Meridian Delta have been in email
marketing since 2002 - we were one
of the first marketing companies to
make a serious move into this area.
We trialled our original service
among customers for 6 months to make
it absolutely ready for market and
we've offered it continuously ever
since.
Email marketing requires a different
set of disciplines to other forms of
advertising design and you'll get
all of our years' experience in
getting it right for you with our
in-house team of designers, copy
writers and campaign planners.
So, what's important in getting your
email design exactly right?
First, it's the headline. Think
about when you receive an email -
you probably don't see all of it.
You'll probably be able to gleen
from your initial glance what the
email is about and whether it's
worth your time spending even more
time reading it.
The top of the email is about doing
something, saying something and
showing something that elicits a
positive and interested emotional
response in the recipient.
Email marketing allows you to use
colour - we'll work with you to
choose the best and most compelling
images to use on the top of the
email. The images used are all part
of the two- to three-seconds we have
to grab someone's interest.
Studies have shown that recipients
don't generally spend much longer
than 10 seconds with an email before
they decide what to do with it, if
anything. Following the headline and
images are punchy copy telling the
recipient a story together with a
contact method so they can get in
touch with you.
Traditionally, unless your design
(for whatever reason) turns out to
be particularly complex or require a
lot of copy support to try to
condense your message down to obey
the 3-second headline, 7-second body
rule, we can turn your first email
draft around within 4 working hours.
So, if you've got everything we need
to start over to us by 10 in the
morning, most times we can have the
first draft ready for you by about
2pm the same day.
We'll present your drafts to you on
your own client area behind the
Meridian Delta website - we'll send
you an email with instructions on
how to get there and how to bookmark
it for easy and quick access. With a
client area, all your drafts are
saved so you can see how the email
changes from first draft to the
final and finished product.
Once you've signed it off, we'll
then send it to you as an email to
your email address so you can see
how it looks when your recipients
open it. From there, we can make any
final tweaks that need to be made.
The last stage is then to create a
text-only version of it for use with
the Meridian Delta Email Sender.
Once you've had both versions of
your email delivered (the HTML
graphical version and plain-text
version) you'll then receive a call
from our technical team (Ben,
Michael and Victoria).
With your free email design worth
£99, you also get free of charge the
Meridian Delta Email Sender which
allows you to send off email
campaigns from your own PC and
broadband connection to the contacts
you'll receive as part of your deal
with us.
Better still, you can use the
Meridian Delta Email Sender on any
existing email data you have - this
gives you a real opportunity to
contact your customers to let them
know of your exciting new offers.
