Improving HoR - Day 19 - Newsletter
HouseOfRave has thousands of registered users on the mailing list and yet I've never sent out a newsletter or mass mailing with new products, news yadda yadda. It seems I'm missing out on a decently large opportunity here (well, I sent a ghetto one before which was a total disaster).
I'll be using Vertical Response to send out this upcoming newsletter as I've had some experience with it before. Today I designed, wrote and formatted the pictures for the upcoming newsletter.
I'm actually waiting to send this email blast for a little while, because coming up on May 22, 2008 Vertical Response is having a free workshop @ the Driskill in Austin which will teach a bunch of tips, tricks and recommendations for email marketing. I'll be going if anyone here in Austin wants to join me for thefree food workshop.
Anyhow, currently this is what I've come up with for the Newsletter:
I'm sure the upcoming workshop will have a bunch of recommendations on what works and what doesn't. I've heard little tips like giving away a 15% of coupon in the email is good, but it never works good as offering free shipping....little things like that can make or break a campaign (so I hear).
I'll be sending this initial test email to 4,000 registered customers, and it's crazy to think of that percentage wise.

- If only 2% order something, that's 80 extra orders.
- If only 1% order something, that's 40 extra orders.
- If only .5% order something, that's 20 extra orders.
I'm wondering if that's just wishful thinking, or if this email marketing stuff really works that well. Anyone here had any success with it?

Maybe stack a graph of last year April/may against one of this year (as to be comparable).
You can delete all the numbers, I would be interested in a general trend.
Pageviews / orders / profits come to mind.

It is a great way to inform the customers of a changed / seasonal menu.
Done tastefully, it certainly brings in repeat customers.

Good Luck!
