										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><font color="black"><strong>Improving Email Copy and Response Rates by Incorporating the Six Universal Buying Motives. </strong></font></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10557" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Business-woman-celebrating-improved-email-response-rates-450x300.jpg" alt="Business woman celebrating improved email response rates" width="450" height="300" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Business-woman-celebrating-improved-email-response-rates-450x300.jpg 450w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Business-woman-celebrating-improved-email-response-rates-450x300-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" />I’ve been teaching email marketing to professionals for more than 15 years and have been an email marketer for over 20 years.   We’ve seen email marketing go through many trends over the years; email sending platforms have come and gone.  We’ve seen emphases on improving deliverability, building subscriber lists, generating personalized content, and now marketing automation.  Through all of the trends, one thing has remained constant though; the need to communicate well and to incentivize the customer to respond.  That requires good, if not great, copy.</p>
<p>However I feel copy is the one area marketers seem to compromise on the most in the “cram it out,” busy marketing calendar. It’s often left to a product manager to direct the copy, and the focus will be on product features…not necessarily on benefits. Then the marketing department slams it into an email template, and it’s gone.  With little pause to think about whether the copy really answered the prospect’s questions, or told them something in a way that would soothe their buying anxieties.</p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>Are Marketing Automation Templates Tempting Marketers to Go Too Fast?</strong></font></h2>
<p>To make the situation even worse, email marketing templates make it too easy to mindlessly copy and paste copy to fit the template.  The email marketer thinks they’ve done their job if they have the headline fit the banner just right, and there are just the right number of sentences and bullet points to fit the template copy area.  But did anyone stop to think if the headline made the prospect feel better about choosing your product over the competition? Or if the bullet points answered their need for time savings and convenience?  Probably not, because the emphasis is on the template and the schedule, not on the need to write copy that gives the prospect motivation to buy your product.</p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>Stop….And Think about What Your Recipient Needs to Know about Your Product</strong></font></h2>
<p>The best book I’ve read on advertising is the timeless tome, “<a href="https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/1351323/ogilvy-on-advertising/ogilvy-david/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ogilvy on Advertising</a>”, by David Ogilvy. In the book he says, “<em>The consumer isn’t a moron; she is your wife. You insult her intelligence if you assume that a mere slogan and a few vapid adjectives will persuade her to buy anything. She wants all the information you can give her.”  </em>And he was right.  You need to give a consumer a real reason to consider to buy your product and not the competition.  Mere slogans and soundbites won’t do it.</p>
<p>Ann Handley said in her book, “<a href="https://annhandley.com/everybodywrites/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everybody Writes</a>,” <em>“To me, the thing that&#8217;s most important in marketing today is the idea of empathy. I would even go so far as to call it pathological empathy. You’ve really got to focus relentlessly on the recipient.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Good writing requires us to have empathy for our audience, their situation, their needs, their goals. That means you have to meet people where they are, with an attitude of benevolence and largesse, to help them find answers to their problems. This starts with understanding the <em>Six Universal Buying Motives. </em>Then write customer-centric copy that addresses their problems.</p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>The <em>Six Universal Buying Motives</em></strong></font></h2>
<p>Listing product features may convey information, but it may not persuade the consumer to buy. Why?  The feature may not help them relate the product to their problem or fear. You need to do that for them by turning the feature into a benefit that fits into their motive for buying.</p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>People have six universal buying motives:</strong></font></h3>
<ol>
<li>Desire for gain (usually financial)</li>
<li>Fear of loss (again, usually financial)</li>
<li>Comfort and convenience</li>
<li>Security and protection</li>
<li>Pride of ownership</li>
<li>Satisfaction of emotion</li>
</ol>
<p>Every feature of every product or service you sell should be communicated to answer one of the six universal buying motives. And if it doesn’t, then you should reconsider the product or the feature.</p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>How does that translate to B2B products?</strong></font></h3>
<ol>
<li>Desire for gain (usually financial)<br />
=career advancement, better performance reviews</li>
<li>Fear of loss (again, usually financial)<br />
=job security, avoidance of unpleasant surprises</li>
<li>Comfort and convenience<br />
=less late hours, fewer angry users/bosses</li>
<li>Security and protection<br />
=systems work as they are supposed to do</li>
<li>Pride of ownership<br />
=taking credit for a new and better solution</li>
<li>Satisfaction of emotion<br />
=elegant systems that make the enterprise work better</li>
</ol>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>How does that translate to B2C products?</strong></font></h3>
<ol>
<li>Desire for gain (usually financial)<br />
=more money, financial security</li>
<li>Fear of loss (again, usually financial)<br />
=accidents &amp; disasters, health problems, job security</li>
<li>Comfort and convenience<br />
=quick delivery, easy assembly</li>
<li>Security and protection<br />
=safe travel, secure home</li>
<li>Pride of ownership<br />
=newest solution, fashionable, trendy</li>
<li>Satisfaction of emotion<br />
=family is happy with your choices/decisions</li>
</ol>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>How Much Affect Does More Effective Email Copy Have on Response Rates?</strong></font></h2>
<p>Using the six universal buying motives as your guide, take your list of features and relate them to a benefit that answers a buying motive.  That becomes the building blocks of the most persuasive and effective email copy possible.  You may wonder how much impact this approach may have on email response rates?  We have been hired to re-write many sets of nurture emails where we could test our re-written, buying-motive-optimized copy against older, control copy and clients have reported results ranging in 25% &#8211; 100% improvement in open and click-to-open (CTO) rates.  Why?  We answered the prospects’ most pressing fears and buying anxieties very quickly in the copy, and made them feel confident in the choice of our client’s product.</p>
<p>Let’s review a few examples of emails that were written with the buyer’s motives in mind.  The first two  are from the Beasley Direct and Online Marketing portfolio, and the last one I found searching Google for email examples and thought it was clever.</p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>Examples of Buying-Motive-Optimized Copy</strong></font></h2>
<p><strong>Heat Software:</strong> This email was sent to IT directors who are usually given limited budget and headcount, and yet have a lot of constituents at their company to keep happy.  So when the internet or computers go down, they need a fast way to resolve problems.  This email focuses the headline copy on the needs of the busy, overworked IT director by helping them see how Heat Software helps them get fast incident resolution, eliminate roadblocks, and clear their desk without adding headcount. The supporting bullets focus on lower cost, clearing backlogs, faster resolution and user satisfaction…all buying motives for the harried IT director who needs to solve problems fast and cost-effectively.<br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HEAT-Software-optimized-email-copy.jpg" alt="HEAT Software optimized email copy" width="677" height="839" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10564" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HEAT-Software-optimized-email-copy.jpg 677w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HEAT-Software-optimized-email-copy-242x300.jpg 242w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px" /><br />
<strong>Netcash:</strong> This email was sent to consumers who were profiled to be pre-approved via their credit score for a cash loan.  If they are in a situation to need a loan, they usually need it fast, with no hassle. The headline copy emphasizes that cash is instantly available. The body copy tells them how quick and easy it is to get the money. Copy in the sidebar emphasizes their status is APPROVED and the cash is available IMMEDIATELY, all satisfying the buying motives of a consumer who might be in need of a fast loan.<br />

<strong>JCrew:</strong>  I found this email sample searching on Google for email examples and I’m putting this email example in just for fun. No, people really don’t “need” candy bars. But they do want candy bars…and they’d rather have a full size than a half size.  This headline does a fun job of answering a human need for more value and does it in a fun way.  It also peaks the curiosity on what other treats might be waiting for them, because let’s face it, we like treats, not tricks.  I love the whole concept of this email and the way they communicate a sale in way that makes folks feel like they’ll get twice the value.<br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JCrew-optimized-email-copy.jpg" alt="JCrew optimized email copy" width="290" height="612" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10566" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JCrew-optimized-email-copy.jpg 290w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/JCrew-optimized-email-copy-142x300.jpg 142w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px" /><br />
All of these examples show copy that was thoughtfully written to communicate product features or concepts that presented value, and answered human buying motives at every moment throughout the email presentation.  The email showed empathy toward their needs and situations and brought the reader over to the product or company’s side, and inspired them to act because they were convinced the marketer had something of real value for them.  The reward for this thoughtful approach to email copywriting can be significant with increases in open and click-through rates of 25% to 100%.  So the next time you’re tempted to slap copy into the email template and call it a day,  take a step back and ask yourself:  Does my copy answer the universal buying motives of my audience? If it doesn’t, take an extra day to re-write the copy to answer your prospects’ questions and motives in your copy.  Your prospects will reward you with paying more attention to you with more opens, clicks, and conversions…isn’t that what email marketing is really all about?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><font color="black"><strong>Lists with a High Percentage of Bad Email Addresses are Unacceptable. </strong></font></h2>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>I’ve Come to a New Revelation. We Should Not Accept Bad Email Addresses from List Providers ANY MORE.</strong></font></h3>
<p>I’ve been researching and providing B2B and B2C lists to our clients campaigns for over 27 years. For B2B clients, I’ve used every data provider out there, including D&#038;B, Netprospex, Discover.org, Data.com, OneSource, Lake Group, Hoovers, you name it &mdash; and they all have one thing in common:  a high percentage (10-20%) of bad data, and even worse, bad email addresses. It’s as though the providers expect us to pay top dollar AND accept a certain percentage of bad email addresses as normal and acceptable. Yeah sure, they’ll replace the bad ones, but by the time you’ve figured out which are bad, the campaign may be long over and your email sending provider (ESP) is hot under the collar from your unacceptable email deliverability rate. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<figure><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Picture-of-man-placing-finger-on-map-of-world-with-email-symbols.jpg" alt="Picture of man placing finger of global map with emails being sent to world." width="450" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7031" srcset="https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Picture-of-man-placing-finger-on-map-of-world-with-email-symbols.jpg 450w, https://beasleydirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Picture-of-man-placing-finger-on-map-of-world-with-email-symbols-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><center><br />
Bad Email Addresses Affect Local, National &#038; Global Campaigns</center></figcaption></figure>
<p></p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>First of All, it’s Getting Harder to Fix the Bad Email Addresses Yourself</strong></font></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s become the practice of many marketers to go along with the bad data the providers supply and try to validate or “fix” it themselves by using some kind of a verification tool such as <a href="https://www.briteverify.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">BriteVerify</a>. However, the spam filters are catching on to these verification tools and learning to spoof them by giving false reports or throwing a higher percentage of emails into a catch all bucket, which you shouldn’t mail because they’re not really verified. So you’ve just paid a penny a name or more for validation data you increasingly cannot trust. As a result, it will increasingly bring your email sending domain reputation down by sending to bad email addresses.</p>
<h3><font color="black"><strong>Secondly, Improved Database Technology</strong></font></h3>
<p>Secondly, database technology has improved so much with AI and social media verification, that a list vendor literally has no excuse to have inaccurate contact data, let alone bad email data. If they have bad email data, they’re simply not very good at what they do, and they don’t deserve your business.</p>
<p>Lastly, don’t let them be lazy. Make them REALLY validate the data before they supply it to you. Ultimately, that means they have to be creative on their own dime and their own time to figure out if the email addresses are valid.</p>
<h2><font color="black"><strong>Finding the Best List Owners</strong></font></h2>
<p>I’ve known some list owners to send a mini survey out on some topic related to your campaign, to see which emails delivered (and which didn’t). This has an added bonus of giving you the response results to the survey. Others have very sophisticated email validation procedures that look at the data from 200+ data points. Bottom line, these list vendors work harder to provide you a good product, and they deserve your business more than the other guys.</p>
<p>You may ask who these mysterious data providers may be. I don’t make it a practice to endorse any vendors in my blog, because they may not offer everyone the same services that they offer me. I have negotiated with my vendors to go the extra mile, do the hard work, and to provide a good product the first time around. And that’s the key. You should negotiate and demand for this level of service from your vendor too.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the time has come for marketers to revolt and not accept bad email addresses from their B2B Data providers ANY MORE.</p>
