What Personalized E-mails Can Do for your Business and E-mail Campaign?
Customers will be more apt to accept your e-mails if you personalize them and make the prospect feel as if you are talking only to them. When you treat your lead as if they are the most important person in your e-mail campaign, and you treat them with respect by asking first whether they want to join your list. Then send information that is relevant to your prospect and their needs you will receive a high return on your investment.
When you are taking time to personalize your e-mails, take extra care that your spelling and grammar are correct. If you send an e-mail to a prospect that is filled with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, and is difficult to read this will sink your business faster than you can blink (or click). Your prospects will delete your e-mail on sight and never want to hear from you again. There really is no reason for this to happen with Word documents and spell checkers all over the place. Take a little extra time and read the mail you are going to send out for clarity and errors. Remember that a first impression is very important whether that first impression comes in person, over the phone, or through the Internet and if you blow your first impression, you will not get a second.
An advantage to sending out personalized e-mail is that it will separate you from the spammers. You are likely to have a higher response to a personalized e-mail campaign than to one where you send out hundreds of e-mails to unknown recipients of e-mail addresses. Consumers usually delete e-mail that looks as if it has been mass-marketed.

To look at another aspect of personalizing your e-mail campaign consider how many e-mails that you receive from your friends and family that have your first name in the subject line? Normally if you receive an e-mail that has your name in the subject line, you are automatically alerted to the fact that this e-mail is a marketing message. The final note of personalization is in the closing. How many of your friends and family close a letter to you using your formal name, which is what the e-mail personalization tactics use?
It is true that personalized e-mails and correspondence receive a higher response rate but be careful how you use this personalization. You do not want to announce with neon lights that you are sending a marketing message. You do want your prospects to feel comfortable and confident in your abilities as a businessperson.
