u to make your headlines stronger, I want you to make them more specific (rather than broad and generic), spell out a benefit and/or arouse curiosity (not sensationalism). What I am really saying is that getting your headline right is critical if you want people to consume your content.</p>\n<p>Nothing wrong with that, right?</p>\n<p>Here are some examples of headlines that promise a straight benefit:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 business lessons I learned this year – Neil Patel</li>\n<li>5 quick things you can do to fix your marketing this week – Sonia Simone</li>\n<li>Launch a self hosted WordPress blog in 20 minutes – Michael Hyatt</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Here are some examples of headlines that are so irresistible (for the right audience, I may add) that people will be itching to click and read the whole article:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Truth Time: I Haven’t Been Fully Practicing What I Teach – Jenny Shih</li>\n<li>3 amazing things happening in my biz &amp; life right now! – Sarah Hart</li>\n</ul>\n<p>And here are two that do both.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 Mistakes I Made Publishing My eBook, and How You Can Do it Better – Carol Tice</li>\n<li>Want to steal my Facebook ad strategy? –Kimra Luna</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This is the power of writing a great headline.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21284\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/writing-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"writing\" width=\"584\" height=\"390\" /></p>\n<h2>#3 Hook them with a solid intro</h2>\n<p>There are certain pieces of content that hook you from the start. They have you at ‘hello’.</p>\n<p>As soon as you read the first line, you can’t stop yourself from reading the next one, and the next, and so on. Pretty soon, you find yourself reaching the end of the article and you didn’t even plan on reading it at that instant.</p>\n<p>You can have the same effect on your readers. The trick is to work on your intro.</p>\n<p>The headline will ensure that the person at the other end clicks on your article. However, the introduction will force them to continue reading. Many blog posts fail to get traction because they lose people right at the start.</p>\n<p>You don’t want to do that. Here are some tips for you to create an irresistible introduction:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask a question.</li>\n<li>Make a bold claim.</li>\n<li>Share a startling statistic.</li>\n<li>Use a pattern interrupt (Grab their attention by saying something totally unexpected).</li>\n<li>Start telling them a story (Make sure the first sentence is very compelling).</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>#4 Make it conversational</h2>\n<p>Nobody wants to read content that feels like as if a robot churned it out. And there is plenty of content like that floating on the interwebs for sure. The easiest way to let people know that this content was written by an actual, living, breathing human is to make it conversational.</p>\n<p>Write as you speak – only better. What do I mean by that? Write your post as if you are having a chat with a dear friend, and then edit for clarity. Here are some tips to help you do just that:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use short sentences.</li>\n<li>Use contractions. Instead of saying ‘I am’, say ‘I’m’, or replace ‘I would’ with ‘I’d’.</li>\n<li>Use exclamatory sentences like ‘Holy cow’ ‘Say what?’</li>\n<li>It’s okay to use fragments within your writing.</li>\n<li>It is also okay to start a sentence with a conjunction like ‘and’ or ‘but’.</li>\n<li>Don’t use passive voice. Instead of saying ‘it’s been decided’, say ‘I decided that ..’, or ‘Your comment is much appreciated’, ‘I appreciate your comment’.</li>\n<li>Avoid using jargon and industry-speak.</li>\n<li>Avoid appearing too formal. It makes your writing boring.</li>\n<li>Ask questions to make your writing feel like a dialogue instead of a monologue.</li>\n<li>Inject your personality.</li>\n<li>Use words that are unique to you. Use some slang but don’t go overboard.</li>\n<li>Watch your tone. Do you want to sound warm and approachable or come across like a princess?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>#5 Brevity is your friend</h2>\n<p>Let me ask you a question (please don’t throw something at me) &#8211; are you busy?</p>\n<p>Exactly! I mean, in today’s information oversaturated world, who isn’t?</p>\n<p>We are all starving for time and genuine connection. This is the perfect opportunity for you to stand out. Get to the point quickly. (And yes, I am writing this in a 2000+ blog post, the irony is not lost on me.)</p>\n<p>So let me clarify. I’m not asking you to write 200-word blog posts, or restrict the length of all your social media updates. What I’m saying is to be concise in your writing. Conciseness means getting rid of rambling, repetition, irrelevant information, redundancy, and anything else that takes away from a pleasurable reading experience.</p>\n<p>Here are some tips for you:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a general rule, use short words, sentences and paragraphs.</li>\n<li>Eliminate all run-on sentences.</li>\n<li>Get rid of all unnecessary information.</li>\n<li>Edit ruthlessly. Edit to make your writing even better.</li>\n<li>Cut all words that don’t affect your sentence structure.</li>\n<li>Shorten your stories</li>\n<li>Tighten up your writing.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>#6 Make your reader the focus of the content</h2>\n<p>Do you know the difference between a business blog vs a personal one? Let me tell you in case you don’t.</p>\n<p>Your personal blog is more like an online journal. You write it for your friends, family and colleagues. You muse about matters that are interesting and important to YOU. You are content with a handful of people reading it and leaving an occasional comment. You don’t have any goals to build your list or monetize it.</p>\n<p>Contrast that with your business blog which exists to build K-L-T (Know, like and trust) and grow your email list. It has a different purpose altogether.</p>\n<p>So when you consider publishing anything on your blog, you have to make your readers your main focus. Think about what they want. What are they interested in reading more about? What sort of content appeals to this audience?</p>\n<p>Make your content all about them. Here are some handy tips to do this:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Address your reader in the post. Pretend you are sitting across them having a friendly conversation and keep that picture in mind.</li>\n<li>Use ‘you’ and ‘your’ instead of ‘me or ‘I”.</li>\n<li>Mirror their responses.</li>\n<li>Use the kind of language they use.</li>\n<li>Build your content around questions they ask and topics they request.</li>\n<li>Ask them questions.</li>\n<li>Ask them for feedback.</li>\n<li>Ask them for comments. Make them a part of this conversation</li>\n</ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21285\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/writing_content-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"writing_content\" width=\"584\" height=\"390\" /></p>\n<h2>#7 Use proven content types</h2>\n<p>To make it really easy for yourself, see what is already working. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.</p>\n<p>Go out and explore some blogs in your industry. See what is getting popular. Pay attention to the content type. Is the piece long-form or short? Is it image heavy or does it contain some form of audio?</p>\n<p>What about the topic. Is it straight how-to content? Are they using video to do a tutorial? Are they interviewing influencers? Are they just curating what is out there already?</p>\n<p>Here are some content ideas that are proven to work:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do an epic list post.</li>\n<li>Do a really short, punchy piece.</li>\n<li>Do an interview post where you reach out to influencers in your industry, ask them a question or two and compile the results.</li>\n<li>Write about something that is not working in your industry right now.</li>\n<li>Do a video tutorial.</li>\n<li>Create an infographic.</li>\n<li>Create a meme around your brand.</li>\n<li>Tell a story about yourself.</li>\n<li>Teach your readers to do something super fast.</li>\n<li>Write a post about the lessons you have learned in the past 5 or 10 years</li>\n<li>Publish a rant.</li>\n<li>Publish an image-heavy post.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>#8 Make it look good</h2>\n<p>You have done a fantastic job nailing your headline and so you succeed in getting people to click through. You have also worked hard to create an irresistible opening that is sure to hook people and grab their attention.</p>\n<p>However, you still find that there isn’t any evidence that your content is having impact. For example, you aren’t receiving any comments, social media shares or any feedback at all. The problem might be that nobody is actually reading the post till the end. And this isn’t because the post is not well-written and relevant, the issue could be formatting.</p>\n<p>You have to adapt your writing for the world wide web. What works in print doesn’t necessarily works online. Here are some tips:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a font that is easy to read.</li>\n<li>Use images to entice your reader.</li>\n<li>Use sub-headings to highlight the important points for those who like to scan.</li>\n<li>Use bullets, numbered lists and italics to make some text stand out.</li>\n<li>Break up long paragraphs into shorter ones (it is okay to use a one-sentence paragraph).</li>\n<li>Use lots of white space to make it easy on the eye.</li>\n<li>Make sure the text doesn’t stretch across the screen. Don’t make it too wide.</li>\n<li>Optimize for mobile and make it easy to read on a tiny screen.</li>\n<li>Make your links attractive and useful by hyperlinking words that explain what you are linking to.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Remember, if you focus on your reader, put out content that they find highly useful, and make it accessible (share on social media, make it easy to consume online), then there is no reason why your content won’t see any traction.</p>\n<p>However, do keep this in mind &#8211; if you are going to play the content game, it is going to be for the long haul.</p>\n<p>Content marketing is not a sprint, it is a marathon, so if you want a great ROI (return on investment) on your time and effort, you gotta stay consistent. Don’t give up too soon and you will see it pay off. Good luck! <strong>And share in the comments below how you tackle content marketing problems.</strong></p>\n\n<div class=\"wp_rp_wrap  wp_rp_plain\" ><div class=\"wp_rp_content\"><h3 class=\"related_post_title\">Related posts</h3><ul class=\"related_post wp_rp\"><li data-position=\"0\" data-poid=\"in-679\" data-post-type=\"none\" ><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/new-twitter-share-option-in-getresponse.html\" class=\"wp_rp_title\">New Twitter Share Option in GetResponse </a></li><li data-position=\"1\" data-poid=\"in-21258\" data-post-type=\"none\" ><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/best-50-blogging-tools-for-getting-into-top-2015-blogs.html\" class=\"wp_rp_title\">Best 50 Blogging Tools for Getting into Top 2015 Blogs</a></li><li data-position=\"2\" data-poid=\"in-19845\" data-post-type=\"none\" ><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/40-ways-to-make-your-blog-posts-go-viral.html\" class=\"wp_rp_title\">40 Ways to Make Your Blog Posts Go Viral</a></li></ul></div></div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/8-tips-on-writing-content-that-people-want-to-read-right-now.html\">8 Tips On Writing Content That People Want to Read Right Now</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com\">GetResponse Blog - Email Marketing Tips</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:98:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/8-tips-on-writing-content-that-people-want-to-read-right-now.html/feed\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"2\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:52:\"How To Create An Engaging Brand Narrative On Twitter\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:85:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/how-to-create-an-engaging-brand-narrative-on-twitter.html\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:94:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/how-to-create-an-engaging-brand-narrative-on-twitter.html#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:37:45 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9:\"MARKETING\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:36:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/?p=21271\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:665:\"<p>Creative non-fiction is one of the most overlooked and, in my opinion, underrated narrative forms in all of literature.

One of my favourite ever books is a so-called non-fiction novel by Truman Capote – <em>In Cold Blood</em>. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, and many, no doubt, have read it also, for it is one of the finest pieces of creative journalism to have ever been peeled off the printing press.<span id=\"more-21271\"></span></p>\n<p>What makes it so engaging? Well, aside from the fact that it is penned by one of the greatest English language writers the world has ever known, it’s the constant realisation, as you’re reading, that, despite how the book is written, that Capote’s narrative is 100% real, and not actually a fiction at all.</p>\n<p>For me it has the same effect as when those all-enticing words appear on-screen before a movie commences ­– ‘Based on a true story.’ This invariably makes the audience sit up and pay even closer attention. All the drama, conflict and heartache is somehow enhanced by those five magical words. They bring about an added depth of reality to the tale that wouldn’t have been there without them. <em>Sleepers</em>, <em>Schindler’s List</em>, <em>Into the Wild</em>, <em>My Left Foot</em>, <em>A Beautiful Mind</em>, <em>Catch Me If You Can</em>, <em>Goodfellas, Capote </em>– all amazing major motion pictures, but would they <em>really</em> have enjoyed quite the same applause if they weren’t all ‘based upon true stories’?</p>\n<p>It’s a difficult question to answer, to be fair, because these are all <em>great</em> movies. Some Academy Award-winning, in fact. And so there is indeed a very viable argument for the contrary – that is to say that, <em>yes</em>, <em>Goodfellas</em>, <em>Catch Me If You Can</em>, <em>Sleepers</em> – all of them – would have been just as enthralling even if the plots and the story beats had all been plucked right out of thin air. Of course they would. Of course they would. <em>But still</em> – there would have been <em>something</em> missing. Something that it’s quite hard to put your finger on, but nonetheless fundamental to the whole <em>spirit</em> of the creation.</p>\n<p>No, for me, the reason why movie makers feel the need to <em>insist</em> that those five magic words are emblazoned for all to see at the start of the movie, is that they know as well as anyone that true stories engage. And indeed, that’s exactly why I love <em>In Cold Blood</em> so much.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>It’s All About Veracity</h2>\n<p>Yes it is. As I’ve said, veracity is an underrated narrative form when it comes to the written word – albeit less so when it comes to the big screen. Why is this? When we read fiction – and indeed reviews and criticism of fiction – we hail the writer for how <em>believable</em>, how <em>real</em> the story is.  And yet when we are reading non-fiction – newspapers, text books, magazines, blogs – we somehow settle for just being informed, rather than entertained.</p>\n<p>And for me this begs a rather obvious question – why shouldn’t there be a kind of reverse crossover when it comes to our non-fiction output? Rather than being ‘based on a true story’, why shouldn’t our business narratives be ‘based on the traditions of story-telling’? Indeed, I think this is exactly why true-movies and non-fiction novels work so well – they bring the best of both worlds neatly together in one artistic expression.</p>\n<p>Veracity, by definition (unless you intend to lie to your customers, which is absolutely <em>not</em> a very good idea), is already very much a part of your business story – but what it might well lack is a bit of conflict, drama and suspense to keep your following hooked.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>How To Create An Engaging Brand Narrative On Twitter</h2>\n<p>Twitter lends itself particularly well to creating a brand narrative. Those little 140 character posts are just short and punchy enough that you can create intrigue, suspense and sensation very simply and quickly – everything a compelling narrative needs.</p>\n<p>But, you were probably hoping for some slightly more actionable tips than that, so here’s what I suggest.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>1. Prepare In Advance</h3>\n<p>None of the great tales ever simply oozed out of the writer’s pen without any forethought whatsoever (although, to be fair, I believe Jack Kerouac’s <em>On The Road</em> was supposedly crafted along those lines – and some people consider that to be a ‘great tale’, so it’s conceivable that you might, too). So, don’t begin a storytelling campaign on Twitter without mapping out exactly how you conceive each ‘chapter’ to flow onto the next one. Make a draft plan, and remember some rules of storytelling that you must embed within your campaign:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your story must have a beginning, a middle, and an end </strong>(There’s no point just jumping right into the middle of something without setting up the context of the forthcoming narrative. And, similarly, no matter what happens during the ‘middle’ section, you must resolve it at the end.)</li>\n<li><strong>Give your story an emotional arc </strong>(To plan for this, you need to consider how you want your following to fell at the beginning of you story, and how you want to transform this at the end.)</li>\n<li><strong>Plan your story to be engaging, shareable and interactive where possible </strong>(The whole idea of turning towards storytelling for a marketing boost is to try and reach out a little further than you normally would be able to. Not everyone may be interested in your brand, but, find a good story to tell, and plenty will be interested in your campaign. Encourage engagement and interaction – even if that just means that your following will leave comments that you reply to – and you should hopefully find your campaign gets shared far and wide for its entertainment value, with your brand name attached to it of course.)</li>\n</ul>\n<h3></h3>\n<h3>2. Create Memorable, Lovable, Identifiable Characters</h3>\n<p>Stories are only as engaging as the characters that carry the audience along. But, my top suggestion here is to try and make your product the central character of your Twitter story. In this way you can imbue your product with whatever personality you can possibly conceive. If it’s a cleaning product, then you could turn it into some type of superhero; a superfood nutty product could be carried along quite cutely by some sort of animal like a squirrel; and even if you’re something like a digital research agency, you could most certainly liven up your image by having some sort of detective character in a trench coat and trilby fronting your Twitter campaign. And this in fact brings me on nicely to my next point.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21276\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/images-1024x758.jpg\" alt=\"images\" width=\"584\" height=\"432\" /></p>\n<h3>3. Use Images To Tell Your Story</h3>\n<p>Social media has gone visual. There’s no escaping this fact. And Twitter is no exception. I know from experimentation with my own Twitter account, that tweets with pictures generally get at least twice the engagement as ones that don’t, and often three, four or five times that, to be frank.</p>\n<p>And of course if you’re creating characters, then the best way to bring these to life on social media will be to create images of them. A picture really can say a thousand words, and your visual characters can be endearing at a glance to anyone who stumbles across them online. Indeed, there’s nothing to stop you from including comic-book style speech bubbles in your images, provided, of course, that such a thing is appropriate to your story and overall brand image/message.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you use storytelling to promote your brand on Twitter?

So what exactly is content marketing? <span id=\"more-21225\"></span></p>\n<p>If you were to ask &#8220;what is content marketing for 500&#8221; the first answer that Google will throw at you would be an answer from <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_marketing\" target=\"_blank\">wikipedia</a>:</p>\n<p><em>&#8220;<b>Content marketing</b> is any <b>marketing</b> that involves the creation and sharing of media and publishing <b>content</b> in order to acquire and retain customers.&#8221;</em></p>\n<p>However, content marketing is much more refined than just publishing stuff in order to conquer and acquire. The founding fathers (<a href=\"http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/what-is-content-marketing/\" target=\"_blank\">Content Marketing Institute</a>) of the art of content explained it in greater detail:</p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Basically, content marketing is the art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non-interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyer more intelligent. The essence of this content strategy is the belief that if we, as businesses, deliver consistent, ongoing valuable information to buyers, they ultimately reward us with their business and loyalty.&#8221;</em></p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s about creating guides and informational maps to educate people so much so, that they will want to know more, they will seek out your product, and they will be your loyal customers.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Goals</h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to create, but it&#8217;s much easier to see that created content work if we know exactly who it is for and what it&#8217;s supposed to do. Below is an excerpt from the free guide which you will find at the end of this post:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21238\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Step1_guide.png\" alt=\"Step1_guide\" width=\"584\" height=\"585\" /></p>\n<p>As you can see, the road to establishing a goal for a content piece is very much based on the conversion funnel. Too many marketers write for the sake of writing, adding sales pitches within their text, hoping for more clicks and sing-ups. However, content marketing is meant to educate. When your customers, and potential customers, are educated they are more likely to use your product, share it with others, become brand advocates.</p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, well prepared content is a tool to be used not just by customers but by customer support as well. Mindful content is prepared to answer questions and doubts, it explains and teaches &#8211; <a href=\"http://blog.mention.com/content-marketing-personas/\" target=\"_blank\">customer support</a> is able to first hand share that with your customers whenever they need something hands on to guide them.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, content is mean to get more leads. A surprising fact is that even more than lead generation, marketers are using content as a way to raise their brand awareness. A <a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/CMI/2015-b2b-content-marketing-benchmarks-budgets-and-trends-north-america-by-content-marketing-institute-and-marketingprofs\" target=\"_blank\">study shared</a> by Content Marketing Institute and Marketing Profs that 84% say brand awareness is the most important goal.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Creating and distributing</h2>\n<p>According eMarketer, 63% of decision-makers choose to share relevant content via in-person conversations:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21241\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/eMarketer_Preferred_Methods_for_Sharing_Relevant_Content_with_Their_Peers_According_to_B2B_Technolog..._198728.jpg\" alt=\"eMarketer_Preferred_Methods_for_Sharing_Relevant_Content_with_Their_Peers_According_to_B2B_Technolog..._198728\" width=\"584\" height=\"502\" /></p>\n<p>Content is the perfect way for customer success representatives to show the way and for marketers to spread the word. What&#8217;s astounding is that blog, as a method of sharing, is towards the end of this list, showing just how important it is to:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create relevant content</li>\n<li>Post it via media that can be later on distributed (blog post)</li>\n<li>Share the blog post, text, or ebook via channels that are even more effective like email or social media.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Intertwining your marketing efforts and using differentiated channels serves as a foundation for CMI&#8217;s definition of content marketing,<em> &#8220;regardless of what type of marketing tactics you use, content marketing should be part of your process, not something separate.&#8221;</em></p>\n<p>How do you plan out your strategies? Are you making sure that all channels of marketing are partnering up to create a campaign that distributes on all fronts?</p>\n<h2></h2>\n<h2>From A to Z</h2>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, content marketing is not just &#8211; goals, creating, distributing. Those three steps are a part of a whole process. So, what does it take to be a content marketer?</p>\n<ol>\n<li>You need to know your goals.</li>\n<li>You must be able to edit and write in a manner that customers will resonate with.</li>\n<li>You should be ready to research the deepest corners of the Internet.</li>\n<li>You must be familiar with SEO tactics and influencer marketing.</li>\n<li>You need to understand how social media goes hand-in-hand with your content.</li>\n<li>You should know how to make use of content tools and platforms</li>\n<li>You can create a plan for thought leadership based on the quality of your content.</li>\n<li>You know how to create engaging content through storytelling.</li>\n<li>You understand the importance of loyalty</li>\n<li>You are familiar with analytics and what you need to measure to learn from your results.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>As you can see, as a content marketer you have to put on quite a few hats to be able to put all the pieces together. Each step is a result of your previous action, and that is followed another step you need to take. So why is content marketing so important, if it is so hard? Because it informs, it drives traffic to your site, it creates brand awareness, it&#8217;s easily shareable, and it brings numerous SEO benefits (if done correctly.)</p>\n<p>Furthermore, in 2016 we will be creating even more content! Take a look at this chart:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21246\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/eMarketer_Expected_Change_in_Amount_of_Content_Created_in_2016_According_to_B2B_Marketers_in_North_A..._197959.jpg\" alt=\"eMarketer_Expected_Change_in_Amount_of_Content_Created_in_2016_According_to_B2B_Marketers_in_North_A..._197959\" width=\"584\" height=\"496\" /></p>\n<p>2016 will be another victorious year for content. Which is why, if you haven&#8217;t already, you need to get on the content marketing bandwagon! <strong>Download our free ebook &#8220;10 Steps to Understanding Content Marketing&#8221; to learn more.

And that’s why it’s important to pay attention to conversion rate optimization.</p>\n<p><strong>Conversion rate optimization is when you use analytics and customer/user feedback to try and improve your website’s performance (i.e turning a “maybe” into a “yes”).</strong></p>\n<p><b>Why</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> do we want to improve conversion rates?</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There’s always something that can be improved, something that can make the customer’s journey less painful and more streamlined.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPC is getting more costly, and you can effectively spend less by making the most of the visitors who’ve clicked through to your site by optimising it for conversions.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world of ecommerce is ever-expanding &#8211; more and more competition is cropping up, so you need to do everything you possibly can to convert your potential customers and reduce the risk of them looking elsewhere. </span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A business that’s always improving and updating its site looks more legitimate than a site that stagnates.</span></li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects are immediate, unlike SEO, which can take months to show results.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We’ve spoken to some experts and shopify sellers to see what they are doing to improve their conversion rates.</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>1. Track where people are looking, and focus on problems your product can solve</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you track where people are looking, you also know what they’re not paying attention to. Try using a tool like </span><a href=\"https://www.crazyegg.com/overview\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CrazyEgg</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see where your visitors are clicking and scrolling. This can help you figure out whether users are bypassing your calls to action. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify store owner,</span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adelaida Diaz-Roa, Ruffit Dog Carriers used this tactic, as well as others:</span><b> “</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We’ve managed to raise our conversion rate from 2.03% to 4.66% recently. Our store is </span><a href=\"http://ruffitusa.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ruffitusa.com</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (on Shopify) and while there have been many techniques we’ve used, I’d say the biggest ones are using apps like SumoMe to track where people are clicking and what they’re looking at, also setting up cart recovery emails, and putting pictures of customers on our front page as well as product reviews on the product page. Another great thing has been changing our content to focus more on showing the problems our carriers can solve and how instead than on the product itself.”</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>2. “Find, fix, and follow up”</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you’ve figured out where you’ve gone wrong, you need to fix the issue, then test your new tactics, and analyse the results. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify store owner Robert Eisenstein, President of </span><a href=\"http://www.cardboardandcoins.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CardboardandCoins.com</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a site specializing in Baseball Cards and U.S. Coins, suggests a 3 step process for improving conversion rates:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Basically, we went through a 3-step, process, which was Find, Fix, and Follow-up.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“To find out how best to use our existing visitors to increase sales without paying for more traffic, we used Google Analytics to check for pages where our bounce rate was over 20%. For those pages, we ran heat-maps to track user&#8217;s eye movement on those pages, and as a fix, we first ran A/A tests and ultimately, we addressed colors and readability of the content.” </span></p>\n<p>“As a follow up, we watched our bounce rates drop in Google Analytics and we learned never to become complacent or sink more funds into attracting more visitors into a poorly-converting funnel.”</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>3. Segmented Retargeting</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retargeting is when you try and reach those who have previously visited your website and then left for whatever reason based on their previous actions. This can be through display ads, social media, email and so on. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Smethie, a Digital Marketing Consultant tells us: </span><b>“</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retargeting is the best way to improve conversions without acquiring more unique visitors. With retail, the concept is pretty simple, but implementation can be time consuming depending on how many products you sell.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brings us back to shopping cart abandonment emails, which was mentioned earlier. Simply setting up an automated email that offers users who have filled a shopping cart then abandoned it a discount voucher could help bring back that customer who has already reached your site then left. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“The easiest win with the highest ROI is to retarget visitors who added a product or products to their shopping cart but didn&#8217;t check out for whatever reason. Then serve this segment of prospects ads that entice them to complete the transaction, by offering a discount code for example. To make sure customers that purchased a given product at full price don&#8217;t see these ads offering a discount, be sure to create a buyers retargeting list for each product and subtract that list from your shopping cart abandon list.”</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be significantly cheaper than spending cash on a new campaign to try and bring new clicks. </span></p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21230\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/conversion_rate-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"conversion_rate\" width=\"584\" height=\"390\" /></p>\n<h2>4. Increase PR efforts</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify sellers Sanjay and Shashi Aggarwal, who own </span><a href=\"http://www.spicekitchenuk.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spice Kitchen</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which focusses on selling high-quality Indian spices say that the key to improving conversion rates is through upping their PR game and reaching out to journalists and bloggers who focus on their niche, as well as making their store more responsive: </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We have done a number of things to improve conversions over the last 3 years since starting. Firstly we have ensured we have a really clean design and we invested in a great Shopify theme that fit our brand. We have added regular blogs and recipes and in conjunction with being very active on Social Media we have increased traffic of people visiting our site.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“For the past 18 months I have been actively involved with raising our profile in the UK market by connecting with food bloggers, engaging with journalists within food / small business in order to get our story out there. This has resulted in regular features in regional and national press online and in print.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We have also started doing more face to face events in the UK and we try to ensure that every person we engage takes a flyer or business card and therefore has the opportunity to visit our online store. This has again worked well for us.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We have a few good apps that we have used on Shopify. Pure Chat is an excellent tool for allowing our store visitors to talk to us. This is free for upto 30 chats per month. We use ShopPad, which converts our store to a more responsive layout when people view on mobile or ipad. We use Google Adwords to analyse where our traffic is from and this affects how we change our marketing.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Like making any business successful it takes commitment and relentless hard work. The PR work has been a daily search for opportunities and it has worked extremely well. This has come from 18 months of hard work, there are simply no quick wins.”</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“We have also ensured fundamentally that our products are excellent and every customer has been happy with them and the service they have received. Any issues or problems are sorted immediately.”</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>5. Use external tools</h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aaron Dicks </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing Director </span><b>impression.co.uk, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a digital marketing agency suggests using external tools, particularly Visual Website Optimiser and Google analytics Experiments, as well as getting an external trust mark for your store to help your customers recognize your site’s legitimacy:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“The best way we’ve found to properly test for conversion optimisation is with an external tool. Typically, at Impression, we use Visual Website Optimiser (vwo.com) due to the range of possible experiments you can run simultaneously. However, Google Analytics Experiments would be suitable for any Shopify retailer just getting started with CRO.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“As CRO is concerned with upwards pressure on a website’s conversion rate, on ecommerce stores typically the more straightforward tests are those surrounding allowing users to easily add products to their baskets, or to check out more easily. However, CRO, when paired with an equally important school of thought called User Experience (UX) testing would lead true ecommerce digital marketing managers to rethink how their website is structured, how products are categorised and filtered, and the weight of importance of each piece of content on the product page.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“This means that all of the following pages aspects are ‘fair game’ for CRO testing, and so long as you keep good logs of changes, many of these do not require external tools to manage:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Headline (landing page title or product “name”)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Call to action style</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Product images (lifestyle or product shoots, for example)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Descriptions (long vs short)</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“When using external tools like Visual Website Optimiser, you’re much more able to run multivariate tests, or segment down your A/B test audience to ensure you keep disruption to an absolute minimum for your website visitors. The reporting options you have are better also.”  </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“No matter what testing you do, there are some elements to running an online store that nearly always increase conversion rates, and these are also traits of running a good sustainable business. This includes reviews and ratings, trust and authority marks such as secure checkouts, and business/online awards.” </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Google Trusted Stores is a good example of an external trust mark (including extra third party warranty), but as mentioned above, many of the traits of an established online business are required in order to even qualify (minimum order volume, good seller reviews, fair returns policy, etc).”</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are some tried and tested methods of optimising conversion rates that have worked well for sellers on Shopify. A few small tweaks really could make all the difference, so experiment, try something new, and last but not least: test, test, and test some more!</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.</span></p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-21228\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/jodie-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"jodie\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></span></i></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was a guest post by Jodie Pride, content creator at </span></i><a href=\"http://www.veeqo.com/shopify-integration-and-inventory-management\" target=\"_blank\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify inventory management</span></i></a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> software Veeqo.com</span></i></p>\n\n<div class=\"wp_rp_wrap  wp_rp_plain\" ><div class=\"wp_rp_content\"><h3 class=\"related_post_title\">Related posts</h3><ul class=\"related_post wp_rp\"><li data-position=\"0\" data-poid=\"in-13111\" data-post-type=\"none\" ><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/case-scenario-autoresponders-daily-deals.html\" class=\"wp_rp_title\">Case Scenario: Autoresponders for Daily Deals</a></li><li data-position=\"1\" data-poid=\"in-18329\" data-post-type=\"none\" ><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/email-success-profile-wilson-laus-success-manifesto.html\" class=\"wp_rp_title\">Email Success Profile: Wilson Lau’s RicheMinds.com</a></li><li data-position=\"2\" data-poid=\"in-18479\" data-post-type=\"none\" ><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/email-success-profile-ram-shengale-gyantastic.html\" class=\"wp_rp_title\">Email Success Profile: Ram Shengale of Gyantastic</a></li></ul></div></div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/how-conversion-rate-optimization-helps-improve-sales-on-shopify.html\">How Conversion Rate Optimization Helps Improve Sales on Shopify</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com\">GetResponse Blog - Email Marketing Tips</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:101:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/how-conversion-rate-optimization-helps-improve-sales-on-shopify.html/feed\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:13;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"9 Super-Easy Ways to Personalize Your Emails\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/9-super-easy-ways-to-personalize-your-emails.html\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/9-super-easy-ways-to-personalize-your-emails.html#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 04 Nov 2015 15:27:28 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9:\"MARKETING\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:36:\"http://blog.getresponse.com/?p=21180\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:663:\"<p>Personalization is one of the biggest trends of Internet marketing right now.

Whether it’s personalizing websites, or social media content or emails, more and more marketers are trying their hand with this technique.<span id=\"more-21180\"></span></p>\n<p>But that’s not even the most interesting part. The most curious thing about personalization is how more and more consumers report they want more personalized marketing messages. Some of them even expect it.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21182\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/chartofweek-02-17-15-lp.png\" alt=\"chartofweek-02-17-15-lp\" width=\"584\" height=\"629\" /></p>\n<p>How nearly 2,000 email subscribers answered the question, “<em>Q: In which of the following ways, if any, would you like company emails to change? Please select all that apply</em>.” More personalization was the second-most requested change.</p>\n<p>With personalization on the rise, with customers requesting it, and with all the reports of great results from personalization, you’d think almost every email would be using it. So why are so many of us email marketers still stuck in personalization 101. Why are we still thinking of personalization as just using someone’s first name in the subject line? We’re working with one of the most flexible, testable and customizable marketing channels on the planet.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21183\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/PamSubjectLine-1024x97.png\" alt=\"PamSubjectLine\" width=\"584\" height=\"55\" /></p>\n<p>Personalizing a subject line like this is a good start, but there’s way more you can do.</p>\n<p>Part of the reason we’re hanging back may be because we know adding a first name to a subject line now and again is likely to lift open rates. It’s also fairly easy to add that first name. And it’s data most of us <a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/pros-cons-including-name-field-opt-forms.html\" target=\"_blank\">have</a>. Why <em>not</em> did it?</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21184\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-21184 size-large\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/InsertFNAMEGetResponse-1024x569.png\" alt=\"InsertFNAMEGetResponse\" width=\"584\" height=\"325\" /><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Personalizing the subject line of your emails is really easy. It takes just a few clicks in GetResponse.</p></div>\n<p>Well, because in some cases, personalizing the subject line can actually hurt results. That’s what we found when we <a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/do-personalized-subject-lines-improve-campaign-results-check-out-these-stats-now.html\" target=\"_blank\">analyzed over <strong>53,000 unique messages</strong></a> sent from GetResponse accounts between September and December 2009.</p>\n<p>Here are the details of that study:</p>\n<p><em>“<strong>emails with personalized subjects </strong>averaged <strong>26% higher open rates</strong> and over <strong>130% higher CTRs</strong> than <strong>emails without personalized subject lines. </strong>Pretty impressive at first glance!</em></p>\n<p><em>Unfortunately, the same stats clearly show that <strong>email with personalized subject lines</strong> averaged <strong>26% higher complaints </strong>and over <strong>71% higher unsubscribe rates</strong> than <strong>emails without personalization.</strong> This time it doesn’t look as impressive. </em></p>\n<p>So what’s a marketer to do? Not personalize at all?</p>\n<p>No. You should definitely keep personalizing. But it’s time to try something more creative than the first name in the subject line. There are all sorts of personalization tricks you can apply to your emails. The ones I’ve picked for this blog post don’t even require any fancy information merges. You don’t need peoples’ past order histories or download records do to anything I’ll describe here.</p>\n<p>Just by “borrowing” a few ideas from some cool emails I’ve come across, I think we can get you thinking outside the subject line. Actually, I bet you’ll be able to think of a couple more personalization tactics by the time you’ve read this post through. But these nine ideas are enough to get us started.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>1) Personalize the salutation.</h2>\n<p>This is actually the #1 place I’m seeing first names used. It’s just as simple to insert a first name into the salutation as it is to insert it into the subject line.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21185\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Salutation-1024x706.png\" alt=\"Salutation\" width=\"584\" height=\"403\" /></p>\n<p>Notice how this first name begins with a lowercase letter. You might want to clean up the data from your forms a bit and capitalize each first name before you send a mailing out.</p>\n<p>Also note how this email doesn’t personalize the subject line, but does personalize the salutation. That was one of the recommendations from that GetResponse study I mentioned above. The testers believed that the personalized subject line raised expectations too high, then broke them when people opened the email. Only personalizing the salutation gets around that problem.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>2) Personalize an image in your email.</h2>\n<p>Incorporating someone’s name into an image is a new way to grab subscribers’ attention. It works because we’re drawn to images (sorry about the pun), and so we’re more likely to see our name if it’s in an image.</p>\n<p>This is a fairly new trick, so it may be working simply because subscribers aren’t used to it yet. Sometimes just adding something beyond the typical hum-drum email gets attention.</p>\n<p>Here’s an example courtesy of <a href=\"https://niftyimages.com/\" target=\"_blank\">NiftyImages.com</a>.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21186\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/ImagePersonalized-723x1024.jpg\" alt=\"ImagePersonalized\" width=\"584\" height=\"827\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>3) Personalize the preheader text.</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/preheader-text-neglected-part-email.html\" target=\"_blank\">Preheader text</a> is known as “the second subject line”. So why not personalize it? Here’s another reason to personalize it: Half of all emails are opened on mobile devices. And the preheader text takes up more space than the subject line on many mobile devices.</p>\n<p>Bonus idea: Personalize the postscript in your email. You know, the “PS:” at the close? Postscripts often get read more than body copy.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>4) Personalize (or segment) according to whatever URL is in your subscribers’ email addresses.</h2>\n<p>Say you’ve got a bunch of people with email addresses that end with “gmail.com”. Send an email to them that’s “just for Gmail users!”</p>\n<p>This is even more effective if you’re in B2B and send emails to a bunch of people in a few select companies. Then you can craft a special offer or discount just for employees at those firms.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>5) Add a personalized video.</h2>\n<p>Services like <a href=\"http://bombbomb.com/\" target=\"_blank\">BombBomb</a> and <a href=\"https://idomoo.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Idomoo</a> can help you create personalized video emails like the one below.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21187\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/BombBombFULL-651x1024.jpg\" alt=\"BombBombFULL\" width=\"584\" height=\"919\" /></p>\n<p>Note that even these services don’t usually embed the video into the email message. Like most other marketers, they create an image that looks like a video for the email. When the subscriber clicks that image, they’re brought to a landing page where the video automatically plays.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>6) Personalize according to how many days it’s been since someone subscribed.</h2>\n<p>I got this cute email on my second “Twitterversary”. It even had an animated gif – the candle sparkled.</p>\n<p>Why not send your subscribers “anniversary” emails? If someone stays with you even long enough to get to a first year anniversary, that’s still pretty good. They deserve a little something.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21188\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Twitterversary-845x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Twitterversary\" width=\"584\" height=\"708\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>7) Personalize by adding their Gravatar profile image to your email.</h2>\n<p>I mentioned earlier that we’re drawn to images. Well, we’re positively magnetized to our own image. Adding someone’s <a href=\"https://en.gravatar.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gravatar</a> photo, like Buffer did here, almost makes it look like you handcrafted the email.</p>\n<p>There are instructions on how to embed a Gravatar image in an email <a href=\"https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/hash/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>. If you don’t do code, they might be scary. But you could always hire a coder to set it up for you.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21189\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/BufferGravatar-1024x842.png\" alt=\"BufferGravatar\" width=\"584\" height=\"480\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>8) Use email retargeting</h2>\n<p>I said think outside the subject line, right? Well, how about thinking outside the email message and even outside the inbox. That’s what retargeting can do.</p>\n<p>Here’s how it works:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21190\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/800p_HowItWorks_RTMail.jpg\" alt=\"800p_HowItWorks_RTMail\" width=\"584\" height=\"219\" /></p>\n<p>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https://retargeter.com/blog/retargeting/retargeting-for-email-marketers\" target=\"_blank\">Retargeter</a>.</p>\n<p>Retargeting is a very popular technique right now. It may be invasive to some subscribers, but there’s no way around it: Retargeting works.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>9) Send messages at just the right time for each individual subscriber with Time Travel or Perfect Timing.</h2>\n<p>This one’s only for GetResponse customers. If you want to want all your emails to arrive at a specific hour, regardless of your subscribers’ time zones, choose the “Time Travel” option when you’re setting up your next email campaign. It’s on the very last setup screen, near the bottom of the page (also shown below).</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21192\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/PerfectTiming-TimeTravel-1024x883.png\" alt=\"PerfectTiming-TimeTravel\" width=\"584\" height=\"504\" /></p>\n<p>Or you can go a different route and let the GetResponse system send your emails based on when each individual subscriber tends to interact with your emails. Obviously you’ll need to have sent a couple of email campaigns to your list before this works well.

You know, for instance, that when you buy a product, especially from the internet, you’re much more likely to trust a recommendation from a friend than you are an advert commissioned by the selling company.<span id=\"more-21161\"></span></p>\n<p>Indeed, you know that when you head onto Amazon or eBay, it’s the customer reviews and ratings that you’re looking at, rather than the actual product description. You want to know how trustworthy this seller is, or how good other readers found that book to be, or if there really was any trouble claiming a refund after 30 days when the service didn’t work out.</p>\n<p>This sort of behaviour stands to reason, of course – as 21<sup>st</sup> Century human beings, we’re used to companies lying to us in order that they might convince us to buy their product. In fact, we’re not even offended any more – and perhaps are even a little bit disappointed when we find that the most expensive fair trade peanut butter on the web really is the smoothest.</p>\n<p>For the fact is that <em>every single jar of peanut butter on the market claims to be the smoothest yet, the crunchiest yet, or peanut-bloomin-butteriest yet</em>. And the simple fact is that they can’t <em>all </em>be – it’s against the laws of physics.</p>\n<p>And of course, as marketers ourselves, we’ve all been guilty of a little hyperbolic overselling from time to time, haven’t we? I know I have, especially in my early days. And when it comes to marketing your very own product, which you’re very much in love with – almost to the point where you might even be blinded to a few of its most glaring flaws – it’s very easy to produce content that paints said product a little, shall we say, <em>generously</em>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Testimonials – Getting To The Truth Of Your Product</h2>\n<p>Officially speaking, a testimonial is a kind of formal statement, for which the author will give his/her approval for its use as part of a company’s marketing literature. Many websites have a ‘Testimonials’ section on the home page. Others have a completely separate page dedicated to testimonials. And still more like to use them a little more sparingly and just bung a few on the end of an email, blog post or what have you. And then there are even some businesses who don’t use testimonials as part of their ongoing campaigns at all!</p>\n<p>Now, I absolutely stand by the exclamation mark at the end of the last sentence – because completely ignoring the unrivalled marketing weapon that is the customer testimonial is like going to war without any ammo (see, I told you I could be prone to the odd hyperbole from time to time).</p>\n<p>Real people trust real people. Real people don’t trust faceless enterprises. It’s as simple as that. And so, without any customer testimonials, all your potential new customers have to go on is everything that <em>you </em>say about <em>your </em>product – and you’re not exactly going to be advertising its pitfalls, are you? No.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Why Customer Testimonials Are The Ultimate Marketing Tools</h2>\n<p>I’ve given the strict sense of testimonials above, but, to be honest, for the purposes of content marketing in 2015/2016, a great review on social media is just as good as an official testimonial. For one thing, a good review will incite more people to leave good reviews, and pretty soon you’ll have lots and lots littered all over your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and all the rest. And this is known to increase conversions.</p>\n<p>Some stats from <a href=\"https://www.brightlocal.com/2014/07/01/local-consumer-review-survey-2014/\">BrightLocal Research</a> &#8211; out of 2,104 respondents to an online survey about consumer usage and attitudes toward online testimonials and reviews:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21163\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/online_review.png\" alt=\"online_review\" width=\"584\" height=\"352\" /></p>\n<ul>\n<li>88% have read reviews to determine the quality of a local business</li>\n<li>39% read reviews on a regular basis</li>\n<li>Only 12% do not read reviews</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21166\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/review_affect.png\" alt=\"review_affect\" width=\"584\" height=\"355\" /></p>\n<ul>\n<li>72% of consumers say that positive reviews make them trust a local business more</li>\n<li>10% of consumers don’t take any notice of online reviews</li>\n</ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21164\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/reviews_trust.png\" alt=\"reviews_trust\" width=\"584\" height=\"356\" /></p>\n<ul>\n<li>88% of consumers say they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations</li>\n<li>Only 13% said they do not trust reviews as much as personal recommendations</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Soliciting Testimonials And Reviews From Social</h2>\n<p>Ok, so I think we can all be pretty clear about the key benefits of having some great testimonials on your website, and a nice fresh stream of favourable reviews on social. But, let’s just bullet-point them here quickly so we can all be absolutely clear what we’re working towards.</p>\n<p><strong>Testimononials and Reviews:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Serve as social proof of your product</li>\n<li>Build trust and credibility</li>\n<li>Showcase your product in all sorts of ways (often consumers will be using your product in ways you hadn’t even thought of)</li>\n<li>Allow your customers to do the hard work and sell your product for you</li>\n<li>Are often candid, and un-salesy</li>\n<li>Surmount skepticism</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So, testimonials are great for all sorts of reasons – but how do you go about getting good ones?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Social Reviews</h2>\n<p>Social reviews, hopefully, will be generated naturally enough across your networks. And, if you get a particularly good one, you can simply drop your follower a line and ask them if you could use what they’ve said as a testimonial on your website. Often you will find that a happy customer will be more than willing to help in this way and become part of the story of your success.</p>\n<p>But, what makes a good review? Well, I’ll tell you what makes a bad one. They go something like this:</p>\n<p><em>“I love this product!! I’m so glad I bought it, and I’ll defo be buying more in the future!!”</em></p>\n<p>Ok, so obviously this is positive, but it doesn’t really prove or explain anything to your visitors. It’s just vague, and even looks a bit spammy, to be honest.</p>\n<p>Far better to have something like this:</p>\n<p>“Wow, I used your toothpaste exactly like you told me, and I haven’t had any pain or bleeding now for 10 weeks. And the flavour of the mint is the freshest I’ve ever tasted in a paste. This stuff is literally life-changing. Recommend 100%.”</p>\n<p>Hyperbolic statements like this are actually beneficial when it’s your real customers who are producing them. So, find these ones amongst your social reviews, and reach out to the authors.</p>\n<p><strong>What are your methods of soliciting customer testimonials? Do you have a questionnaire scheme, maybe?

Basically &#8211; men don&#8217;t shave all of November and raise money! Last year <a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/movember-campaigns-grow-successful-marketing-stache.html\" target=\"_blank\">we wrote about the essence</a> of this month, from the rules all the way to leaderboards.</p>\n<p>This year we want to turn your attention to the various ways that different brands, companies, and individuals engage is this campaign. Besides the fact that it&#8217;s a great cause, it generates enormous feedback and engagement from people. Moreover this year, the Movember Foundation decided to broaden their horizon by turning out attention to another big issue in men&#8217;s health &#8211; lack of movement.</p>\n<p>Broadening the cause gives the campaign more traction.

Now, because Movember is a sort of narcissistic event in its right (I mean, it is about admiring your own fuzzy face caterpillar) guys are not afraid to spam up the #movember tag.

Movember Foundation</h3>\n<p>The great things about the Movember Foundation is that it not only posted catchy content (hey, they even reached out to the ladies!) but that it also created lots of valuable content. Images are great for catching the eye, but they work even better when you have relevant content to go along with it. Sharing inspiring stories makes the Movember Foundation even more likable.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21134\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Movember.png\" alt=\"Movember\" width=\"491\" height=\"701\" /></p>\n<p>And something for the ladies too!</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21135\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Movember_ladies.png\" alt=\"Movember_ladies\" width=\"489\" height=\"597\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>2. Speedo</h3>\n<p>Speedo not only posted pictures, but it also partnered up with MF to create a swimming app. There is also a fun video involved, check it out <a href=\"http://www.speedo.co.uk/news-tips-techniques/swim-mo-save-bro\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>. Not only does Speedo catch peoples attention and raise awareness, it also promotes an app that will get swimmers more involved with their brand.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21136\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Speedo.png\" alt=\"Speedo\" width=\"490\" height=\"587\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>3. Carlsberg</h3>\n<p>This is my personal favorite, not because I like beer but because of the elegant and creative campaign. Carlsberg created <a href=\"http://www.thirstforgreat.com/beerd-beauty/carlsberg-beerd-beauty.html\" target=\"_blank\">beauty products</a> for beards (wait for it) with beer in them! Now, this following video appeared on their Facebook page and it collected over 600 shares as of yet!<br />\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-KjURW5LS0g?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, to keep the momentum going, Carlsberg made sure to create images that not only look appealing but speak to both the gents and the ladies, put together the images collected over 2000 likes and 200 shares. Interestingly enough, the &#8220;sistas&#8221; images had very little engagement compared to &#8220;Shave responsibly.&#8221;</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21140\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/11/Carlsberg-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Carlsberg\" width=\"584\" height=\"292\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Catching the wave</h2>\n<p>Collecting mustaches = Collecting engagement. It&#8217;s a simple formula that the internet seems to follow. You may not have a team of bro&#8217;s with mo&#8217;s in your office. However, you can get excited with the world by showing off pictures of other honorable &#8216;staches!</p>\n<p>Get your customers talking, write a blog post about the greatest mustaches in the biz (Steve Jobs had a mustache at one point!) as a source of inspiration. EveningStandard embraced the Movember craze by compiling <a href=\"http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/movember-2015-the-top-15-moustaches-in-sport-a3103626.html#gallery\" target=\"_blank\">Great Sporting Mustaches</a>.

What a fine and swell idea, a very popular one these days. However, it’s hard to get to the proverbial greener side. Editors get a lot of guest post ideas – their inbox is an endless pit of “3 innovative, never before seen, great ideas for posts.”</p>\n<p><span id=\"more-21104\"></span></p>\n<p>But you’re better than your goat. There is much more to you, an established writer, right? Thought so. Which is why in case you’d like to help Murray, Finn, or whatever your goat’s name is &#8211; here’s how you should prepare him for the guest writing journey:</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>1. Who is Murray trying to reach?</h2>\n<p>The number one mistake potential guest writers make is not knowing the company they’re trying to reach. I don’t mean that you need to know the name, address, and favorite coffee order of the entire content team, but it just does not look ok if you can’t even remember how to spell the name of the blog.</p>\n<p>GetResponse is not necessarily the hardest name to spell, but we’ve had a chuckle or two over some misspellings (or blatant changes in our name) like:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get Response</li>\n<li>GetReponse</li>\n<li>Got Response</li>\n<li>Get the Response (my personal favorite)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Although accidents happen and everyone can understand that Murray might eat one letter and write to GetReponse, he might be taken less seriously with Got Response.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-21112\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/7774.gif\" alt=\"7774\" width=\"250\" height=\"215\" />Since it is Murray that showed interest, it would put him on top of the “awesome goats” list if he read up on the blog and/or business he’s trying to read. Furthermore – it doesn’t hurt to proofread the email! Autocorrect or caffeinated fingers tend to cook up more than a fair share of crazy words. If it makes Murray feel better – I’m one of those people who’s computer turns “Hey Chris” into “Hey Christ”, so proofreading is almost necessary.</p>\n<p>It’s the little things that count. I guess misspelling GetResponse or writing my name wrong will make him more memorable – but is this the way to go about it? I’d say no. Charm people with your knowledge, presence, and great ideas!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>2. Does Murray know the blog’s audience?</h2>\n<p>It’s one thing to let Murray eat a letter or two, but it’s another to let him email editors without knowing their brand. Don’t let the goat email, tweet at, or stalk different blogs just because they have lots of shares and readers. It’s great to be visible everyone, but it’s better to be “famous” on blogs that share your expertise.</p>\n<p>Craft titles that won’t just fill the void. Empty topics are quickly recognized and no blog will take Murray seriously. We want to help writers share their knowledge and their insights in a field that we see them excel in!</p>\n<p>Train Murray to be an expert in one field or industry. Help him become the voice of reason that will be able to bring in valuable information to a specific targeted group. Read a few posts, see what the tone of voice is like, make sure that your goat understands how the posts are crafted and at what audience. A social media marketer won’t be as interested in new WordPress plugins as a content marketer might be.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>3. Can Murray follow guidelines?</h2>\n<p>Once you get him past the gatekeepers of the content calendar, make sure that Murray reads the guidelines. What does the editing team ask for? Are there any guideline points that are not clear? Reach out and ask for more info – editors don’t bite!</p>\n<p>Too often, writers send back texts that have numerous mistakes that could have been spared if they just read the guidelines. Missing an Oxford comma here or there will fly, but quoting competition or adding linking to a personal website every other sentence? Not so much.</p>\n<p>As you will see with every step in this post – get Murray to reach out to the editor! We love goats, we are more than happy to help. Keep in mind that sometimes we take a day or two to email you back, but know that your email is certainly flagged in our email accounts and we remember about you <img src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>4. Is Murray able to keep up with the due dates?</h2>\n<p>Hey, we’re all busy people, right? So make sure that Murray doesn’t keep the editor waiting, due dates are there for a reason. Keep tabs on the progress or dates but using tools like Trello, Wunderlist, CoSchedule, or Todoist.</p>\n<p>And as with every post – it’s always better to let the editor know that something came up, than to leave them hanging and emailing you every hour. A simple “I had an emergency, I’m sorry I can’t make the deadline, I will be in touch when I can get a hold of my computer.  – Sent from my iPhone” will do.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>5. Will Murray be part of the conversation?</h2>\n<p>Not every blog will ask of Murray to share the post via his social media, or even to take part in conversation that might arise under his text. However, that being said, it’s always nice to see Murray share his work.</p>\n<p>What’s more, get Murray to talk! It’s always nice for the reader to see a response from the author himself. As an author he might offer more insights and quick tips than the editor ever could on his own. We love seeing people interact, even with us!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>May the guidelines be with your goat</h2>\n<p>Hey, work is always easier when you have a map to follow. The geography of guest blogging is fairly simple if you have the right guide(lines). Never be afraid to ask the editor for advice. Sometimes you may not understand the rules – we get that, so we’re here to help. Better yet, you might have a very outside of the box idea about goats and blogging that might not be on the list of topics!</p>\n<p>Editors are people with giant content hearts, funny bones, and minds that can foresee the future. We will know if your idea has potential, even if it does sound crazy. Once in a while the crazy ideas are the best ones, let us help you change the face of the Internet with them!</p>\n<p><strong>So, write like a human (or a goat?), for a human, and cross to the writing side of the force.

In this post you&#8217;ll find both &#8211; the slide deck and a recording of the meeting &#8211; so that you too can start achieving email marketing excellence today!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways</h2>\n<h3>Why you should optimize email campaigns</h3>\n<p>Organic, CPC (SEM), and Email continue to be the online marketing channels driving most e-commerce purchases. In fact, email itself, generates an ROI of 3800% according to DMA National Client Email Report from 2015. It&#8217;s also been rated as one of the most effective digital media channels by respondents of our study.</p>\n<p>However, as we&#8217;ve seen in the course of this study, it&#8217;s just the average ROI we&#8217;re usually hearing about. Having put email marketing capabilities and campaign effectiveness together, we&#8217;ve found that marketers, whose email campaigns are more advanced, in general are more positive about their returns from this channel.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21100\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/1.-Email-marketing-ROI-1024x582.png\" alt=\"1. Email marketing ROI\" width=\"584\" height=\"332\" /></p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s only an opinion, while we really like numbers. So, we&#8217;ve decided to find out what&#8217;s really taking place and crunch some data. We analyzed over 130 million email messages our clients sent out. The graph below shows you the outcomes.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21099\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/2.-OTR-and-CTR-by-excellence-1024x523.png\" alt=\"2. OTR and CTR by excellence\" width=\"584\" height=\"298\" />As you can see, initially the results are as predicted &#8211; the more advanced you are, the higher the average OR and CTR of your campaigns. What&#8217;s interesting though is that the Advanced &#8211; and Expert &#8211; level marketers observed lower than the intermediate results.</p>\n<p>Our first impression was that the most sophisticated email marketers operate in the most competitive markets, such as retail, travel, and financial services, where it is harder to get responses. In some sectors, such as retail, testing shows that, across a quarter or year, a higher send frequency produces higher revenue from the email list, but the response from individual emails may be lower.</p>\n<p>We also asked Jordie van Rijn to explain this pattern:</p>\n<p>“Don’t be thrown off by the dip at the higher sophistication end of the spectrum. We are comparing apples-to-oranges here. Often the advanced senders will also have a bigger (but older) databases, or are in high velocity industry like fashion or travel, sending more frequently. All of those have a profound impact on response rates, but still they get more traffic and sales because of their scale”.</p>\n<p>In other words, it pays to optimize. Especially so in the more competitive markets, where average results may be lower than in other sectors.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>The CRITICAL areas of email marketing that boost response</h2>\n<p>Email marketing campaign improvement starts with the analysis of ones&#8217; own practices and comparing them against what competitors are doing, and how the audience reacts to said messages.</p>\n<p>Proposed by Dr Dave Chaffey mnemonic CRITICAL is a great point of reference for the purpose of email campaign analysis. Below you&#8217;ll see all of these elements with short descriptions and questions you should be asking yourself before hitting the &#8220;send&#8221; button in your next campaign.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creative</strong> &#8211; how creative is your creative?</li>\n<li><strong>Relevance</strong> &#8211; does your message carry value for each individual user?</li>\n<li><strong>Incentive</strong> &#8211; what reason to act does the user have?</li>\n<li><strong>Targeting or Timing </strong>&#8211; to whom exactly and at what time are you writing?</li>\n<li><strong>Integration through time</strong> &#8211; are you using all the email marketing options (newsletters, reactivation emails, customer survey messages or multi-step welcome series) in your strategy?</li>\n<li><strong>Conversation</strong> &#8211; are you talking at or with people? Think of social proof.</li>\n<li><strong>Attributes</strong> &#8211; what&#8217;s outside of your email and how it resonates with audience? Subject, From address?</li>\n<li><strong>List management, landing pages, deliverability</strong> &#8211; never skip these critical elements that could make or break your email campaigns. Low deliverability or bad converting website will overpower even the most creative email messages.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Proven techniques towards email marketing sophistication</h2>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve learned to analyze your email marketing campaigns, you should go one step further, and start optimizing them. Here are 5 necessary steps you should take to achieve email marketing excellence:</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>1. Track more</h3>\n<p>Open and Click-thru rates are great, but they won&#8217;t give you the full picture of your campaign status. Forget vanity metrics such as number of likes or page views.</p>\n<p>If you consider also bounces, unsubscribe rates, complaint rates, ROI, CPA or Sales &#8211; you&#8217;ll know whether what you&#8217;ve been doing is delivering the right results. Can you increase the communication frequency? Are people happy with your content? Should you invest more in the promotional campaign? You&#8217;ll know the answers to these questions only if you consider the whole range of metrics.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>2. Manage your lists</h3>\n<p>Growing an email list is hard enough, but it&#8217;s not the only thing you should remember about. Being proactive in building it across multiple channels and following the best practices in terms of list hygiene are also essential. Use double opt-in, manage bounces appropriately and observe how your audience reacts to each of your campaigns.</p>\n<p>If possible, automate the onboarding process with a welcome email series. This way, even if you&#8217;re away or just finished a promotional campaign, your audience will stay in touch with your brand.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>3. Target wisely</h3>\n<p>Knowing who your audience is, is the key. Being aware of what stage of lifecycle they&#8217;re on will help you target them better. Craft your emails according to the different needs and wants of your personas. Align your offer and messages with their expectations, and watch your conversions grow.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>4. Manage deliverability</h3>\n<p>Deliverability is essential to achieving high returns from email marketing campaigns. If your messages don&#8217;t land in the inbox, how can they convert them and sell your product or service? That&#8217;s why you should: evaluate the frequency and format of your messages, test different versions of content, build your email list according to best practices, and talk to your ESP about ways to improve your results.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>5. Optimize your messages</h3>\n<p>Be smart about your emails. Make sure that where possible, you can cross-sell, up-sell or reactivate your audience with relevant content that&#8217;s delivered at the right time. Where applicable, embrace urgency and play of the power of loss aversion &#8211; this will lift your sales up! Most importantly, exceed expectations and be creative.</p>\n<p>Check out the slide-deck of the presentation or <a href=\"http://getresponse.tv/video/uvSF_YJFXc4/achieving-email-marketing-excellence-webinar/\" target=\"_blank\">jump right into the webinar recording itself</a>.

They’ve been around since Internet marketing was born. They’ve probably sold more than a billion dollars worth of stuff.<span id=\"more-21082\"></span></p>\n<p>Compare that to storytelling. It may be one of the newest marketing buzzwords, but it’s actually one of the oldest marketing techniques. Storytelling is so important that some experts have hailed it as the #1 more desirable skill for a marketer to have.</p>\n<p>What if we paired these two things up? What if we used autoresponders as a container for storytelling? It would let us fuse one of the oldest and most effective digital marketing tools with one of the oldest and most effective ways to engage an audience.</p>\n<p>Using autoresponders for storytelling might result in crazy-high sales and engagement rates – the kind of results <a href=\"http://bensettle.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Settle</a>-style emails get. Or you could put them in the hands of <a href=\"http://www.sethgodin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Godin</a> for a far softer sell.</p>\n<p>Or maybe we could put it in your hands, and let you make something new.</p>\n<p>I really don’t know what we could do. But autoresponders seem like such a perfect container for storytelling that I just had to explore them further. Here’s a few things to consider.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Autoresponders are a marketer’s best friend</h2>\n<p>Autoresponders are a lazy (or busy) marketer’s dream. They are a series of email messages that you set up ahead of time. Then you schedule them to go out every few  days. Once an autoresponder is set up, you could leave it alone indefinitely. It could run all your email marketing by itself.</p>\n<p>That feature of autoresponders is why they are the original marketing automation. Often when we talk about marketing automation even now, we’re basically talking about autoresponders.</p>\n<p>But thankfully, autoresponders require none of the expensive technology that so often goes with marketing automation. To create and manage an autoresponder, all you need is an account at an email service provider that lets you send unlimited autoresponder messages.</p>\n<p>Note the “unlimited” part. Some email service providers only let you send about 30 messages for each autoresponder sequence. That’s a good start, but many autoresponders go on for longer than that.</p>\n<p>Autoresponder masters like <a href=\"https://www.perrymarshall.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Perry Marshall</a> have autoresponder sequences that go on <em>for years</em>. We’re talking over 300 messages in these sequences. So just 30 messages isn’t going to cut it. Fortunately, if you’re a GetResponse customer, we’ve got you covered. You can send unlimited email messages in each autoresponder sequence. We won’t hold you back.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>How to plan your autoresponders</h2>\n<p>So once you’ve got the autoresponder capability, so can just start cranking out email  messages, right?</p>\n<p>Not so fast. You could start that way, but it will make things MUCH harder for you later on. Instead, sit down and plan your autoresponder first. Consider whether you want a time-based autoresponder or an action-based autoresponder.</p>\n<p><em>“What’s the difference?”</em></p>\n<p>The classic autoresponder is time-based. So you’d have a series of email messages set to go out in a pre-defined order. You’d schedule them to go out every few days. That’s a time-based autoresponder.</p>\n<p>An action-based autoresponder isn’t triggered by elapsed time. It’s triggered by different actions a subscriber takes. You define those actions, whether it’s downloading a whitepaper or clicking a specific link in an email.</p>\n<p>If you want to send a time-based autoresponder, you can plan it out like a list. But if you want to send an action-based autoresponder, plan it out as a flow chart.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Planning action-based autoresponders</h2>\n<p>Powerpoint is good for making flowcharts. So are oversized pieces of drawing paper, whiteboards, or online flow chart tools like Draw.io.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21084\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/DrawIO_AutoresponderFlowChart-1024x641.png\" alt=\"DrawIO_AutoresponderFlowChart\" width=\"584\" height=\"366\" /></p>\n<p>The interface of Draw.io, a free online tool that lets you create detailed flowcharts.</p>\n<p>You don’t necessarily have to write a story that only has one path. You can write a “choose your own adventure” style story with an autoresponder.</p>\n<p>Don’t know what a choose your own adventure story is? Way back in the 1980s, when people still read books, there was a type of young adult fiction called “Choose your own adventure”. At certain points in the story, you got to decide what you wanted the characters to do. So at the end of a chapter, you’d see something like this:</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>If you want to attack the ogres, go to page 37. </em></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>If you want to run away as fast as possible, go to page 51.</em></p>\n<p>You could use this technique with your autoresponder… if you’ve got an adventure novel in you. Or you could use this “choose your own adventure” technique to let your email readers choose what they want to hear about.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21085\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/ChooseYourOwnAdventure-1024x496.jpg\" alt=\"ChooseYourOwnAdventure\" width=\"584\" height=\"283\" /></p>\n<p>Action-based autoresponders are like the old “choose your own adventure” action stories.</p>\n<p>If you’re a GetResponse user, it gets even more interesting. You can pass a subscriber from one email campaign (ie, one email list) to another based on which links they click. So if you wanted, you could create two, three or even more different autoresponders, and then pass people back and forth among them based on how each individual user clicked.</p>\n<p>Starting to see why we want to plan all this out first? It can be extremely powerful. But it can also become extremely complex. A few words of caution, before you start planning your action-based autoresponder:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don’t make your flow chart/autoresponder too complex. Otherwise you’ll create a maze even you might get lost in.</li>\n<li>Think about how you might want to change your autoresponders in the future. Build in some flexibility for changes.</li>\n<li>Consider what your prospects want to know about, and what order they tend to want to know it in. The “funnel visualization” reports in your <a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/knowing-analytics-vanity-metrics-vs-actionable-metrics.html\" target=\"_blank\">Google Analytics </a>account might be helpful with this.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Get your autoresponders’ timing right</h2>\n<p>Let’s go back to time-based autoresponders. There are some standard best practices for how often to send autoresponders. Generally, marketers send one message a day for about the first week, then send switch to every other day or every few days. This gives your readers lots of information when interest is high and slows things down as their enthusiasm tapers.</p>\n<p>While that timing usually works, it’s always important to test. Your list is unique. Your readers might want emails more often or less often. The only way to know is to test.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21086\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/TimeBasedAutorespondersView-1024x926.jpg\" alt=\"TimeBasedAutorespondersView\" width=\"584\" height=\"528\" /></p>\n<p>GetResponse makes it easy to manage the spacing of your time-based autoresponders. There’s also an interface similar to this for action-based autoresponders.</p>\n<p>Here are a couple of other timing issues to consider:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some marketers send autoresponders on specific days of the week. That way, if you want to send out another type of email to your list, you won’t be sending people two emails in one day.</li>\n<li>If you allow people to sign up for more than one autoresponder, they might end up getting several emails in one day.</li>\n<li>Some marketers get around this by sending emails from one autoresponder in the morning and sending from a different autoresponder in the evening.</li>\n<li>Because of all these timing complexities, the simpler your autoresponder is, the better. Do not add any complexity unless it improves your results.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>How autoresponders to build trust</h2>\n<p>Both storytelling and autoresponders are a terrific way to build trust. That’s because both of them are extremely effective at getting your audience to know you and then (hopefully) like you. Once those two things are established, it’s time to work on trust.</p>\n<p>The autoresponder builds trust over time because it’s a slow sell.  People get to think about what you’ve said between emails. The consistency of the emails also builds trust. And it builds a habit. Every day, or every few days, your subscribers are becoming trained to look for, open and read your emails. They begin to trust you to send good information.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Adding some storytelling to your autoresponder</h2>\n<p>I really don’t have to tell you how stories work. You were hearing and telling stories even as you learned to speak. But there are some helpful things to remember about storytelling best practices. They’ll help you write better autoresponders.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every story needs a main character and a problem (or a villain). The story is how the main character, or hero, overcomes the problem.</li>\n<li>Your audience needs to identify with and care about the main character. Maybe that main character is you. Maybe it’s an imaginary person. Maybe it’s a historical character. Or maybe it’s one of your customers. Customer stories, also called “case studies”, are one of the most effective content formats around.</li>\n<li>Your audience will identify and care about that main character if he or she is like them.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Serialized storytelling</h2>\n<p>There’s a classic storytelling format that’s tailor-made for autoresponders: the serialized story. These are basically stories that are broken up into installments. Most of Charles Dickens’ books were serialized.</p>\n<p>The trick with serialized storytelling is to learn how to hook the reader at the end of each segment. Even if your story is broken into chapters, instead of short emails, you still need to give your reader a reason to continue on to the next chapter. You want to leave them hanging, with the tension high, so they’ll crave your next installment.</p>\n<p>Want to see this done at a masterful level? Watch <em>Game of Thrones</em>. The writers for that series know how to keep us hanging not just episode to episode, but from scene to scene.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>Autoresponders are a natural container for storytelling. They’re also one of the most profitable and easiest types of marketing campaigns to run. If you haven’t set up an autoresponder yet, we urge you to give it a spin.</p>\n<p><strong>Know anyone who tells great stories in their autoresponders?

Do you want to learn techniques to create subject lines with appeal? One of the biggest problems affecting those of us involved in online marketing is the fact that <strong>our subscribers do not open all of our emails</strong>. <span id=\"more-21067\"></span></p>\n<p>Whilst the open rate within the sector usually falls between 20% and 25%, these remain relative figures, as the longer the list, the harder it becomes to maintain a high open rate.</p>\n<p>Some time ago, in this blog, we published an article wherein we discussed <strong><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/7-tips-to-make-your-subscribers-more-likely-to-open-your-emails.html?\" target=\"_blank\">7 Tips to Make your Subscribers More Likely to Open Your Emails</a></strong>. This entailed tactics focused on “context”, that is, on everything that you should have prepared before you start sending emails: preventing servers from viewing you as spam, ensuring that your subscribers remain loyal to you over a long period and creating a newsletter that offers more content of value than the content presented in the blog</p>\n<p>Today, I would like to take to you about <strong>email subject lines with appeal</strong>. These subjects will not only make your subscribers want to open your emails as a result of the trust they have in you, but also due to their curiosity, aroused both by the manner in which the subject line is written and the inclusion of certain elements.</p>\n<p>Below, we provide 8 tips relating to subject lines <img src=\"http://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png\" alt=\"😉\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2># 1. Put the key word at the beginning of the subject line</h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t abuse this in all of your emails, but of you want the subscriber to focus on the subject line that you are going to discuss, <strong>the keyword can represent an element that makes your email stand out</strong> from all the others received over the course of the day.</p>\n<p>The same technique might also prove useful for posts. Indeed, at times, if the title of your post has sufficient appeal, it can be used as the email subject line.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21068\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/Keyword-1024x326.png\" alt=\"Keyword\" width=\"584\" height=\"186\" /></p>\n<h2># 2. Play with visual elements</h2>\n<p>If you want your message to stand out, employ visual elements. I am not telling you to overload the subject line with emoticons &#8211; sometimes it is useful to employ them &#8211; but rather to employ brackets, parenthesis or other elements that serve to highlight a word or key sentence that is of interest to you.</p>\n<p>For example:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>[Exclusive Content] Here are all your eBooks!</li>\n<li>[Free Tools] Download the tools we promised you.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2># 3. Use the subscriber&#8217;s name in the subject line</h2>\n<p>We normally limit this approach to those emails wherein we truly want to attract the user&#8217;s attention for a given reason: a promotion, a subscription or a campaign.</p>\n<p>When you write a subject line of this nature, <strong>you must ensure that the sentence is fresh</strong>. You do not have to always place the name of the subscriber at the beginning: include it within the discourse.</p>\n<p>For example:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>David, did you know that&#8230;?</li>\n<li>We have finally done it, David!</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2># 4. Imagine that you are writing to a friend</h2>\n<p>If you want to convey freshness, a very good technique is to imagine that the recipient is someone you know very well.</p>\n<p>We actually think of specific friends: Jonathan, Alex, Felix… and we imagine the subject line that we would spontaneously employ if we wanted to draw their attention to a specific question.</p>\n<p>Evidently, these friends respond to a given profile: <strong>the profile of potential clients interested in our niche</strong> and with whom we maintain<strong> fairly frequent communication</strong>. Nevertheless, I urge you to refrain from abusing subject lines with the user&#8217;s name for two reasons:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A loss of effectiveness.</strong> If you always employ the subscriber&#8217;s name, this approach will prove less effective when you really want to capture their attention (for example, this may prove redundant in a general blog newsletter).</li>\n<li><strong>The benefits of the content.</strong> It is often better to stress the benefits of the content that you are going to offer, rather than capturing the attention of the subscriber.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2># 5. A good subject line, where brief, is twice as good</h2>\n<p>The use of short subject lines is always recommended. In my opinion, the reason why the following is a good maxim has a two-fold explanation:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>When something is good, if it is brief, it is twice as good. <img src=\"http://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png\" alt=\"😉\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /></li>\n<li>How many characters do you think that a reader sees on his or her smartphone? When an iPhone is positioned vertically, when using Gmail, less than 40 characters can be displayed.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>If you fail to make your subscriber understand why he or she must read your message within these 40 characters, you may have lost the possibility of having your email opened.</strong></p>\n<p><strong> </strong></p>\n<h2># 6. Use the “number technique”</h2>\n<p>If you know that the subject line is not going to be short, you can take advantage of this opportunity by employing <em>the number technique</em>: using numbers to specify the benefits of the content. For example:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>100 tools and applications for Community Managers</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.socialancer.com/marketing-de-contenidos-los-casos-moz-socialbro/\" target=\"_blank\">2 cases of Content Marketing: How SocialBro and MOZ generate content of value</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21069\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/SocialBro-and-MOZ-1024x268.png\" alt=\"SocialBro and MOZ\" width=\"584\" height=\"153\" /></p>\n<p>This technique, in a very subtle manner, enables you to link the subject line heading to <strong>2 psychological perspectives that are of interest</strong>, from the point of view of the reader: information and depth.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Big numbers.</strong> When you create content with a large amount of tools, for example, what the reader perceives is that you are going to represent a source of information that will provide a great deal to investigate and test.</li>\n<li><strong>Small numbers.</strong> If the subject line includes small numbers, such as 2 or 3, the reader will understand that you are going to focus on a few cases relating to your sector in greater depth.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Therefore, you must employ numbers in a strategic manner:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>To focus the reader&#8217;s attention on the subject.</li>\n<li>To ensure that readers understand what they will find within your content.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2># 7. ‘Re:’ for sales emails</h2>\n<p>I have to warn you that you must be very careful when employing ‘Re:’ prior to writing the subject line. This technique is increasingly widespread. We have tested it on a single occasion (during a sale) to gauge its effectiveness and we noted a 5% increase in the open rate of the emails we were sending.</p>\n<p>HOWEVER &#8211; and the capitals are deliberate- not everyone likes emails of this nature.</p>\n<p>Remember that what your subscriber will understand when he or she sees such a message is that <strong>you are responding to an email that he or she sent to you, whereas, in reality, this is not true</strong>. Therefore, if you want to try this technique, go ahead, but do not abuse this approach as it may prove detrimental in the end.</p>\n<p>Indeed, we also observed that the unsubscribed rate rose&#8230; The open rate increases but you lose potential clients. Be careful.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2># 8. Employ the GetResponse “Time Machine”</h2>\n<p>I have been using and recommending GetResponse as an email marketing tool for some time. This is the tool that we employ in Socialancer, and there are many reasons why I favour it over other tools. The following link will allow you to access our <strong><a href=\"http://www.socialancer.com/recursos/getresponse/\" target=\"_blank\">GetResponse Resource Centre</a></strong>, where you will find articles and videos (in Spanish) wherein we outline the reasons why we work with GetResponse.</p>\n<p>In relation to open rate, GetResponse has two features that I really like:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Perfect Timing.</strong> This feature allows you to send messages to each subscriber when they are most likely to open their emails. To this end, GetResponse grounds its decision on the time at which each subscriber opened previous messages. <img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21070\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/Perfect-Timing-1024x636.png\" alt=\"Perfect Timing\" width=\"584\" height=\"363\" /></li>\n<li><strong>Time Travel.</strong> GetResponse sends your emails at the time you determine, according to each subscriber&#8217;s time zone. If you have a clear idea of when your subscribers normally open your emails, this feature will fine tune the deliver and improve the open rate. <img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21071\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/Time-Travel.png\" alt=\"Time Travel\" width=\"584\" height=\"295\" /></li>\n</ol>\n<p>As you can see, there are many ways of improving the open rate of your messages.<strong> Have you tried any of them? Which have served you best?

But, as a marketer, you are at the same time acutely aware of the need to <em>be</em> tyrannical and strike just as early – not least because your competitors will soon be decking the halls with seasonal sales even if you’re not.</p>\n<p>Of course, Christmas is the biggest time of the year for retailers – both on the high street and online. And so it’s the perfect time for brands to up their social media strategies and promotional activities to get a piece of the action. Put simply, come November onwards, people are looking to spend money, and so it’s your job to give them the best reasons to do so.</p>\n<p>And so, it is with jolly and joyful pleasure that I get the opportunity to bring to you 5 great tips for planning your Christmas campaigns on Facebook and other social media. Ho! Ho! Here we go!!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Planning Your Campaigns For Christmas</h2>\n<h3>#1. Start <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Early</span> NOW!</h3>\n<p>There’s not a moment to lose now as we head into November. Christmas marketers will be rearing their red-hatted heads all over social media soon enough, so make sure you’re one of the very first. Ideally, you’ll want to start launching your Christmas campaign into the wild about 6 weeks before the big day. This year, that sacred day falls on Friday the 13<sup>th</sup> of November, and so you have 2 options:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Avoid this date at all costs – especially if you’re superstitious. Go for the Wednesday or Thursday instead, or, at a push, leave it until the following Monday.</li>\n<li>Embrace the date. Use this feared day as a foil to bring unrivalled cheer and happiness to your dedicated followers. Tell them not to worry, because Christmas is just round the corner, and you’ve got the perfect gifts for each member of the family.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Either way, you need to start planning your promotions and giveaways right now in time for launch.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>#2. Decide On Promotional Offers</h3>\n<p>Everyone loves a Christmas special offer. Last year, <a href=\"https://www.fabric.co.uk/christmas-social-media-campaigns-10-things-brand-needs-know/\" target=\"_blank\">Fabric</a> posted a blog citing some interesting research, which revealed the following:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21063\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/purchase_influence.png\" alt=\"purchase_influence\" width=\"584\" height=\"586\" /></p>\n<p>“Festive shoppers are most receptive to free shipping offers, exclusive offers for that particular social network and also loyalty points and rewards.”</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>#3. Create Festive Imagery For Your Posts And Website</h3>\n<p>Christmas is special, and you’re going to have to pull out all the stops. You’re going to have to talk to your design team tomorrow and get them thinking about the special snowmen, reindeer and/or St. Nick images that are going to be accompanying your product promotions.</p>\n<p>And, when it comes to your website, it will pay dividends to pull the Christmas decorations down from the loft as well. This isn’t actually as complicated as it sounds, as there are many plugins available that you can simply install on the backend of your site that will display snowflakes falling, fairy lights, advent calendars or a Christmas countdowns. Check out ‘<a href=\"https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/free-wordpress-christmas-plugins/\" target=\"_blank\">10+ Free WordPress Plugins To Add Christmas Cheer To Your Site</a>’ to see what tickles your tinsel.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>#4. Host A Competition</h3>\n<p>Competitions are always a great way of grabbing attention, no matter what time of year it is. But at Christmas, offering a particularly generous giveaway can be the perfect way to stand out from the crowd.</p>\n<p>Facebook and Instagram are the perfect platforms on which to post a nice Christmassy picture, and you can ask for likes and shares for people to enter. On Twitter, you can get your followers to answer a question, and you reward the best answer with your prize. Just remember to make it Christmassy!</p>\n<p>“If there was a 10<sup>th</sup> reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh, what would you name him? Top answer wins best prize ever!! Answer with #10reindeer.”</p>\n<p>There you go – 136 characters and all yours if you want to use it.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>#5. Analyse Results For Christmas 2016</h3>\n<p>Christmas happens every year, you know. And so, when the silly season has calmed down a little, take the time in the New Year to analyse the results of all of your special Christmas campaign efforts, so you are better equipped for next year’s festivities. Furthermore, it is likely that you will have generated some extra leads with all your extra endeavours, so January is a great time to start trying to convert these fresh little snowflakes in an effort to kick off your New Year sales.</p>\n<p><strong>Got any more Christmas campaign tips?

Video is king now that everyone has a smart phone. Just like YouTube, LinkedIn is often overlooked when it comes to the use of search online. <span id=\"more-21049\"></span></p>\n<p>And just as YouTube is still overlooked and underestimated by brands, if not by consumers themselves, as to how they market themselves digitally &#8211; LinkedIn is in the same spot.</p>\n<p>Search works on LinkedIn just the same way as it works on Google, in fact the two go together! <strong>If you have spent time and effort on your personal profile on LinkedIn you not only increase your rankings on LinkedIn but you also improve your search rankings on Google</strong> too.</p>\n<p>If you adhere to the rules of Google and implant many keywords throughout your profile they will get picked up by the LinkedIn search engine and your search will be optimised towards them. The same applies to Google. So let&#8217;s go deeper into what LinkedIn search can do for you!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Coming up on top</h2>\n<p>LinkedIn is a gamification platform. If you do all the things they want and update regularly, you will be effectively rewarded with improved search position on LinkedIn. The bonus is that you are also rewarded on Google, because as I said before &#8211; the two go together.</p>\n<p>For example, if you type in “LinkedIn” into Linkedin, you get me! You also get 46,000 other people most of whom actually work for LinkedIn but I come up top. Why? Because I probably use the site more often and more times than anyone else who focuses on LinkedIn. What&#8217;s more, I have the &#8220;LinkedIn&#8221; keyword written so many times on my personal profile &#8211; in my summary, in my experience, and in my blogs &#8211; that Linkedin sees this and “rewards” my profile with higher search rankings.</p>\n<p>The same thing happens with me being an event speaker. I use the term in my headline but I also created a separate experience section that details my experience of speaking engagements for companies, event and conference companies, and other organisations. This raises my ranking for people who want to find an event speaker on LinkedIn. Out of 4,000 people I come top for “event speaker” search on LinkedIn. Not rocket science just organic and all free.</p>\n<p>This also applies to your company page. Which is why I can never understand why people 1) don’t have a company page on Linkedin (it’s free) and 2) why they don’t update it on a regular basis. Why not fill the top ten searches on Google with your company website (which ironically I use to purely drive traffic to my personal and company page on LinkedIn not the other way around), your LinkedIn personal profile and your LinkedIn company page?</p>\n<p>By doing this you give people more reasons to engage with you, more reasons to socially buy from you, more benefits to doing business with you, more angles to want to work together. <strong>Putting in the effort on your LinkedIn personal and company pages will improve your search rankings on both LinkedIn and Google organically without spending a dollar.</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Publishing on LinkedIn</h2>\n<p>It has now been more than a year since LinkedIn opened up its publishing platform to all members, a capability that was once exclusive only to a select group of ‘Influencers’ like Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and Barack Obama. Since then, LinkedIn members have been publishing more than tens, if not hundreds of thousands, of posts per week. LinkedIn engagement levels have gone through the roof, <strong>professionals on LinkedIn want to read engaging content</strong>.</p>\n<p><strong>So treat LinkedIn as your marketing partner for, like you, LinkedIn wants to drive additional traffic</strong> and more importantly engagement onto their website/app. Since acquiring Pulse in 2013, LinkedIn has transformed into a massive content engine where members actively seek out, discuss, and share advice and latest trends.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21056\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/LinkedIn_publish-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"LinkedIn_publish\" width=\"584\" height=\"390\" /></p>\n<p>The other great benefit of posting your blogs on LinkedIn rather than just your own website is that they can also appear on Pulse under different headings like entrepreneur, leadership, and small business. <strong>This can also open up your blog to millions more people who share an interest or same background as you who</strong> then could also like and share it with their connections on LinkedIn or at the very least read it. This will ensure that your blog is seen, read, and shared by even more people.</p>\n<p>LinkedIn is mobile-enabled and engages members with real-time notifications. LinkedIn even sends out eDMs that tell your followers when you publish something new and interesting. So why would you want to spend the time, money, and effort rebuilding a community when you can leverage LinkedIn’s of more than 364 million – one that is professional, targeted, and engaged?</p>\n<p><strong>Your latest three blogs on LinkedIn continue to sit on your LinkedIn profile and engage anyone new that you connect to</strong>. Research conducted by Econsultancy even proved LinkedIn sends nearly four times more people to your homepage at 64 per cent compared to Twitter (17 per cent) and Facebook (14 per cent). So make sure to share your content on LinkedIn!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Your turn!</h2>\n<p>What are you waiting for? Are you struggling to gain traction with your company blog? Try this: Re-post it to LinkedIn with a footer that says <i>“this blog first appeared on </i><i>www.yourcompany.com</i><i>”</i> to cross-drive traffic to your company website. The beauty of LinkedIn is that every view, like, and share can be analysed and tracked.</p>\n<p>There are also specific interest Groups where your audience has already been defined for you. You can share your blog there and attract a whole new level of professionals who you are not connected to but who are interested in the same area of business as you. If your content is thought provoking and engaging you will even become a Top Contributor of the groups with all the extra views that were brought in by your LinkedIn profile.</p>\n<p>The other amazing thing about posting your blog posts on LinkedIn is the analytics. LinkedIn now tells you not only who viewed the post, liked it, and commented on it but it now analyses everyone who viewed it and break it down for you as to who they are. This includes the city they come from, the industry, the title of the viewer, and the traffic source. Your website and Google analytics can&#8217;t tell you any of that.</p>\n<p><b>Skip all the heavy-lifting – LinkedIn has done all of that. Now sit back and watch the magic that the LinkedIn platform can do for you. </b><b>Worth thinking about. It’s all free on LinkedIn. </b></p>\n<p><b>What are your thoughts on search and publishing via LinkedIn?

They’ve been around for a long time, hanging out in the <i>corner</i> and biding their time. Waiting to be noticed not as a niche but as a next big thing. Waiting for other content types to have their moments in the spotlight. A few years ago, it was text-based social posts. Then it was all about images. But right now, the podcast is having its “moment.”<span id=\"more-21043\"></span></p>\n<p>From classics like <a href=\"http://www.thisamericanlife.org/\" target=\"_blank\">This American Life</a> to its viral spinoff <a href=\"http://serialpodcast.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Serial</a>, and from mass appeal NPR to more niche topics like knitting or sports, there really is something for everyone. There’s even a podcast where <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-salad-scrambled-eggs/id1009465366?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Smith talks about old episodes of Frasier</a> (yes, really, and it’s my new favorite thing).</p>\n<p>And my favorite thing about podcasts is that they’re the perfect on-the-go content. All those mornings in the car or on the subway when you’re gearing up for your day. It’s usually a pretty unproductive time &#8211; until now.</p>\n<p>Add a few of the podcasts below to your morning commute to become a better marketer without trying to find more time in your workday for learning.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>1. Marketing Smarts</h2>\n<p>Currently hosted by Kerry O’Shea Gorgone for MarketingProfs, <a href=\"http://www.marketingprofs.com/podcasts/\" target=\"_blank\">Marketing Smarts</a> has been around and established since 2011, way before this current podcast renaissance. That proven track record, along with having names like MarketingProfs and Kerry’s attached, means you get to hear from some <i>big deal</i> guests.</p>\n<p>What kind of big deals? Some of the most exciting guests that I’ve listened to on Marketing Smarts lately include Chris Brogan and Mack Collier. They also have guests talk about things  found really interesting but never would have thought to research myself, like <a href=\"http://www.marketingprofs.com/podcasts/2015/28108/mobile-games-Dave-and-Busters-Marketing-Smarts\" target=\"_blank\">how Dave &amp; Buster’s uses free mobile games</a> in their marketing strategy.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency: </b>weekly</p>\n<p><b>Length:</b> ~ 30 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download: </b><a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-reach-100-your-audience/id468650101?i=349467029&amp;mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">How to Reach 100% of Your Audience</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>2. Grammar Girl Quick &amp; Dirty Tips</h2>\n<p>Modern marketing relies on content. Website content, ad copy, blog posts, email campaigns, tweets &#8211; they’re all on us. So whether or not the word “content” is in your job title, there’s a <i>really</i> good chance you’re a content creator.</p>\n<p>That’s why writing skills are more important than ever for marketers. Brush up on the basics with <a href=\"http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-girl\" target=\"_blank\">Grammar Girl</a> while she answers questions you’ve probably had before, too. So click the ‘Subscribe’ button. Your editor will thank you later.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency:</b> weekly</p>\n<p><b>Length:</b> 10-20 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download:</b> <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/481-gg-or.-that-should-be/id173429229?i=351898842&amp;mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">And/Or. That Should Be a Word.</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>3. The Lede</h2>\n<p>This one is a must-listen for any fans of Copyblogger. No brainer, since it’s hosted by Jerod Morris and Demian Farnworth. Each week, they talk about all the topics that Copyblogger and Rainmaker represent: content marketing, copywriting, email, and more.</p>\n<p>What I love about <a href=\"http://rainmaker.fm/series/lede/\" target=\"_blank\">The Lede</a> is that they’re not afraid of controversy. I wouldn’t say that it’s controversial, but more that Jerod and Demian have really interesting discussions and debates about controversial topics. For example, they’re currently taking on <a href=\"http://rainmaker.fm/audio/lede/written-content/\" target=\"_blank\">audio vs. written content</a>.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency:</b> weekly</p>\n<p><b>Length:</b> 20-40 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download:</b> <a href=\"http://rainmaker.fm/audio/lede/content-seo/\" target=\"_blank\">How Much Does the Modern Marketer Need to Know About SEO?</a></p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21045\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/itunes.png\" alt=\"itunes\" width=\"584\" height=\"378\" /></p>\n<h2>4. Content Inc.</h2>\n<p>For those of us that do focus on content, there’s a podcast for us, too. Unsurprisingly, it comes from CMI and Joe Pulizzi: <a href=\"http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/content-inc-podcast/\" target=\"_blank\">Content Inc.</a></p>\n<p>My favorite thing about this podcast is that it’s really bite-sized, and therefore perfect to listen to on my walk to lunch or back from the subway. You see a lot of marketing podcasts that release long episodes once a week, but not many that release shorter episodes more frequently.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency:</b> twice per week</p>\n<p><b>Length: </b>~ 10 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download: </b><a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-81-building-your-content/id948387773?i=351591320&amp;mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">Building Your Content Marketing Fantasy Team</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>5. Social Media Marketing Podcast</h2>\n<p>Brought to you by Social Media Examiner, in <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/social-media-marketing-podcast/id549899114?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">this podcast</a> Michael Stelzner interviews the industry’s best about their success stories and best tips. The weekly show goes pretty in depth, clocking in as one of the longer podcasts on the list.</p>\n<p>And it’s not just straightforward social media best practices. It’s more advice for social media marketers, than advice about social media marketing (if that makes sense). They talk about the larger industry and driving forces behind social, such as <a href=\"http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/getting-attention-the-science-of-being-captivating-online/\" target=\"_blank\">capturing attention</a>, as well as more tactical topics like Twitter marketing and Facebook groups.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency:</b> weekly</p>\n<p><b>Length: </b>30-60 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download:</b> <a href=\"http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/analyzing-content-with-google-analytics-with-andy-crestodina/\" target=\"_blank\">Analyzing Your Content With Google Analytics: How to Know What Works</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>6. Shopify Masters</h2>\n<p>Ecommerce marketers, this one’s for you. It’s also for those of you who read case studies about huge startups and enterprise companies, and think, “But how can I apply this to me?”</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://shopifymasters.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Shopify Masters</a> interviews successful ecommerce entrepreneurs using Shopify about online business, marketing, and more. But one theme across all episodes, regardless of topic, is growth. And that’s something all marketers can never hear too much about.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency:</b> weekly</p>\n<p><b>Length:</b> 50-70 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download:</b> <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/how-content-drives-sales-for/id900763980?i=349234896&amp;mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">How Content Drives Sales for HasBean.co.uk</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>7. #AskGaryVee</h2>\n<p>Talk about content repurposing at its finest. Gary Vaynerchuk and the folks at Vaynermedia have been producing the <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfA33-E9P7FC0AoARnMLvgFgESJe4_Ngs\" target=\"_blank\">#AskGaryVee YouTube show</a> for ages as a way for Gary to answer questions he gets asked on Twitter. And they also take the audio to turn into <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-askgaryvee-show/id928159684?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">a podcast</a>.</p>\n<p>If you’ve ever read or listened or watched anything by Gary Vaynerchuk, you know that this podcast is entertaining. He’s definitely one of the most animated and charismatic marketing leaders that I follow! There are several new episodes of #AskGaryVee per week, and they’re perfect for morning commutes when something dry will just put me back to sleep.</p>\n<p><b>Frequency: </b>usually twice per week</p>\n<p><b>Length: </b>10-25 minutes</p>\n<p><b>Episode to download: </b><a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/how-creatives-can-start-thinking/id928159684?i=348237981&amp;mt=2\" target=\"_blank\">How Creatives Can Start Thinking Like an Entrepreneur</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\n<p>I’ll be honest. It took a long time for me to jump on the podcast bandwagon. I love the written word too much to replace it with audio. But then I realized &#8211; <b>I didn’t have to.</b> If you love learning and listening to smart marketers, podcasts let you get even more of that on top of what you already read or watch.</p>\n<p>What are your favorite marketing podcasts that jumpstart your day?

And infographics are still a great way to build links.</p>\n<p><span id=\"more-21024\"></span></p>\n<p>You may already be adding an image to everything you post on social media. And you probably design nice headers for all your blog posts. Maybe you’ve even made a few videos.</p>\n<p>But what about your emails? Images make a different there, too. If you’re not including images in your emails, you might be missing out. And if you’re not using images correctly, that could also be costing you sales.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>First image click-trick: A hack to overcome image blocking.</h2>\n<p>Before we dive too deep into all cool stuff you can do with images, let’s address the big bugaboo: Image blocking.</p>\n<p>Image blocking is a setting in most email clients, like Gmail or Yahoo! Mail. It lets the user see or not see images in their email messages. Some email clients, like Gmail, automatically show images. Other email clients don’t. But even if the images are shown automatically, many people decide to turn images off.</p>\n<p>According to Litmus, about 43% of all Gmail users don’t see images in their emails. Other email clients, like all versions of AOL, Yahoo! Mail, and Outlook on desktops are set to automatically block images. Again, people can change those settings, but the reality is that plenty of people have image blocking turned on. Plenty of people won’t see the images you include you in your emails.</p>\n<p>Drat! What’s a marketer to do?</p>\n<p>Well, there’s a hack for this. It won’t give your users the gorgeous images you want them to see, but it does let you show something better than this:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21025\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/MakersRowExample-1024x622.png\" alt=\"MakersRowExample\" width=\"584\" height=\"355\" /></p>\n<p>Maker’s Row might want to rely less heavily on images in its emails, or make better use of ALT tags.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>An introduction to ALT tags</h2>\n<p>If you’re not an HTML coder, you may not know what an ALT tag is. Basically, it’s part of the HTML code that creates an image. The ALT tag lets you include a text description for each image. ALT tags are most often used on web pages, but they also work in emails.</p>\n<p>To add ALT tags in GetResponse, just select an image in the Email Creator. Look for the “ALT” button.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21026\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/AddAltTags-1024x541.jpg\" alt=\"AddAltTags\" width=\"584\" height=\"309\" /></p>\n<p>Click that ALT button to add your copy:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21027\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/AddAltTags2-1024x646.jpg\" alt=\"AddAltTags2\" width=\"584\" height=\"368\" /></p>\n<p>Click the blue OK button when you’re done. Now you’ve got a basic ALT tag set up. Pretty simple, right?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Make those ALT tags stand out</h2>\n<p>That’s not the end with ALT tags, though. They can be formatted to stand out more. However, this is an advanced trick. It requires some hand coding of your emails, which some of you won’t want to do. I’m including it anyway, just so you know what’s possible.</p>\n<p>Here’s an email with standard ALT tags. The text is certainly legible and it accurately describes the images. But it doesn’t pop much:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21028\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/PlainALTText-1024x532.png\" alt=\"PlainALTText\" width=\"584\" height=\"303\" /></p>\n<p>This is ALT text that’s been formatted with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets markup). Both of the headlines here (“Overstock Tires” and “Help Stop Breast Cancer”) are actually ALT tags, just with some extra formatting.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21029\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/4WD_ALTTags1-1024x721.png\" alt=\"4WD_ALTTags1\" width=\"584\" height=\"411\" /></p>\n<p>This is what this email looks like with the images on:</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21030\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/4WD_ALTTags2-2-852x1024.jpg\" alt=\"4WD_ALTTags2-2\" width=\"584\" height=\"702\" /></p>\n<p>While CSS-formatted or “styled” alt tags look better, you’ll need some coding skill to create them. If you’re terrified of code, skip over this part. If you’re not, here’s an example of the code that makes an image with a basic ALT tag:</p>\n<p>&lt;img alt=&#8221;Halloween treats just for you&#8221; src=&#8221;myimage.jpg&#8221; width=&#8221;500&#8243; height=&#8221;200&#8243; /&gt;</p>\n<p>Notice the height and width there. In most email clients, you need those to get ALT tags to show up. Now here’s code for an image with the ALT tag formatting magic.</p>\n<p>&lt;img style=&#8221;font-size: 20px; color: #CC3300; font-weight: bold; height: 200px; width: 500px;&#8221; alt=&#8221; Halloween treats just for you &#8221; src=&#8221;myimage.jpg &#8221; width=&#8221;500&#8243; height=&#8221;200&#8243; /&gt;</p>\n<p>Again, to add that to an email, you’ll have to hand code your emails. That means you’ll need to use GetReponse’s HTML Source Editor, not the Email Creator.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21031\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/CreateNewsletter-1024x595.png\" alt=\"CreateNewsletter\" width=\"584\" height=\"339\" /></p>\n<p>Even if you can’t hand code your emails right now, just adding basic ALT text in your emails is a great start. Here are a few tips for writing better ALT tags:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep them short. Some email clients will cut off long ALT tags.</li>\n<li>Make your ALT text add to your message. Here’s an example of ALT text that doesn’t really add much:</li>\n</ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21033\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/ALTTagsThatArentSoGreat-1024x579.png\" alt=\"ALTTagsThatArentSoGreat\" width=\"584\" height=\"330\" /></p>\n<p>See where it says “Logo” and “banner”? That’s certainly descriptive, but it communicates very little. Instead, this marketer could have changed “Logo” to their company name and tagline. And they could have changed “banner” to whatever the banner’s call to action is.</p>\n<p>That brings us to possibly the biggest issue with image blocking: Don’t make your call to action button an image. Because if images are turned off, that image may not render well. An email with a broken call to action is a wasted email. Instead, use CSS markup to create your buttons.</p>\n<p>GetResponse users: Worry not. All the buttons you make in the Email Creator are in CSS. They’ll show up and work just fine, whether your subscribers have images turned on or off.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Second trick: Make your images load faster</h2>\n<p>So you’ve heard about how half of all emails are now opened on mobile devices, right? And you’ve heard how impatient mobile users (and any users) are with slow-loading websites, right? Well, ends up that slow-loading emails are kind of a disaster, too. Most subscribers won’t wait around for them to open.</p>\n<p>Know what the #1 offender for slow-loading emails is?</p>\n<p>Images. Big images.</p>\n<p>It’s fun to use big, gorgeous images, but be careful: They can slow your emails down and even hurt <a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/what-do-isps-really-look-at-in-content-deliverability-part-vi.html\" target=\"_blank\">deliverability rates</a>. But there’s a snap workaround. It’s free, low-tech, and fast.</p>\n<p>Reduce the file size of those images. There are a bunch of free tools online to do this. I like the <a href=\"http://www.jpegmini.com/\" target=\"_blank\">JpegMini</a> app myself. But there’s also Google Photos, <a href=\"https://imageoptim.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Image Optim</a>, and of course Adobe Photoshop, or any of the other desktop-based photo editing programs. Apparently, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Plugin Smush.it</a> is pretty good, too.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21034\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/JpegMini-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"JpegMini\" width=\"584\" height=\"417\" /></p>\n<p>Aim to keep the file sizes of your images small. It will improve deliverability and make your emails more user-friendly. Nobody likes to wait even a second for an email message to load.</p>\n<p>Whatever tool you use is up to you. But do try to reduce the file size of the images you use in your emails. Each image should be no bigger than 50KB each. Some sources say you’ll run into problems if they’re over 20KB each.</p>\n<p>Also aim to keep the overall file size of your email below 125KB if possible. This won’t do miracles for your deliverability rates, but it helps. And emails that load fast definitely have an edge over emails that take forever.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Third Trick: Make those images move</h2>\n<p>Surely you’ve seen at least one email with an animated gif. If not, here’s what one looks like (An animated gif that was used as a header image in an email from PopSugar):</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21035\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/unnamed2.gif\" alt=\"unnamed2\" width=\"584\" height=\"274\" /></p>\n<p>Here’s another animated gif in an email. This one’s used as a background image (See the full email <a href=\"http://us9.campaign-archive1.com/?u=5cb712992a906406c5eae28a7&amp;id=05d9ede24a&amp;e=3d0aaa33b4\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>):</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21036 size-large\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/TrelloAnimatedGif-1024x928.gif\" alt=\"TrelloAnimatedGif\" width=\"584\" height=\"529\" /></p>\n<p>And just one more… Here’s an animated gif tutorial/promotion for a new feature in a social media tool. This was included in an email as the primary, above-the-fold image. SAAS companies can get a lot of mileage out of animated gifs.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21037\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/unnamed.gif\" alt=\"unnamed\" width=\"540\" height=\"507\" /></p>\n<p>New software features or software tutorials are one of the most common ways I see animated gifs being used.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/animated-gifs-in-emails-why-not.html\" target=\"_blank\">Animated gifs</a> are a terrific way to add some sparkle to your emails. They don’t have to be big, elaborate animations, either. In the Trello example above, there’s just two frames.</p>\n<p>You can make animated gifs in Photoshop or on any number of free online tools, but my favorite is <a href=\"http://gifmaker.me/\" target=\"_blank\">Gifmaker.me</a>. I’ve tried about six different gif makers, but Gifmaker wins the prize for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>how many controls you get</li>\n<li>how small the file size of the final animation is</li>\n<li>how they don’t add a watermark with their logo</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Do use an image file size reducer before you make your animated gifs. Get the frames of your animation to be as small in file size as possible. Otherwise the file size of the final animation can get unwieldy. If you forget to make the frames small before you’ve made the animation, don’t worry. <a href=\"http://ezgif.com/\" target=\"_blank\">EZGif.com</a> can reduce the file size of an animated gif by almost half.</p>\n<p>One last thing: Try to use animated gifs where they truly add to the message of the email, not just as an afterthought. For example, the animated gif from Trello supports the message of that email, which is to celebrate Trello’s 10<sup>th</sup> year anniversary.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>What do you think?</h3>\n<p>Got any more image tricks to get people to click?

This has meant that, although the site has been evidently useful for Pinners in order to research the products that they might like to buy, actual Pinterest-enabled conversions have not been as spectacular as they might have been<span id=\"more-21017\"></span></p>\n<p>93% of Pinterest users use the platform to plan purchases. &#8211; that’s an incredible statistic brought to us from the <a href=\"https://www.shopify.co.uk/infographics/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Shopify blog</a>, and certainly one that <em>all</em> social media marketers should sit up and take notice of – especially if its physical products (as opposed to services) that your company is peddling. Check out the full infographic rammed with loads of great commerce stats about how shoppers behave on Pinterest:</p>\n<p><em><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21018\" src=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/uploads/2015/10/IG.png\" alt=\"IG\" width=\"373\" height=\"1453\" /></em>What is perhaps most notable about these stats is that they come from data and research gathered <em>before </em>Pinterest introduced its <a href=\"https://business.pinterest.com/en/buyable-pins\" target=\"_blank\">Buyable Pins</a> feature on the platform.</p>\n<p>But, since its launch, according to the <a href=\"https://business.pinterest.com/en/blog/new-merchants-and-platforms-buyable-pins\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest blog</a>, “Even in these early days, we&#8217;re seeing strong results from Buyable Pins. A study of Buyable Pins from Shopify merchants showed <strong>2x higher conversion rates</strong> compared to other Pins on mobile. That’s promising to us (and hopefully to you!) because we wanted to build something that would make mobile shopping frictionless.”</p>\n<p>Well, I would concur that this is indeed “promising” – for the feature is really only in its infancy, and, as yet, not completely rolled out. Indeed “Buyable Pins are only available to select U.S. retailers and businesses using commerce platforms like <a href=\"https://www.shopify.com/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Shopify</a>, <a href=\"http://www.demandware.com/pages/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Demandware</a>, <a href=\"https://www.bigcommerce.com/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Bigcommerce</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ibm.com/commerce/us-en/ecommerce/?lnk=WH_ecommerce\" target=\"_blank\">IBM Commerce</a> and <a href=\"https://info2.magento.com/Pinterest.html?utm_source=pinterest&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Magento</a>,” says <a href=\"https://business.pinterest.com/en/get-list-buyable-pins\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest for Business</a>. “We plan to work on more integrations in the future.”</p>\n<p>So, “promising” it may be, but if you want to start flogging your goods on Pinterest, you’re actually, for the time being, going to have to get in line. Currently there’s a <a href=\"https://business.pinterest.com/en/get-list-buyable-pins\" target=\"_blank\">waiting list</a> that you can join to start setting up your Pinterest for Business page as a portal for direct sales. Or, if you already use <a href=\"https://www.shopify.com/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Shopify</a>, <a href=\"http://www.demandware.com/pages/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Demandware</a>, <a href=\"https://www.bigcommerce.com/pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Bigcommerce</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ibm.com/commerce/us-en/ecommerce/?lnk=WH_ecommerce\" target=\"_blank\">IBM Commerce</a> or <a href=\"https://info2.magento.com/Pinterest.html?utm_source=pinterest&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\">Magento</a>, to run your online store on your website, then you can click on the links and apply via them.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Why The Wait?</h2>\n<p>Well, that’s the question that many eager retailers want answered. Nathan on the Shopify discussions page, though, helpfully gives us an answer:</p>\n<p>“Pinterest has created one of the most genuinely marketable social media communities ever and to make sure that the community is as receptive as possible and has a high degree of interest, they&#8217;re very protective of who and what can currently be sold on that market to build consumer confidence. At the moment they are reviewing all shops that are applying to make sure that they have a strong business history and meet all the requirements of their advertising policies – <a href=\"https://about.pinterest.com/en/advertising-rules\" target=\"_blank\">https://about.pinterest.com/en/advertising-rules</a>”.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>In The Meantime…</h2>\n<p>Buyable Pins have the potential to literally change the face of e-commerce on the internet. With 87% of pinners saying that they have purchased something they’ve discovered whilst pinning, just think of all the added conversions that could be made when all users have to do is click a button.</p>\n<p>As Pinterest co-founder and chief executive Ben Silbermann comments: “Pinterest is already designed to work like a catalogue, so we wanted to find a way to weave buyable pins into the pages people already know. Buyable pins are a simple and secure way to buy the products you love right from inside Pinterest.”</p>\n<p>Put simply, there’s never been a better time to start focussing on your Pinterest account whilst you wait for approval to start selling (see ‘<a href=\"http://blog.getresponse.com/5-great-ways-to-stand-out-on-pinterest.html\" target=\"_blank\">5 Great Ways To Stand Out On Pinterest</a>’).</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Setting Up</h2>\n<p>As mentioned, the first thing that you will need to do to is get on <a href=\"https://business.pinterest.com/en/get-list-buyable-pins\" target=\"_blank\">a waiting list</a>. Once you’ve been approved there are a couple more steps that you need to take:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your site must be set up to generate a product feed in a specific format that notifies Pinterest which of your products are eligible for purchase via the Buyable Pins program.</li>\n<li>Your site must also implement a specific API that allows the Pinterest servers to create orders on your site for users of the Pinterest iPhone and iPad applications.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Now, this might start to sound a bit technical and even off-putting for many online retailers, but if you set up with Shopify, Magento or one of the other commerce platforms listed above, then most of this will be taken care of for you.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Why Buyable Pins Kick Ass For Online Merchants</h2>\n<p>First and foremost – there are <strong>no subscription or transaction fees! </strong>That’s right, Pinterest will not be taking a cut from sales made on its site, and is providing this additional service for merchants absolutely free of charge. Instead, the social network hopes to make extra money by increasing merchants’ engagement with Pinterest, specifically via advertising and its <a href=\"https://business.pinterest.com/en/promoted-pins\" target=\"_blank\">Promoted Pins</a> program.</p>\n<p>It won’t all come completely free, of course – your commerce platform will charge you for integrating the extension into your online store, but, on the scale of things, this will be a one-off charge that is likely to be minimal compared to having to cough up a percentage every time someone makes a purchase from your Pinterest page.</p>\n<p>But, as the merchant, you will absolutely ‘own’ each order that gets placed on your Pinterest page. This means that, unlike when you sell through a third-party channel like Amazon or eBay, the transaction will take place just as if the customer were buying directly from your website. This means that you will be able to reach out and engage with your customers in much more meaningful ways.</p>\n<p>For instance, you will have direct access to all of the customer’s data – email address, demographic, the lot – so you will have the direct opportunity to appeal to them to come back again and place another order. This means Pinterest’s buyable pins will deliver a much higher customer lifetime value than if they had bought your product through a third-party channel, where the likes of Amazon retain the ‘ownership’ of the order and indeed the customer.</p>\n<p><strong>Have you managed to get off the ground with Pinterest’s Buyable Pins yet?

They are Tribe. Their multitude of talents and dedication to quality is the backbone of our reputation.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also thankful for our community. You guys support us, challenge us, and push us to continuously innovate and improve. Without you, we wouldn&#8217;t be where we are today, and for that, we are deeply appreciative.</p>\n<h2>Giving Back</h2>\n<p>For us, a big part of participating in the WordPress community is giving back. Not just during special holidays, but continuously throughout the year.</p>\n<p>Helping out organizations that help others has been one of our focuses this year. We&#8217;re proud to share that to date, we&#8217;ve donated over $200,000 in plugin licenses through our <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/apply-for-nppp/\">Non-Profit Partnership Program</a>.</p>\n<p>Like most top WordPress agencies, we encourage and support our team&#8217;s efforts to contribute to the community on a personal level. Throughout 2015, they have spent countless hours volunteering, contributing to core, releasing free plugins, speaking at WordCamps or meetups, and getting involved in other ways.</p>\n<p>Recognition is important to us, so we want to take a moment to call out some of their individual contributions to the community:</p>\n<p>-Zach &amp; Matt released <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/headlineenvy/\" target=\"_blank\">HeadlineEnvy</a>, an A/B headline testing plugin that integrates with Optimizely.</p>\n<p>-Nico volunteered for <a href=\"https://buenosaires.wordcamp.org/2015/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Buenos Aires</a>, the first official WordPress event to be held in that location in the past 5 years.</p>\n<p>-Gustavo helped organize <a href=\"https://riodejaneiro.wordcamp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">WordCamp Rio de Janeiro</a> and <a href=\"https://riodejaneiro.wordcamp.org/2015/speaker/gustavo-bordoni/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke there</a>.

With The Events Calendar, we include all the basics you need, without dragging down your site with options you don&#8217;t. Of course, if you need additional views, recurring events, advanced widgets, we also have <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/\">our PRO version</a> available.</p>\n<p>For many site owners, they&#8217;re golden just running The Events Calendar or Events Calendar PRO.</p>\n<p>But your site is different. You have events listed on your calendar that are designed to generate revenue, so you want to be able to sell tickets online without going through a 3rd party ticketing agent.</p>\n<p>We can help you with that.</p>\n<h3>Layer #1: WooCommerce Tickets</h3>\n<p>Enter your first layer: <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets/\">WooCommerce Tickets</a>.</p>\n<p>Boom.</p>\n<p>Now you can sell tickets online directly from your event page without having to send visitors off to a 3rd party site.</p>\n<p>But hold up &#8211; that’s not the only thing you want your calendar to do.</p>\n<p>In addition to your own events, you also want other people to be able to add their events to your site’s calendar. Maybe you’re a school and you want each department to manage their own events. Or a real estate office with many agents that need to be able to list all of their upcoming open houses. Or you run an interest group and want people to contribute to your community calendar. Basically, any scenario where you want user-generated events to be added to your calendar without them needing access to your admin.</p>\n<p>Time to add another layer.</p>\n<h3>Layer #2: Community Events</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/\">Community Events</a> gives you the ability to accept front end submissions from users without giving them access to your dashboard. They input all the info for each event, then submit the event for addition to your calendar. (<a href=\"http://wpshindig.com/events/\" target=\"_blank\">You can see this in action on our demo site.</a>)</p>\n<p>But wait. Some of the events people are adding have a ticket fee associated with them. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could allow those people to sell tickets to THEIR event on OUR website?</p>\n<p>That’s where our final layer comes into play.</p>\n<h3>Layer #3: Community Tickets</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/community-tickets/\">Community Tickets</a> harnesses the power of Community Events and WooCommerce Tickets, plus adds functionality to create an interactive calendar that enables event organizers to post their own events, create tickets for those events, and receive payments for ticket sales. Organizers even have access to basic ticket sales reporting &#8211; all without touching your WordPress admin dashboard.</p>\n<p>Best of all, as the site owner, you can decide if you want to charge a fee or split the ticket sale revenue with the event organizers. Community Tickets doesn&#8217;t just allow you to sell tickets online through your community calendar &#8211; it also opens up a whole new revenue model for your WordPress site.</p>\n<h3>Community Tickets: A Trifecta of WordPress Ticketing Functionality</h3>\n<p>Check out our demo video and let us know what you think. We can’t wait to hear how you’re using <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/product/community-tickets/\">Community Tickets</a> to increase ticket sales and increase revenue on your WordPress site.</p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/144653641\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Community Tickets: An Overview\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/community-tickets-sell-tickets-online-through-your-community-calendar/\">Community Tickets: Sell Tickets Online Through Your Community Calendar</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:105:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/community-tickets-sell-tickets-online-through-your-community-calendar/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"Lost in Translation\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:59:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:30:06 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:4:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"News\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:1;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:19:\"The Events Calendar\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:2;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"translations\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}i:3;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"wordpress.org\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1012849\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:619:\"<p>In July, we announced that we were moving all our translations to GlotPress&#8211; a big step towards improving our localization and empowering our international users.

Last month, we followed the WordPress community&#8217;s lead and moved the translations for our free plugin, The Events Calendar, to <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>We realize that two moves in the span of a few months could be frustrating or confusing for our users. So we wanted to take some time to explain what went into this decision and what it means for the future.</p>\n<h3>2015: The Year of the Translation</h3>\n<p>Since we planned our roadmap last year, we knew we wanted to prioritize localization features during our 2015 development work. More and more of our users are outside of North America, and we wanted to respond to that change in demographic. With that in mind, we added time zone support and <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/what-weve-learned-from-integrating-with-wpml/\">improved compatibility with WPML</a>.</p>\n<p>The biggest change for the team was our move to GlotPress for managing plugin translations. Previously, we&#8217;d accepted translations from volunteers via our forum, and then (after testing the submissions) manually added the new files to each plugin&#8217;s /lang folder, to be available in the next release.</p>\n<p>As the number of people using translations grew, it became clear that we needed a system that was easier for both our team and our users. GlotPress is the perfect solution- it gave us a centralized place for all our translations and made it easier for volunteers to contribute, whether a single string update or a new full translation. We deputized several of our long-time translators as validators, which meant that we had native speakers approving new translations. Additionally, it became easier for folks to download the very latest translations, without having to wait for the next release. Perhaps best of all, all of our translations were organized on the nifty new <a href=\"http://translations.theeventscalendar.com\">translations.theeventscalendar.com</a>.</p>\n<h3>WordPress.org announces language packs for plugins</h3>\n<p>After several months of enjoying our new GlotPress site, <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2015/09/01/plugin-translations-on-wordpress-org/\">WordPress.org announced</a> that they were extending their language pack service to WP plugins. This service is also run using GlotPress, but with translations for all plugins gathered at <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>Managing the translations for The Events Calendar via translate.wordpress.org means enjoying many of the same handy features from our original GlotPress site. Users can make and update translations via their browser, and translations are easily downloadable.</p>\n<p>However, some aspects of this system are not so advantageous for our users. For one, using this new system separates the translations for our core plugin (The Events Calendar) from our premium plugins (Events Calendar PRO, Community Events, etc.). While WordPress.org&#8217;s system is meant to be used by all <em>free</em> WP plugins, it&#8217;s extremely unlikely to ever include premium plugins. Thus, premium users will need to download translations from two different places in order to get a fully translated site.</p>\n<p>The other disadvantage to moving the TEC translations is that our team is no longer able to approve submitted strings. With our original GlotPress set-up, members of our support team or one of our approved validators could approve a new or updated string within the plugin. We reviewed submitted changes regularly so translators didn&#8217;t have to wait long to see their work added to the official translation.</p>\n<p>With the WordPress.org-based system, only official Translation Editors can approve strings. This means that when one of our users submits a change, we are not able to review or approve it. The user must wait until a Translation Editor from their language&#8217;s <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/about/teams/\">WordPress.org translation team</a> can approve the change.</p>\n<h3>Tough Choices</h3>\n<p>We strive to make our plugin straightforward to use, while still being full of great features. We liked having a simple, centralized translation site and being able to quickly approve submitted translation changes. However, we also want to be an upstanding member of the WordPress community. This is the way that WP translations are moving, and we want to adapt alongside.</p>\n<p>Ultimately we decided to move the translations for The Events Calendar to the new set up at <a href=\"https://translate.wordpress.org/\">translate.wordpress.org</a>. We rolled out a new <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/\">knowledgebase article</a> to help guide users to the new location for TEC translations and (hopefully) prevent confusion over the two translation systems. This blog post will hopefully provide transparency and explanation for all the recent changes.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our translators who have helped us make our Events plugins available to a wider world of users. And thank you to the hard working folks at WordPress.org for their work to improve and expand our favorite open-source platform. We will continue our efforts to add value and compatibility to our plugins- and keep our users informed of our decisions along the way.</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/\">Lost in Translation</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:55:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/lost-in-translation/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:3;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"4.0 Release Candidate is now available for testing\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:81:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/4-0-release-candidate-is-now-available-for-testing/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/4-0-release-candidate-is-now-available-for-testing/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 18 Nov 2015 23:56:23 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Release Notes\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1027765\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:646:\"<p>We&#8217;ve been hard at work on getting The Events Calendar 4.0 in your hands.

There are even more votes each week on <a href=\"https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas\">feature requests in our UserVoice tracker</a>.</p>\n<p>If you are one of the countless folks who has provided feedback, we first of all want to say: Thank you!! We also want to use this article to explain what we do with your feedback, how we measure it, and how we act on it.</p>\n<p>There are two major categories of user feedback: bug reports and feature requests. We are going to dive further into both of these.</p>\n<h3 id=\"bug-reports\">Bug Reports</h3>\n<p>Once a bug is reported and confirmed, we then log it in our internal issue tracker. Each bug is given a priority based on how much it impacts the average site.</p>\n<p>However, the priority that we first give those bugs is subject to change; and that&#8217;s where you come in. Each comment we receive that describes a similar issue is noted and logged. We use these logs to reprioritize things as needed. The more users who chime in, the higher we prioritize something. Some comments detail use-cases and scenarios in which the bug might be more severe than usual, and we factor that in as well.</p>\n<h3 id=\"feature-requests\">Feature Requests</h3>\n<p>Quantifying feature requests is surprisingly difficult. We read every comment we get via email, forum threads, or UserVoice. But describing a feature you want is challenging to do clearly, particularly if you don&#8217;t know technical terms or are less experienced with the nuts and bolts of WordPress. Sometimes feature request can be difficult to interpret correctly.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, it&#8217;s hard for anyone (on either side of the conversation) to visualize all of the details that a certain feature entails. Often times small changes in those details can fundamentally alter a feature, determining its usefulness to the user. For that reason, our support staff takes the time to fully understand the issues, discuss them with the user, and then log the detailed comments in our feature tracker.</p>\n<p>We tally up our list of comment feature requests alongside the UserVoice vote count, and use this as our metric for measuring user demand. However, it does not always make sense to build the most requested features first. We also have to weigh this against how long the feature takes to build. You might have 500 users request one feature, yet in the time it takes to build it you can build 10 other feature requests which thousands have collectively requested. We have to deliberate and decide the best way to spend our development resources.</p>\n<h3 id=\"planning-releases\">Planning Releases Based on Feedback</h3>\n<p>Now that you know how we collect and quantify feedback, you are probably wondering how we act on it.</p>\n<p>We plan our releases many months in advance; sometimes nearly a year out. We leave a little room in every release, for as long as we can, to slip in last minute priorities that might arise. Bugs are a priority category of their own, and can easily fill up the space allotted. They are typically addressed within 1-2 releases. Sometimes they are addressed even sooner in a hotfix.</p>\n<p>New features, on the other hand, are often on our roadmap for many months before we have time to build them. We have often said we would love having infinite resources to plan, build, test, and polish all of these features immediately. But of course such a thing is not possible. Instead, we build a careful roadmap detailing when we will plan, develop, and test a new feature. This means that when we shift priorities on a feature request, such as moving it to an earlier release date, often times another feature request must be bumped back to a later date.</p>\n<p>The closer we get to a release, the harder it gets to shuffle around which new features get included. Often we have begun laying the groundwork for a feature 1-2 releases prior. So adding new features to an upcoming release becomes exceedingly problematic. This is why when someone requests a new feature and asks if it can be implemented next week to meet their client deadline, or perhaps requests that it be implemented in the next release, we almost always have to say: It&#8217;s simply not possible. But that doesn&#8217;t mean we aren&#8217;t listening. We&#8217;re always processing feedback and working it back into our feature planning.</p>\n<p>We hope this article helped shed some light on how much we value your input, and how it shapes the future of our plugins. From all of us at Modern Tribe: Thank you very much for using our plugins.

It&#8217;s one of the first recommendations we make for the thousands of WordPress users we support each day.</p>\n<p>Nothing sucks more than realizing you can&#8217;t hit &#8220;undo&#8221; after something unexpected happens to your site. Database backups are a smart way to ensure all of your posts, pages, and other content can be restored.</p>\n<p>There are three main database backup options available:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Server backups (provided by your host)</li>\n<li>WordPress backup tools (i.e. plugins)</li>\n<li>WordPress manual backup (DIY)</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Why Create a WordPress Backup Database?</h2>\n<p>Whether you’re <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/manual-updates/\">manually updating your plugins</a> or making other changes to your site, there’s always a chance something could go wrong. When things start going haywire and you wish you had a backup WordPress site to rewind to, you’ll want a recent backup copy to use to restore your site to the previous settings.</p>\n<p>A WordPress website is made up of two parts: the files and the database. Your WordPress database is the home where all of the content on your site lives, including all the posts, pages, and comments on your site. It also contains metadata, user information, and plugin settings. If your database becomes corrupted, you could stand to lose everything. Your site files, which also need to be backed up, give your web browser instructions on where &amp; how to display your content. While backing up your files is certainly important, in this post we’re going to focus on options for creating a backup of your database.</p>\n<h2>Backup, Backup, and then Backup Again</h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress codex</a> recommends that as a rule of thumb, you should keep at least three backups, and that you keep them in three different places or forms (such as stored on different hard drives, thumb drives, or cloud servers). This makes a lot of sense &#8211; if one copy becomes damaged and you have multiple backups, you&#8217;ll still be able to access an intact backup of you database.</p>\n<p>The recommended frequency for your WordPress database backups depends on how often updates are made to your site, both from a content standpoint (new posts, images, content, etc&#8230;) and a code perspective (plugin updates, CSS changes, etc…). In general, it’s better to err on the side of backing up more frequently. If you publish new content every hour, you may want to backup your database several times a day. If you only publish a few times per month, weekly backups are likely totally sufficient for your needs.</p>\n<h2>Three Methods to Create a WordPress Database Backup</h2>\n<p><strong>Server Backups:</strong> Many hosting companies provide some type of backup service for your site. The quality, frequency, and ability to access those backups vary, so it is important to check with your individual provider before assuming they have things handled for you.</p>\n<p><strong>WordPress backup tools: </strong>There are plenty of plugins available to automate the backup process. Both free and premium backup plugins are out there, with various features available to meet your requirements such as scheduled backups, security scans, and automatic restores.</p>\n<p><strong>DIY/Manual Backup:</strong> If you prefer to control how your backups are created, you can perform a manual backup of your WordPress database. You can use cPanel, phpMyAdmin, or MySQL code to manually create a WordPress backup database. The WordPress Codex has <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database\" target=\"_blank\">step-by-step backup instructions</a> outlining how to use these manual methods.</p>\n<h2>Prevent Disaster With Regular Database Backups</h2>\n<p>Backing up your WordPress database is one of the most important things you can do for your site. When something breaks, whether from human error, a plugin conflict, or a variety of other reasons, you want to be able to retrieve &amp; restore a working version.</p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t risk losing all of the hard work you&#8217;ve done to make your site what it is. Use one or more of the methods we just outlined above to make sure you&#8217;ve backed that thang up.</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/options-to-create-a-wordpress-backup-database/\">3 Options to Create a WordPress Backup Database</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:81:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/options-to-create-a-wordpress-backup-database/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:18:\"Happy Singles Day!\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:48:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/happy-singles-day/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/happy-singles-day/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:42:50 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:8:\"Articles\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:39:\"http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1023726\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:555:\"<p>Parks &#38; Rec may have been the first to feature “treat yo self” day, but Singles’ Day (光棍节) has them beat.

One such change is quite substantial: the splitting of our ticket-related features into a new and <strong>free</strong>, separate plugin altogether, called Event Tickets. </p>\n<p>Other changes might not seem <em>as</em> substantial, but still have us beaming with excitement at the thought of finally sharing them with our users. Here&#8217;s a look at some of our favorite such features:</p>\n<h4>Event Tickets</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RSVP</strong> – With the release of Event Tickets comes the long-awaited introduction of simple RSVP features for events. A simple ticket-like interface can be added to any event where event attendees can RSVP, reserving spots by entering a quantity to reserve and a name/email address.</li>\n<li><strong>Post–Type Agnostic Tickets</strong> – The new Event Tickets plugin is a standalone plugin. In other words, it does <em>not</em> require The Events Calendar to be installed. This means that, while tickets will auto-magically work with events <em>if</em> The Events Calendar <em>is</em> active on your site, you can also use a simple option in the wp-admin to add tickets to any other post type on your site.</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Event Tickets Plus</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>QR Codes on Tickets</strong> – We&#8217;ve been working on adding QR codes to our ticketing systems for a long time, and are beyond excited to <em>finally</em> publish these features! With Event Tickets Plus, ticket emails will include QR Codes for quick scanning at the door, making both ticket authentication <em>and</em> attendee/check-in management a breeze.</li>\n<li><strong>Pre-Licensed Users</strong> – If you currently have a valid license for any of our existing Ticketing add-ons (WooCommerce Tickets, EDD Tickets, etc.), then you will get a license of the same tier for Event Tickets Plus automatically, for free. Okay, I admit this isn&#8217;t technically a feature; but it&#8217;s still pretty cool, right?</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Events Calendar Pro</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New Widget: &#8220;This Week&#8221;</strong> – It&#8217;s a bit mean to tease about this without sharing a screenshot (maybe we&#8217;ll <a href=\"http://twitter.com/theeventscal\" target=\"_blank\">tweet</a> a teaser at some point), but the new &#8220;This Week&#8221; widget in Events Calendar Pro 4.0 provides a quick snapshot of the upcoming events in the current week. It&#8217;s a simple, useful, and easily customizable widget that compliments the existing set of widgets nicely.</li>\n<li><strong>Color Pickers in WordPress Customizer</strong> – Are you frustrated that it currently takes editing custom code just to change the color of some calendar elements, like event titles or the search bar? So are we, so we made sure that Events Calendar Pro 4.0 integrates with the WordPress Customizer for effortless, WYSIWYG color adjustments. Even if you don&#8217;t need to change your calendar colors, it&#8217;s so fun to play around with that you&#8217;ll probably check it out anyways!</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Filter Bar</h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Custom Field Filtering</strong> – with Filter Bar 4.0, you can add filters for any <a href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-additional-fields/\" target=\"_blank\">Events Calendar Pro &#8220;Additional Field&#8221;</a> on your site. This is another request we&#8217;ve been getting from users for ages, and should provide some much-need functionality to one of our most beloved add-ons.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When you keep in mind that the above features are just a <em>sampling</em> of everything coming in the 4.0 release, it&#8217;s easy to see why The Events Calendar 4.0 is something we&#8217;re so excited about here at Modern Tribe. Hopefully you&#8217;re excited too – stay tuned for the release, and follow this blog or <a href=\"http://twitter.com/theeventscal\" target=\"_blank\">@TheEventsCal on Twitter</a> for more sneak-peeks and updates!</p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com/some-favorite-features-in-the-upcoming-4-0-release/\">Some favorite features in the upcoming 4.0 release</a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://theeventscalendar.com\">The Events Calendar</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/some-favorite-features-in-the-upcoming-4-0-release/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}s:27:\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\";a:1:{s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:3:{s:4:\"href\";s:35:\"https://theeventscalendar.com/feed/\";s:3:\"rel\";s:4:\"self\";s:4:\"type\";s:19:\"application/rss+xml\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:44:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/\";a:2:{s:12:\"updatePeriod\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"hourly\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:15:\"updateFrequency\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"1\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";a:11:{s:6:\"server\";s:5:\"nginx\";s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Sat, 28 Nov 2015 17:49:08 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:34:\"application/rss+xml;

You can even embed <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/30/feature-plugin-merge-proposal-oembed/\">previews of posts</a> from other WordPress sites by pasting the URL on its own line.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There have been a lot of changes for developers to play with as well:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>REST API (phase 1) </strong>— The underlying infrastructure of the WordPress REST API <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/\">plugin</a> has been <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/21/wp-rest-api-merge-proposal/\">included in WordPress 4.4</a>. Plugin authors can take advantage of this by adding custom endpoints.</li>\n<li><strong>Term Metadata </strong>— Taxonomy term metadata is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/04/taxonomy-term-metadata-proposal/\">now included</a> in WordPress 4.4. If you&#8217;ve already been using a plugin to implement term metadata, you should read <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/22/preparing-your-plugins-and-your-client-sites-for-termmeta/\">this post</a> on how to prepare. Also, the underlying <code>WP_Term</code> class improves caching when working with terms.
