Email Marketing Terminology You Really Need to Know

When you start the process of email marketing and trying to build your own list of subscribers then you have to get to grips with the terminology.

Check out the SIX things you really need to know about and understand in order to have a successful email marketing campaign.

Email List: An email list is simply a collection of email addresses. Most marketers will also collect the person's first name with the email address so that the email can be personalised through automation software. ie. Instead of just saying “Hi”, you can say “Hi, Tom” in the emails. It's also possible to collect information such as location or phone numbers so you can further segment your list and market to them based on certain criteria.

Opt-In Form/Squeeze Page: An opt-in form or squeeze page is an online form where visitors to your website or blog fill in their contact information to join your email list. With services like Aweber, that information is automatically added to your email list with no action on your part – automation is great!

Subscriber: Someone who has joined your email list, typically by filling out an opt-in form. They are now part of your “list,” and you can contact them via email with offers, information, updates, and more. 

Email Service Provider (ESP): A company that provides the email software you can use to send out emails. There are a few good ones you can use including AWeber, GetResponse and MailChimp.

Autoresponder: A list of email messages that goes out in sequence, automatically. For autoresponders, it doesn't matter how many people sign up to your list or when they sign up. They'll get message #1 automatically, then message #2 a set time later, message #3 a set time later again, etc. It's a great way to automate parts of your business.

Broadcast: A broadcast email goes out at a specific date and time. It's different from an autoresponder as it's a one-time deal. Everyone on your list receives this broadcast message at the same time, regardless of when they joined your list. These are often used for sales notifications, special offers, time-sensitive announcements, and the like. 

Like any specialty, email marketing has its own vocabulary. Knowing the basic terms will help you understand what people are talking about.

To Your Success!
