If you need any convincing at all here are the benefits of the Nouri.sh Basic subscription on offer:

1) Up to 10,000 emails per month: You choose how to use this allowance and the team at Nouri.sh will happily advise what is best for your and your goals. This could range from sending 1 newsletter a month to 10,000 subscribers, through to sending 4 emails a month to 2,500 subscribers.

2) Unlimited number of campaigns: You have the ability to create dynamic campaigns. By categorizing or tagging the posts within your blog, only relevant content is sent out in each campaign. High relevancy means a higher readership and lower unsubscribe rate.

3) Unlimited number of subscribers: You can upload as many subscribers as you want to your account. Simply upload your database when creating your account, and keep building your subscriber base one email at a time.

4) Custom templates: With custom templates you can really make the newsletter your own. Choose from our pre-made templates that suits your brand and your message or upload a custom template matching the look and feel of your blog/ website for eye-catching campaigns.

5) Track your progress: Track the success of your campaigns with Google analytics. Use these stats to influence future decisions and ensure you are driving relevant content to users.

6) Multiple RSS feeds: You can create automated email newsletters and include multiple RSS feeds in a single newsletter.

7) Automatic scheduling: Scheduling is an important aspect of email marketing. A newsletter which is scheduled correctly gets a higher open rate and click through rate. Nouri.sh provides automatic scheduling options for your newsletters so that you can schedule them on a specific date and time. Sending out is easy with no action required from your side.

8) Personalized support: The Nouri.sh team are on hand to ensure you make the most out of the service. The more we know about your needs, the more we can tailor Nouri.sh to suit you. We can help you grow your subscriber base, improve your campaigns and are open to users suggestions for new features.

We look forward to giving you your present! Good luck!!

The key to a great eNewsletter is engaging your audience, this however is easier said than done. People on average receive 40 emails a day, so it is hard to make your email stand out from the crowd without looking spammy.

Here are 3 great tips for nailing your email marketing campaign.

1, DO split testing

You are trying to please your audience, so work out what they like. Split testing is a great way to learn what is received well, and learn from what isn’t. Instead of guesswork, you can actually measure the difference and make informed, data-backed decisions.

2, Think carefully about the subject line

The ‘preheader’ is the first 35(ish) characters that will be displayed in most email browsers. Use this valuable space wisely. Although a lot of research has been done about the length of the subject line, there really isn’t a right answer but here is how the land generally lies. Use a subject line that is under 50 characters and this will drive awareness of your brand, and is likely to get a good open rate. Using a longer subject line will probably get a lower open rate, but a higher click through rate as those who have read the whole title only click if the content genuinely interests them.

3, Distribute creative content

A well presented, attractive email works wonders but without the content to back up its good looks a reader will soon stray. Think of ways of engaging your reader, being controversial, edgy and taking a different view on an otherwise generic topic are all good ways to do this. Encouraging commenting and social media sharing are also a must.
