Here are 3 ways to reduce unsubscribe rates with Vtiger:<\/p>\n<h2>Be consistent with posting frequency<\/h2>\n<p>Determining an appropriate email send frequency is a huge challenge to marketers. While over emailing annoys subscribers and drives them to hit the unsubscribe link, under emailing fails to sufficiently educate customers &#8211; resulting in lost opportunities. The simplest way to determine how often your subscribers want to receive your email is by asking them to subscribe to your daily, weekly, or monthly mailing lists via a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtiger.com\/features\/webforms\/\">signup form<\/a> (Yet, only <a href=\"http:\/\/www.experian.com\/assets\/marketing-services\/white-papers\/ccm-email-study-2013.pdf\">30% of marketers<\/a> do this) Based on the subscriber\u2019s mailing frequency preferences <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtiger.com\/docs\/marketing-list\">create appropriate emailing lists<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtiger.com\/features\/email-marketing\/\">schedule email campaigns<\/a> from Vtiger. After a campaign has been sent, analyze the number of opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes with Vtiger to provide an option increase or cut down the number of emails sent to the subscribers.<\/p>\n<h2>Segment email list to improve relevance<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 2px ridge silver;\" src=\"http:\/\/sc.vtiger.net\/screenshots\/Screenshot-at-10-23-04.png\" alt=\"Email_list_segmentation_results\" width=\"539\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Email recipients engage with your emails when the content is relevant to them. Vtiger lets you segment subscribers into lists by filtering on any information in their CRM records, then use those lists to send more targeted email campaigns that drive more opens, have higher click through rates, and lower unsubscribe rates. Create intelligent segmented email list based on geography, previous purchases, date of signing up for a service, subscriber\u2019s behaviour, and many other criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Mailchimp <a href=\"http:\/\/mailchimp.com\/resources\/research\/effects-of-list-segmentation-on-email-marketing-stats\/\">notes<\/a> that segmented email campaigns have 7.41% of lower Unsubscribe rate when compared to non segmented email campaigns.<\/p>\n<h2>Personalize beyond the name<\/h2>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/econsultancy.com\/reports\/quarterly-digital-intelligence-briefing-why-marketing-should-be-personal\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">report on personalized marketing by econsultancy<\/a> notes that only 5% of companies have adopted email and cross channel personalization strategies that goes beyond using just the receiver&#8217;s name. Vtiger let\u2019s you take email personalization to the next level by using information gathered through web forms and engagement history recorded in the CRM. Use this data to send out personalized emails. For instance, when you are sending emails to customers located at different time zones, avoid late night emails by scheduling emails to be dispatched at the preferred time. Set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtiger.com\/features\/email-marketing\/\">automated behavioural emails<\/a> that trigger when the email recipient clicks on a link or downloads an attachment to provide more information on what the email recipient is interested in and engage them.<\/p>\n<p>We hope these 3 tips help you lower your email unsubscribe rate.
