Question: Are Your Email Open Rates In the Toilet?

Don’t feel too bad. You’re not alone.

According to a report by Campaign Monitor, the average email open rate has dropped by 56% since 2009.

And it’s no surprise.

Between promo tabs, spam filters, and the onslaught of new competitors every single day, there are just TOO MANY roadblocks and too… much… dang… NOISE.

In 2017 alone, 269 BILLION emails were sent per day, and that number is expected to grow to 333.2 billion by 2022. Ouch.

The problem for email marketers is clear.

It’s harder than ever to get our messages seen by the subscribers who matter most.
We Figured Out How To Fix Our Email Open Rate Woes

Yes, there IS something you can make your audience take notice and get them to look at your emails again.

You can launch an email newsletter.

Wait, don’t laugh.

I get it. Email newsletters are sooo 2006, right?

Nope. 🙂
The True Story of How DigitalMarketer (Nearly) Tripled Our Email Open Rates

Back in September of 2019, our open rates were in steady decline, too.

In fact, it got so bad that at one point our open rates were in the single digits.

Oof, talk about a punch in the gut.

As marketers, we work so friggin’ hard to build up our subscriber lists. And for what?! What’s the point of having a list if no one is opening your emails?

We seriously considered deleting our entire list and starting from all over again.

Maybe you’ve been there too. But with almost nothing to lose, we decided to try this one last thing, something we hadn’t even thought about in almost 10 years.
Eureka! A 24.7% Open Rate

It worked!

Our last ditch effort to “kick it old school, circa 2006” was to start sending a weekly newsletter again. And it was the difference-maker—it almost TRIPLED the average open rates we had been getting with promotions and content announcements alone.

In retrospect, the solution couldn’t have been more obvious.

Companies like TheHustle, TheSKIMM, and Morning Brew have spent the last few years building their empires by delivering industry-centric news and content in the form of an email newsletter.

Email was experiencing a renaissance right under our noses! But most modern marketers were too busy chasing Instagram Stories, TikTok, or whatever the latest fad-of-the-week was to notice that the single-best revenue channel was back, and better than ever.

Social Media didn’t kill email.

Slack didn’t kill email.

Millennials couldn’t even kill email (in fact, it turns out they like their inboxes just as much as their parents).

So the only question left is…
What’s Your Email Newsletter Strategy?

You read this far. So either a newsletter isn’t a part of your current email marketing strategy, or you have one in place that isn’t getting you the results you were hoping for.

But here’s the thing… We did all the work for you.

We did the testing, we found the format and structures that work, and we created the templates that you can use to get better open rates and increased engagement with your email marketing efforts.

And all of it is wrapped up in our Nurture a Loyal Customer Base with a “Value-Driven” Email Newsletter Workshop where you’ll learn exactly how to create your very own weekly Email Newsletter that will…

Increase open and click through rates
Improve email deliverability
Generate more email traffic
Decrease unsubscribes
Build trust and authority with your audience
Improve your email marketing ROI

And the best part is that ANYONE can follow this process—even if you’re a so-so writer without a lot of time on your hands.

Look, email marketing isn’t going anywhere, but it’s up to you to get your declining open rates out of the proverbial toilet and back to where they were a decade ago.

I didn’t know it at the time, but creating a newsletter was the #1 most important thing I could do to turn around our business for the better… It’s a proven strategy that anyone can apply, including you.
