Final Email Marketing Tips as We Close Out 2024

As we wrap up the year, I want to leave you with two truths about email marketing that hit me hard after thousands of sends:

  1. Know your audience better than anyone else.
    The best copy, flashiest graphics, or cleverest subject lines won’t save you if you’re writing to the wrong crowd. Get laser-focused on your ideal client. Speak to their goals, fears, and dreams—not yours.

  2. Email marketing is full of catch-22s.
    Images get clicks, which boosts your engagement and keeps you out of the dreaded spam folder. But images also trigger those annoying “Do you trust this sender?” warnings, especially if you’re ramping up a new newsletter. My advice? Test everything. What works for one list won’t work for another, so find your balance.

Email marketing isn’t just about landing in the inbox; it’s about landing in the reader’s head. Bring the effort, stay consistent, and never underestimate the power of a killer subject line. Now go crush 2025 like the badass you are!
