In this episode of The Developers Speak, Kristina shares 3 tips that will increase your overall email performance rate.
Best practices for Salesforce Marketing Cloud email campaigns
Hi, I'm Kristina, a Salesforce Marketing Cloud Consultant here at Digital Mass. Along the way, I've learned a thing or two about email best practices that will keep things running smoothly. The first thing that you can do is utilize Salesforce Marketing Cloud content detective within Email Studio. Content Detective scans your subject line, preheader, and the content of your email for spam. By looking for spam and alerting you of it, the tool can basically tell you if the email has a higher chance of going to the spam folder rather than the inbox.
Use content detective and fill in the preheader to increase email performance
Another thing to remember before sending out an email campaign in Salesforce Marketing Cloud is to not leave the pre-header empty. You should always fill in your pre-header because it's been shown to increase email open rates. Emojis are being more utilized in preheaders lately because they help the email stand out in the inbox, especially on mobile devices.
Create mobile and dark mode-friendly email designs
The third thing to keep in mind is to designs your emails to be mobile and dark mode friendly. A mobile and dark mode-friendly design will make sure that your email is rendered correctly within any email client. If you take these three things into account, your next Salesforce marketing cloud email campaign will have a higher overall performance rate. Thanks for watching and see you next time.
