Declutter Your Email List Today

Put quite simply, an outdated email list is deadweight. While emailing itself can be a very fruitful marketing strategy, hard bounces and misspelled emails detract from the efforts you put forth in this area. Regularly cleaning your email list can help get your business back on track and your messages reaching the intended audience.

Why Cluttered Email Lists are a Problem
Much like a pile of clothes on the floor or a leaning stack of unfiled paperwork, an outdated email list can work fine for a period of time without causing any trouble. But soon you begin to see the negative impact it has on your business. Like tripping over cluttered piles and missing bill payments, a cluttered email list can begin to cost you more valuable time and money than it should. What you need is a good purging session of your email contacts.

Purging Your Email List
If you find that your email list is no longer useful, follow these steps to clear the clutter and start fresh once again:

  • Eliminate the obvious – Scan your email address list for obvious fake or misspelled emails and eliminate those immediately. The only purpose they serve is skewing your performance rates.
  • Work on reducing hard bounces – Those dreaded addressees that never open their email can ruin your credibility. There are many simple software tools you can use to clear up these hard bounces easily.
  • Send out reengagement emails – Before throwing out all the valid addresses on hand consider sending them a reengagement email. They may have forgotten what your brand offers and now can be a great opportunity for a reintroduction.

Segmenting Your Email Addresses
When clearing your email list, you also want to take time to segment the addresses. Most email marketing services will automatically do this for you. Partitioning by the amount of engagement is a great way to send more targeted emails to your customers.

    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
