Good email campaigns aren’t necessarily about high volume, but the ability to engage and convert. This is why the quality content of your content is important. Use great images (there are lots of free sources for quality royalty-free images out there) and write catchy copy.
Good writing starts with your email subject line and continues right through to your email’s call to action (CTA) and footer. You can write the copy for your next promotional email yourself, or hire someone to write it for you. Either way, don’t forget to proof your writing so you don't end up sending an embarrassing typo to your entire email list!
Tools like Grammarly or in-build spell-checkers that automatically flag questionable spelling and grammar can be extremely useful. However, don’t blindly accept all suggested changes. Even the most sophisticated automated editor can’t understand all the nuances of the English language.
Spell-checking tools are a great starting point, but reading the copy out loud is an excellent way to pick up mistakes and check the overall flow of the writing. It’s also worth getting someone else to read your copy to you, or using a text-to-speech tool if you’re flying solo. Don’t forget to read the captions, the subject line, and the header and footer to make sure they’re all correct and consistent with the rest of the copy.
