When composing your own campaigns, you need to keep in mind some points to make your emails look more professional. Here are some tips on how you can maximize the results from your emails.
Email is a low cost marketing tool - Try something new or different in 2009.

Make sure you are brand compliant. If you changed anything about your company logo or brand, make sure all of your marketing designs, including emails, now include your updated corporate look. Consistency is important
Measure results - Tools are available that accurately measure click-through rate, conversion rate, how a person one arrived at your website, and more, to enable you to assess the success of different email campaigns.
Make sure your email list is up-to-date. Add any emails you need to include on the list and remove any that have unsubscribed from your previous emails. It is important to monitor and manage any bounced or failed email messages. Set time aside to look at the error reports of each message and unsubscribe if the email address is no longer active.
It is important when you send an email as a marketing tool to allow the reader the choice to unsubscribe. If your emails are informative and to the point, no reader would take the trouble to unsubscribe. However, besides the fact that this is standard legal requirement, this is also a very valid tip on how to effectively use email marketing.
