As of now, we are seeing that many organizations are being influenced by regulations that are intended to slow the spread of the COVID-19 to safeguard the lives of the individuals. Along with this, the companies which are affected are trying to inform all the changes, abandonments, withdrawals, maintain the pace during the crisis adaptations to the needs of the consumer behavior and for afterward as well, to ensure their customer’s safety and retention of course. This opened a door for the Email Marketing, you might have noticed this during this epidemic in your mailbox as well.
In this situation of crisis, why should you invest your time in Email Marketing?
Looking at the scenario, obviously, we cannot show our presence by attending or organizing events, posting on social media about ourselves, this is the right time to switch to emails to show your value
Send emails to your clients and keep them updated about what is affecting you or may affect your service, there can be delays, cancellations or anything that you feel like is important should be conveyed to your customers to restrict any confusion.
By keeping them in the loop, by addressing their queries, by asking their opinions you should make negligible differences in your service as compared to normal days.
Sending emails containing updates about COVID19, will one or the other way make them understand that you are there with them in any situation.
Send a line or two about what and how the crisis has impacted you and your business or can share any major information regarding the same.
From all the advertising channels accessible to you, email is the one in particular that gives you direct access to your clients. That is on the grounds that an individual’s inbox is what might be compared to their home – getting to is just conceded to individuals they trust.
See what is required at this moment to send to your customer for making their days easy.
A reason you have to put email on the cutting edges of correspondence in the midst of an emergency is that individuals will in general trust email more than they trust other channels. Let’s be honest, internet-based life has so much data it’s hard to isolate what’s correct and whatnot.
See what customers require these days from your services, go and ask them if they wanted to go with that service, provide discounts, offers, to make them understand that you stand by them, see what field you are in as we can see in Pharmacy, Food, and beverages, eCommerce marketplaces or Digital Marketing sector are trying to serve their market as much they can and maybe that can be productive for your clients.
As said earlier, it’s necessary to communicate, communication is the only way one can go through any such crisis, support your client in whatever way required, think how you can help them and start doing what makes them relief.
When this question comes in your mind, there should be one more question that follows it and must stick in your mind…and i.e., What will be the best practices of sending email in this pandemic situation! Well, I have answered this as well in this article, best practices and what changes are required in this.
Well, looking at the stats we can see how things are going on in different industries, as brands are emailing these days, customers are opening and associating to these messages at higher rates than previously — an update that connections are significant even in circumstances such as these. Also If we see Email Marketing volume in most industries (aside from Travel & Hospitality) remains high.
At this moment your clients are being shelled with emails about COVID-19—from their nearby grocery store, jewelry store, specialist, café and from where not, the rundown goes on. And this is what I wanted to talk about, your customers are getting irritated with all the stuff, you can even check your inboxes these days, it must be full of messages.
So, what should we do now, don’t send emails to them?
No, the answer is THINK WISE from your end, in this time of crisis send emails by making a checklist, include below points in it.
If you find these are checked, you are good to go.
To start with, seeing these COVID-19 messages pop up in your inbox doesn’t imply that you should send your own. You don’t have anything significant to share, yet every other person is doing it, that’s why you think you should do it.
Try not to go with the confusion that you need to send messages, remember you don’t need to showcase below things while you go for Email Marketing:
Don’t get indulged in this way of mailing, this will eventually affect your brand name.
To Carry on with a healthy business relationship, after knowing why, when you should send emails, you must know how your email should look like, keeping the points in line, below are the points you should keep in mind.
We suggest giving clear, brief headlines. In special messages, putting a fascinating twist can be a compelling method to allure clients to open your messages, but for the COVID-19 email, keep to straightforward headline. If your receiver uses or visits your business, they will probably need to realize more and open an email.
Numerous COVID-19 messages highlight a lot of pointless words and specialized language. Be that as it may, your clients are most likely occupied and would prefer concise and normal English, don’t use jargon.
Consider your client first, and your business second, to figure out what data you can give that they’ll be glad to get. It could be any tips, any important information or regarding your services that customers must be aware of.
It must not be very much confusing or very much descriptive that one isn’t able to get what message you want to convey, keep it like, what’s important should be highlighted so that one gets to know, it’s important.
If you are already sending newsletters, first see what newsletter consists of, and if it fulfills the above-mentioned criteria then only send, and add a line or two regarding COVID-19.
Just sending emails and getting back to your schedule isn’t going to be worthy, you should ask your clients what they feel, they want to continue with you or need a pause, or their point of view of dealing, how they want to be treated at this moment.
Also, put yourself in the shoes of your customers, clients, and think according to them, maybe you will get to know what next would be needed.
Think, Analyse, and then create content that needs to be sent, as I said earlier, empathy is most important in this scenario to frame the content as per the demand of customers.
We can see the example below:
Keep your tone emotional, understanding, and must be optimistic, don’t just go on forcing. With the tone of the email, you can make a big difference
In this time, don’t make your content much of cheesy and diverting, keep it straightforward and focus on what you really want to convey.
As we see, generally to send any information, we just broadcast it, but No, this is not the right time to do so, it’s not necessary everybody wants to receive your email, someone might be facing any critical issues or many reasons are there, so segment properly and then send.
At this moment, we should go with personalization and interact with the recipient rather than just automating the process, this may let you lose their trust in you or may affect the value of your brand.
These are the little Changes You should make in your emails. Proactive client experience endeavors like these won’t refrain all the issues COVID-19 brings, however they can help keep those issues from duplicating.
Well, if we see the stats, trends going on, we get to know that, we must adapt to what situation demands, whether it is any field, technical, sales or marketing, the show must go on, and Email Marketing is what keeps every field in the loop to face the pandemic virtually together, it builds trust, brand value and emotional connection with your customer, partners, even your visitors.
