Are daily emails still effective, or are fewer, value-packed emails the better strategy now?

5 replies
Lately, I've noticed a drop in open rates and engagement, even though my content hasn't changed much. I'm wondering if people are just overwhelmed now and craving fewer but more value-driven emails like 2 times a week with deeper insights, tips, or stories.

    value-packed emails are generally considered a more effective strategy than frequent, low-quality emails.

    You pukin', evrywan on yr list gonna FLEE.

    MS = Maws Opin.

    Frequency is kinda noplace here, first off.

    You eithah wannit ... or you don't.

    You eithah gaht it, or you ain't.

    Like Bro Soul Runsome said: "What happens when I'm like FORTY SEVEN???"

    My view?

    Forty seven what?

    Say WHEN, ima cummin' on ovah.

    (Or naht, if'n there an oithquake or sumthin'. Best I can offah here is I dun leapsy stuffs in emergencies before. No babies rescued, but also no babies killed by accident. As a natchrl klutz, gotta figure I ain't dowin' too bad. I would wish always to straddle the parametahs of fairness like a gymnast don't get her gusset twangoed up her tinglydanglies while she purrformin' her perfaicked 10.)

    Also, persnl development, easy money, an' instant immortality ALWAYS play way bettah warm or cold than no 'GET 25% PER CENT OFF YOUR NEXT CROCODILE MANICURE"

    ... less'n you gaht access to THAT list ...

    Youre not the only one who thinks thats a great observation. Nowadays, people are undoubtedly pickier about what they open. Daily emails can be effective but only if they are regularly entertaining or useful. However, switching to two high-impact emails per week might actually boost response rates.

    Right now, people seem to want more substance and less noise. A/B testing could be worthwhile to determine what appeals to your list the most.

    I personally think fewer and segmented email newsletter is more effective rather than daily emails. And I am speaking as an end user and as an email marketer.
    Daily Emails creates a kind of fatigue more so if they are mundane or generalist ones.

    So in our agency sales newsletter are always segmented as "offer" , promotional, retargeting, in cart etc.

    As an end user too , I think the idea is not to overwhelm the audience but create a subtle nudge.
