Today, we’re looking closely at iOS updates. We know with iOS 14 Apple changed a lot about how performance marketers approached Facebook ads, allowing users to opt-out of being tracked. Navigating this was challenging. And now we need to prepare for iOS 15 where email marketing could be greatly affected by allowing people to hide their real email address, as well as tracking impacts. I think trying to understand this update and the path forward is really important - so that’s what we’re going to chat about today.

As an email marketing strategist, my main goal is to help my customers achieve growth. And true growth comes from a) understanding and leveraging your data and b) building great relationships with your customers. PERIOD. Email is less about trying to get the promotional buyer on that one key moment of each year and more about sustainable growth - building loyalty and creating a referral loop that is an endless engine of new customers. That's why Amazon can be a real problem in achieving sustainable growth.

After seeing some chatter about this very topic, I felt compelled to join in. As I find myself more and more working to help these eComm companies take back some control from Amazon.

There are a lot of "mistakes" that we can make when approaching email. These are not necessarily technical "we need more graphic-to-live text-balance" kind of mistakes but mistakes that need a total mindset shift. After conducting a short listening tour, I have compiled some of the top themes that I am hearing, as well as the how (and why) you may want to adjust those approaches yesterday. Reflect on this one - and let me know if you have any questions along the way. Send them to [email protected].

I spent last week speaking at a few email conferences sharing our Gen Z research and some tips needed to crack this code. It is really important that we are constantly looking ahead - and this generation is only getting harder to reach. And one side note - while this research pertains to Gen Z, hopefully you will take some good nuggets away for your overall email best practices.

Oh list churn (a.k.a the silent campaign killer)...

One thing we never remember to watch closely is list churn, the percentage of subscribers we are losing from our email list. This can happen when recipients unsubscribe, mark your emails as spam, bounce, or simply just got radio silent. In this episode, I cover the types of list churn and ways to triage them but more importantly, ways to keep an eye on your list churn percentage.

As mentioned in the episode:

1. How to calculate list churn: Churn Rate = (Subscribers at Beginning of Period – Subscribers at End of Period)/Subscribers at Beginning of Period

2. Resource: Email Marketing List Churn: The Silent Campaign Killer - https://60secondmarketer.com/2017/11/17/list-churn-silent-campaign-killer/
