- Transactional messages that can be automated:Purchase confirmationShopping noticesOut-of-stockService request receivedNotificationsWelcome e-mailsAlertsUpdatesCross-sell / upsellRemindersFROM COPERNICA site:Setting up event driven campaignsUse the marketing software to set up event driven campaigns. By email or mobile, the choice is yours. Respond to several contact moments during the customer life cycle, for example when registering for a newsletter or rewarding someone who's been a loyal customer for 5 years. 'Common' event driven campaigns include:Welcoming campaignsBirthday mailingsRetention mailings or loyalty programsAbandoned shop cart mailingsWinback campaignsYou can automate other contact moments as well using the software. Contact moments that would not seem relevant at first, but that can stimulate dialogue (and conversion) with your relation. For example, set up automated campaigns for relations that:Have not purchased anything for an entire yearHave not been active on your website for some time. You can determine the time range by using the selection rules. Send an email to these relations, asking them whether their contact data is still up-to-date.https://www.copernica.com/en/features/campaigns/event-driven-campaigns http://www.slideshare.net/Silverpop/transactional-email-best-practices
- You need to grab the potential customers' attention. If you want the recipients to pay attention to your email message, content becomes before design.A CMO Council study* found that 41% of U.S. internet users threatened to stop buying from companies that sent irrelevant messages.Don't lose your key messaging in text that has no value to your potential client. Be direct and keep it short. Most people scan emails for information that they deem to be important. If it's too long, they will lose interest and delete it. Be efficient with your words.

- A pretty design and lousy or irrelevant offer will not get you the response you hoped for.Focus ion content /offer first, make it desirable and valuable to your target audience. Then worry about design. Each component of an email message must be carefully crafted because it can ultimately affect your campaign. Subject lines should be short and should clearly communicate the message; consider what someone will see if they view their email in list form. "Special Donor Update from Smith University" is much more effective than "Special Message for You.”Read more: Email Marketing Guidelines | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/way_5197386_email-marketing-guidelines.html#ixzz22xQ0rYls

- Testing is the single most important technique marketers can use to improve the effectiveness of e-mail. Compared with testing direct mail, testing e-mail messages on a representative sample of your circulation is inexpensive and quick. You can test the content, time of delivery, presentation, offers/coupons, or placement. What's more, due to the interactive nature of the technology, you can get test results much more quickly with e-mail than with direct mail.Test & DebugE-mail clients issuesMobile accessibilityTest & Learn Subject lineCopyImages Time of sendingRemember control group
- Perform split-run test on emailingsA split-run test (also known as A/B test) sends two or more versions of an emailing to a part of your target group. Certain elements can be altered such as images, subject line, etc. Only test 1 variable at a time at a time. If two different documents have been designed you control the following:The number of emails sent within the testThe target group’s size receiving each versionRun time of the testThe best performing version is automatically sent towards the rest of your target group.
- Test the renderability of emailings with LitmusYou check the renderability in the most popular email clients with Copernica before sending your emailings. The popular ‘Litmus preview tool’ provides you with a list of previews of your emailing in different email clients. All done with just a simple push of the button. This is an transparent way to check whether images are displayed in different email clients.
- Optimize and analyze email campaigns by using email reports and results. Gain an overall perspective on the performance of your emailings based on the collected data. Copernica Marketing Software provides you with transparent and extensive reporting.Are your emailings performing as planned?Copernica generates different types of reporting based on the results of your email campaigns. Detailed information on the response of an emailing is provided in different tabs.Distinction between different types of reportingThe software distinguishes the results of a template and the email statistics of a specific document. You are able to use a filtering system when viewing the statistics. This enables you to view the reports of a certain time range. In the general overview of the email statistics, you are able to search for reporting more accurately based on date, type of mailing or the number of sent messages. Furthermore, it is possible to view the email reporting of your account. Have a look at the overview of all sent mailings on behalf of your account and the different statistics.In the overview of statistics you can find the following important email statistics:ImpressionsYou can monitor precisely what happens to your email campaigns. Copernica sends along a small invisible image with every email. The image is downloaded from our server everytime someone opens the email. This enables us to tell you the exact number of impressions your email has generated. Under the tab ‘Impressions’ in the software, you can see the exact number of impressions measured each hour after sending your email. The total number of impressions and the number of unique recipients is also shown.ClicksOur email statistics show you how many clicks are generated by the hyperlinks in your email. Copernica converts your used hyperlinks. The conversion helps us accurately measure the number of clicks in your email. This helps you find out which specific hyperlinks generate the most clicks in your email. In the email statistics we report the total amount of clicks on a link followed by the number of clicks of unique recipients. These two numbers will differ when recipients clicked twice or multiple times on the same link.Top domains and email clientsWould you like to find out what email client is most used amongst your target group? Our email statistics show you whether your emailing is received in Outlook, Gmail, Live mail or other email clients.We also provide you with clear reports on the most popular domains within your database. It is a quick way of telling whether or not the majority of your target group has a Hotmail account.Share the email reportsWould you like to share the reporting of your email campaign with the rest of your organization or other external parties? Copernica enables you to share the results by email. Thanks to the 'share statistics'-feature you are able to send the email statistics of a template or specific document to one or more addressees. These are redirected to your statistics via a hyperlink. The feature also enables you to determine how long the statistics are available to the recipient(s).https://www.copernica.com/en/features/emailmarketing/email-reporting
