CREATE A SUCCESSFUL AND COMPLIANT EMAIL STRATEGY

Tips on creating a successful and compliant email strategy by Jenna Tiffany

I fully believe that GDPR is a massive opportunity for marketers, and it shouldn't be seen as a negative impact.

I've seen some organizations, they've lost more than 50% of their email marketing database because they couldn't prove consent.

Email is a top-performing digital channel, it generally doesn't get the right attribution, so it probably outperforms way more than we actually realize.

Think about putting yourself in the shoes of the customers. What are the key questions and information that you would want to know before you hand your information over?

Tell your customers how you use data. Why you want to use it. And be really open and transparent about that.

Every channel needs a strategy, and email marketing is no different to that.

There should be a value exchange. The customer's going to buy your product because you solve a need or a want that customer has. And the same with the email.

To develop an email strategy assess both the internal environments and external environments. And then from all of that, you can start to see where opportunities are.
