Taking your unsubscribe to the next level

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

At Campaign Nucleus, we make it a point to never force industry-recommendations on to you while creating and sending your emails. We previously discussed the legal importance of including an unsubscribe link in every email we send. Since then, we have improved our system and now offer an optional one-click unsubscribe feature that you may choose to implement.

I’m sure you are wondering: What is the difference between this feature and the unsubscribe link we already use?

Well… currently, when a recipient clicks the unsubscribe link, they are redirected to a page where they may enter their email and they will be immediately unsubscribed. In the case of a one-click unsubscribe, a user may click the link and will be immediately unsubscribed without being redirected to another page to do so.

While this is not an industry standard or policy, it is highly recommended. This is dominantly because it is a simpler route of unsubscribing which ensures people who intended to be unsubscribed do so properly. In some cases of a double-opted unsubscribe link, some users may accidentally remain subscribed, and this can lead to an increase in user complaints which can affect your domain and IP reputation.

If you walked up to a stranger on the street and asked them for $20, odds are they’re going to look at you like you're crazy and walk away. I cannot blame them; I’d do the same. Now… what if, instead, you engaged them in conversation, swapped contact information, developed a friendship over the course of many weeks, and THEN asked for $20? You might have a better shot.

Well, in some ways, email marketing is a lot similar. People are much more likely to support a cause that they are familiar with and trust. So, with that in mind, it might be time to consider how we can be building trust with our subscribers so that we see the most possible success with our emails.

This means that we need to provide content that makes the recipient feel valued as opposed to just another donor. Before we ask for money and support, we need to show the subscriber how much they matter to us; that we do not just care about their wallets.

So what kind of content can we send out that would align with this goal of building trust? I have a few ideas…

Newsletters and informational content

• These emails can be used to inform your recipients on your mission and the news you find most important. Subscribers will be able to see how their values align with your own and, in turn, may acquire more support for your cause.

Feedback

• Do not be afraid to ask your subscribers about their opinions. Whether you need advice on how to go about things or you’d like to know what you can do better in the future, your recipients should be the first people you ask. Their opinions matter most!

Prospecting

• Sometimes the easiest way we can appeal to our subscribers is to ask them what they care to hear about. Our Nucleus CRM allows us to quickly tag our recipients so we can be ensuring we are reaching out to them with their interests in mind.

These are just a few types of emails we can be sending to our subscribers to ensure that we are building trust before forcing asks down their throat. I think you’ll all find that embedding a little love and care into all of our emails will always pay off in the long run.
