First:

These threads take time to write and the info I'm about to give for FREE can potentially make you 7 figures or more (as they have for my clients)

Let's Go!

👇👇👇
What is a campaign?

These are ONE TIME emails we send to a specific list or segment, giving them fresh content that interests them like:

> A new product
> A seasonal promotion
> A one-time promo

🎯Objective: Maximize revenue while minimizing churn

How do you do this?

👇👇
We monitor our metrics.

Best way is to start with 1 campaign/week and scale up

🟢+ve metrics (Maximize these)
> Open rates
> Click through rates
> Conversion rates
> Revenue

🔴-ve metrics (Minimize these)
> Spam
> Bounce
> Unsubscribes
> Customer complaints

How to implement?
You want to use a campaign calendar.

Amateurs don't plan (or don't even send them lol)

Professionals (like the 7 figure brands our agency manage) plan out campaigns.

Rule of thumb: Plan out campaigns at least 30 days in advance

Let's get into some examples with Campaign # 1..
Campaign # 1 The referral email

Purpose:
> Turn your existing customers into brand evangelists.
> Incentivize your customers to tell their friends and family about your brand.

Segment:
> Previous buyers who have been engaged with your content
Subject line ideas:
> Here: 💵. It’s for you
> Sharing is Caring
> Let us pay you for this

Preview text ideas:
> Send a friend $20 and get $20 off your order.
> Announcing a better way to share [Brand name]
> Sharing [Brand name]

Examples (Click images below)
Campaign # 2 Summer time

Purpose:
> It's summer time so send a related email to play to the relevance of the season.

Segment:
> Depending on the angle you take (conversion vs. content/education) will dictate the segment you should send to.
> If campaign is conversion..
focused, I'd send to your engaged list (exc recent buyers)
> If campaign more content/education focused, send to engaged list (inc recent buyers)

Subject line ideas:
> Going on an Adventure?🌲
> Upgrade Your Summer Style ☀️
> Your Summer Staples
Preview text ideas:
> Check out our Summer lineup
> Summer is full of surprises
> Raise Your Summer Standards

Example (see attached image)

Let's move on to Campaign # 3
Campaign # 3 Last Chance to Buy Email

Purpose:
> Get rid of old inventory.

Segment:
> Send your engaged list (exc. recent buyers). Also consider looping in past buyers that might be slightly outside your typical engaged segment.
Subject line ideas:

> Going, going, almost gone...
> It's now or never

Preview Text Ideas:

Campaign # 4 Free product with purchase

Purpose:

Subject line ideas:

I love the community we're building.

I interviewed @THETYFRANKEL on how he vets & hires high-performing Virtual Assistants.

Someone who manages a team based in the Philippines that supports Ecom businesses, just shared these points below.

// MINI THREAD //
Our team's required to work the US calendar.

There are 10 federal holidays in the US & we have ~18-22 holidays in a year.

To make it easier for the teams we support, we work on your work days & don't on your holidays.

VAs are very flexible you can just tell them outright.
There are 3 major metros (areas composed of multiple cities/business districts) to hire talent from (Manila, Cebu, Davao).

& around 5 to 10, 2nd tier cities (Clark, Subic, Batangas, Cagayan de Oro, etc).

You can get great people from 2nd tier cities even if you have a budget

There’s one metric that most people don’t quite understand when it comes to email.

But if you master this, your conversion rate WILL go up.

Let’s talk about some intelligent ways to increase your click-through rate & make 5-figures on your next campaign.

I want to quickly reiterate what the function of an email is.

Emails are not for closing. They’re meant for increasing engagement and pre-selling the lander.

The KPI to nail is CTR. The higher the CTR, the better a job you’ve done for your brand.

The fastest way to grow revenue for your brand WITHOUT paid ads is to set up a welcome flow for non-buyers.

Avg industry open rate: 26.5%
Our client avg: 50%+

I'm going to lay out the exact blueprint we use to consistently help our clients outperform industry averages.

The April Fools' Day Email:

April Fools Day presents a great opportunity to engage your audience w/witty content.

It also makes for a great opportunity to incorporate interactive elements in your email.

Think entertaining GIFs, animations, pun-filled copy, bright-colors, etc
What I'm getting at is: April Fools' Day is all about having fun with your marketing messaging and it's a great way to humanize your brand.

The King Kanine email highlights that this sale is no joke. They keep this email simple and also provide a solid discount.
Claire’s has a 1 liner of text overlaid on the image that's upside down: "Don't be an April Fool". Here they're using a large % off. I think 50% off is a bit extreme, but to each their own. I think there needs to be a more clear CTA instead of the one they're currently using ">".
