Tip: Design email for maximum sharing

Tip:

For example, keep it short and snappy, also bearing in mind that an increasing percentage are reading using a smartphone. Plus remember email is the channel, not the content.

Try more single theme email campaigns, and ask – can they immediately grasp how they will benefit? Have a clear and compelling call to action. The more the recipient is engaged, the more social sharing will take place!

Tip: Email and social – provide the motive to share

Tip:

Who does the sharing, and why would they want to share? – self interest, altruism, looking for recognition, or to be part of a community. Provide something that will motivate them to share.

Consider giving them a direct incentive to share e.g. become a fan on facebook and receive a 10% discount etc

Tip: Add ‘Share with your Network’ links/icons into your email

Tip:

‘Share with your Network’ links in your email will make it easy for your recipients to share content, and your ESP should be able to report on who has shared and how many views the shared content has had on the social network in question e.g. facebook.

Explain what it means e.g. Share this email by tweeting a link to your followers, test placement within your email template, and remember to add the ‘Share with your Network’ links to your landing pages and microsite as well.
