01Give the campaign one clear goal
Describe the people or organisations you want to reach, why the message matters to them and the action you hope they will take. A specific brief gives your team a practical basis for choosing content and reviewing a draft. A newsletter, announcement and promotion each need a different brief. Choose one main purpose, a suitable audience and a clear action, then check that the subject line reflects the content the reader will see.
02Prepare a message worth opening
Give the recipient a reason to continue reading. Explain the offer in plain language, connect it to the relevant context and make the next step easy to understand. AutoEmails can help prepare email content, while your team checks the facts, tone and suitability for the audience. Before scheduling, review the sender, links, formatting and recipient selection. Send a test for your own review and consider how the message reads on a small screen as well as a desktop.
03Review the result against the goal
After a campaign or journey is running, review its activity alongside the outcome you actually want, such as a conversation, an enquiry or a repeat purchase. Use that evidence to improve the audience and message; engagement alone does not establish business impact.
