element when it comes to email marketing is to remember that
your customers are humans. Right now everyone is dealing with this crisis in
their own way.

Brands can build additional trust with their audiences by considering the unique
and uncharted circumstances we’re currently facing. This not only applies to the
information you’re sharing, but also the frequency you’re sharing it – now is
not the time to fill your customers’ inboxes with incessant messages. Now more
than ever, consumers are eager to engage with brands they can rely on during
this crisis and will quickly cut out brands who are not providing meaningful
content. The most successful marketing campaigns are those that humanize their
brand, and connect directly and thoughtfully with their customers.
