The Science of Email Success: Secrets to Higher Open and Conversion Rates
Email marketing is often underestimated, yet it remains one of the most powerful tools for businesses to engage with their audience. Research shows that for every $1 spent on email marketing, an average return of $42 is expected. However, many professionals misunderstand what email can truly accomplish and fail to harness its full potential.
So, how do you write emails that not only get opened but also drive meaningful action?
This episode of Untamed Ethos dives deep into the art of email marketing with host Dr. Joshua I. Wilson and guest Donnie Bryant, a financial copywriter and marketing consultant. Together, they unpack the secrets of crafting emails that spark attention, evoke emotion, and guide readers toward taking action.
