Email Scheduling
To maximize impact, plan your email schedule strategically:
- Select a few or all of your email templates for April.
- Space them out over several weeks (e.g., Week 1: Email 1, Week 3: Email 2, Week 4: Email 3).
- If your audience has deadlines, adjust accordingly—send the final reminder 3-5 days before the deadline for urgency.
Optimizing CTA Links & Best Practices
Your Call-to-Action (CTA) should lead recipients directly to the relevant page, ensuring a seamless user experience.
- Use specific links that take users exactly where they need to go.
- Example: "[Complete Your Course Now]" should link to the "6-Hour Defensive Driving Course" page, not the homepage.
- Avoid generic home page links that require extra clicks to find the right information.
Branding & Personalization
Make your emails feel more relevant and engaging by incorporating personalization and localized branding.
- Use the recipient’s first name if possible for a more personal touch.
- Localize your messaging by tweaking copy for different audiences.
- Example: Instead of a generic phrase, use "YOURSTATE-approved course" to make it more relevant.
Subject Line & Header Best Practices
Your subject line is the first thing recipients see—make it count!
- Keep it under 50 characters to improve open rates.
- Use urgency or highlight key benefits.
- Example: "Dismiss Your Ticket Fast" or "Keep Your Record Clean".
- Ensure the email header aligns with the subject line for consistency and clarity.
By following these strategies, you can improve the effectiveness of your emails and drive more engagement from your audience.
Email Templates
Please note, the email headers are text-only. If your platform allows for a banner image, feel free to insert one from our Canva Template—but if not, you can skip it. Also, make sure to replace any bold text with the appropriate details before posting!
