Key Takeaways:

  1. What is a Campaign?

    • Defined as an organized course of action to achieve a goal.
    • In email marketing, campaigns are tailored to meet specific objectives.

    • Types of Email Campaigns for Travel Professionals:

      • Welcome sequences: Set the tone and expectations for new subscribers.
      • Newsletters: Keep your audience informed and engaged.
      • Promotional emails: Drive specific sales goals (used sparingly).
      • Survey emails: Gather feedback to refine your offerings.

      • Starting with Goals:

        • Determine what you want each email to achieve (e.g., clicks, replies, or bookings).
        • Align your goals with the type of campaign to create a cohesive strategy.

        • Selling Without the Hard Sell:

          • Avoid overly promotional tactics that can alienate your audience.
          • Use engaging strategies like linking to blog posts or polls to build interest and trust.
          • For example, a blog post about deluxe Disney resorts or a poll asking which features they’d like to learn more about can subtly guide potential clients toward bookings.

            • Actionable Tips:

            • Define your goals before creating any email campaign.
            • Use promotional emails sparingly and focus on building trust through value-driven content.
            • Plan to leverage lead magnets and blog content in your email marketing strategy.
