A call to action!

No, we’re not trying to incite a revolution, but maybe it’s time to look at your email designs a bit differently. You have your database of email addresses ranging from brand-loyal clients to once-off visitors. Your email can do so much more than just remind these people you’re still in business.

By adding a call to action: “Click here to visit our website”, “Book now!”, “Read more”, “Like us on facebook”, “Get a quote!”, “See more specials now!”, “Enter our competition here”, “Contact us today”...you can make a huge difference to your campaigns.

Ok, you get the idea. The point is; your email can engage people to do more than just look at it. It can drive website traffic, lead to more sales, link to additional information and entice your email recipients to interact with you, your brand, your company and take better notice of your products or service.

 
Next time you design your email, put a call to action on your design. Place it right at the top so it’s one of the first things the reader sees, then look at the report and let us know if the ‘new’ approach resulted in a better reaction than your previous emails.  
 
 
We read your emails

A message from your friendly OUTBOXED™ account managers:

We would like to assure you that we will ALWAYS reply to your emails within a maximum of 2 hours of receipt thereof, even if it is just to confirm that we’ve received your email. If you’ve not received a reply from us within this timeframe, especially when it involves a new template design or any other urgent matter, please give us a call on 0105906240 to confirm that we’ve received your email.

The most likely reasons for not receiving your emails are:
  • File attachments could be too large -  if your email exceeds 5MB it will most likely not deliver. Please send large images in individual emails to avoid non-delivery or upload it to DROPBOX/GOOGLE DRIVE etc and send the download link to us in your email.
  • Using expired email addresses - @certech.co.za or @rmbs.co.za. All our email addresses have been changed to @outboxed.co.za. If you’re not sure whom to email, please call 0105906240.
