Broadcast emails are a key part of every marketing strategy.
They’re the emails that are most often sent to your main list and are either promoting something or keeping your relationship with a subscriber.
For example, a broadcast email is an email that a flight company sends to its subscribers talking about flight deals they’re running right now (a promotional email). Or, it’s a weekly email newsletter that a business sends to its subscribers, like we do with DM Insider (a relational email).
If your email can check off one of the below, then it’s a broadcast email:
- It was manually sent
- It was sent to your “Main List” of email subscribers
- It was sent to subscribers NOT in an automated follow-up campaign
- It’s time sensitive
And, businesses send a lot of them. These emails are incredibly important to our marketing strategies because they keep our subscribers up-to-date on what’s going on with our business and most importantly, our products.
If you’re having trouble putting together broadcast emails or need more clarification on what they are, here are 9 examples to show you what broadcast emails are all about.
