Email Best Practices

Follow email marketing best practices to improve deliverability and engagement rates.

Optimizing Email Distribution

Timing

  • Consider your audience's time zone and typical engagement patterns.
  • Test different send times to identify when your audience is most responsive.

Segmentation

  • Segment your email list based on relevant criteria (e.g., customer type, product usage).
  • Tailor survey invitations to each segment for increased relevance.

Reminders

  • Set up automated reminders for non-respondents.
  • Limit reminders to avoid survey fatigue and unsubscribes.

Reminder Frequency

Generally, one or two reminders are sufficient. Space them out over a week or two for optimal results.

Tracking and Analyzing Email Performance

  1. Monitor email open rates, click-through rates, and survey completion rates.
  2. Use UTM parameters or unique links to track the source of responses.
  3. Analyze performance across different segments and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Compliance and Privacy Considerations

  • Ensure you have permission to email your contacts.
  • Include an unsubscribe option in all survey invitation emails.
  • Comply with relevant data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CAN-SPAM).

Data Privacy

Always respect your recipients' privacy and data protection rights. Be transparent about how you'll use their data.

Consider integrating Quackback with your CRM or marketing automation tools to:

  • Automatically trigger surveys based on customer interactions.
  • Update customer profiles with survey response data.
  • Create targeted follow-up campaigns based on survey results.
