Email Newsletters: Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3 - Conclusion
(Page 5 of 5 )
Testing should become second nature and a way of life for every successful Internet marketer. There are few less expensive and more highly profitable tools available to the online business person than testing. Use it constantly, and it will reward you with more sales and long term customers.
Putting every element in an email newsletter to the test over time, is essential for successful marketing campaigns. Failure to test the various components of the opening, the click throughs, and the conversion sections can leave many potential sales out in the cold.
Since many testing procedures are very low cost, or even entirely free to implement, there is no reason to not test everything possible. As a cost effective activity, testing everything in the email newsletter is one of the best paying activities for any marketer.
Many of the tests, especially those for the onsite elements of the marketing effort, can serve double duty for buyers created by the website itself. In fact, marketing items like shopping carts and sales landing pages should be tested on an ongoing basis.
The abandonment rate of shopping carts is very high on many sites. It’s vital to a business to lower that non-completion rate as much as possible. Thorough testing of the cart is one valuable tool available to the website owner.
By testing every part of your email newsletter, from opening to the completed sale, your newsletter can be an even more important revenue producer.
