Have you heard of the phrase “ONE SIZE FITS ALL”?
This works quite well for devising policies or procedures within companies or single departments where individuals work for a single goal BUT…
If you are applying this strategy for your email marketing campaigns, you are likely to be annoying your customers/prospects by sending them emails/information that they don’t need.
As a result, prospects might unsubscribe from your list even before you get a chance to offer them something that would have been valuable to them and ultimately this could lead to a LOST SALE in future.
When it comes to email marketing, the phrase needs a slight tweak.
The phrase should say “NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL”
Not everyone on your list of customers and prospects are interested in everything you sell so it is important that you group them into different segments… and then send different emails based on the needs of each group.
Outlook has a very powerful feature called Categories that you can use to segment your contacts.
Unfortunately it is not as easy as it could be to do email merges with this!
Users of our Email Merge PRO for Outlook software can easily use the Email Merge Wizard to both send out emails to particular segments/categories and to maintain their mailing lists.
The Email Merge Wizard lets you save your selected contacts to a new or existing category easily inside the Wizard.
