Email today: findings and opportunities

In BtoB, email is the 1st Touchpoint. The volume of messages, the frequency, and the quality of attention given (1to1 exchange) make it the primary brand vector, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

And the quality of inter-personal exchanges with prospects or clients often makes the difference in a professional purchase.

1. Manage

Make email signatures a centralized media

The first thing to do is take back control of this space, to automatically manage and deploy messages and your brand image. If you don't know how, Sigilium can help you with the subject.

Don't expect miracles from manual actions by your users, because either they don't know how to do it, or they will update their signature as best they can. Or they will do it "later", so not at all.

Integrate dynamic signatures into your workflow: email systems + CRM.

How to get the best message and maximize engagement ?


About design

Prepare 1 clear message with a call to action button

If you want to engage your audience, you need to guide them (so they know where they are going). Creating a button with a verb is the best way to prompt action, beyond the value of the proposition. A symbol like an arrow also increases the clarity of the expected action.

Do not multiply proposals, as it may lead the audience to pass by. Instead, regularly change the messages or allow your users to switch between them.

About content

Work the message angle

Tone: affirmative vs empathetic Saying "my product is the best" (closed), doesn't have as much impact as "discover how..." (call to action, curiosity). The majority of internet searches are done in question form: "how to..." providing an answer increases engagement.

The value proposition. This can be of various kinds:

  • practical > being able to sign up for an event or solve a problem.

  • qualitative > access to relevant content (downloading a study).

  • inspiring > provide expert insight on a question.

Recurrency

Do not be afraid to repeat a message!

Repeating a message, or its exposure frequency, works in your favor to engage a conversation partner. Sales cycles are often long in B2B, and your conversation partner may not be mature on the subject you are presenting to them. Therefore, the frequency will allow for memorization and the presence of the message at a time when your conversation partner is available to address the topic.

Not all emails come from you! What may seem repetitive or too pushy is actually a good reminder among the various daily emails.

Harness this diversity of profiles! The variety of expertise within your company are as many assets and angles to promote your services and products.

If one of your developers – typically less in contact with the outside world – sends emails to their contacts, due to their professional expertise, it will be read with more attention than other emails.

You're wondering what an email signature is exactly? It's simply a block of text, images, and links that you place at the bottom of your emails. Basically, it's like a virtual professional business card that appears with every email sent!

Generally, it contains the sender's contact details, who signs the message, and thus confirms their identity. These typically include the name, position, company name, address, phone number, and email address. These details allow your contacts to quickly identify and reach out to you if needed.

☝️ But be aware, an email signature is much more than just contact information! It's a genuine communication and marketing tool.

With a well-thought-out signature, you can:

  • Enhance your brand image by including your logo and colors, similar to a well-crafted business card

  • Drive qualified traffic to your website or social media with just one click

  • Showcase your latest content (blog articles, white papers, webinars...) directly in the email inboxes of your clients and prospects

  • Promote special offers, enticing discounts, or can't-miss events

  • Facilitate interaction and engagement from your correspondents through simple actions, like scheduling appointments, inviting them to contact or follow you with ease

  • Share legal information, always in a professional manner


In short, the email signature offers you valuable space to convey key messages systematically and on a large scale. It's an opportunity to deliver targeted and relevant content in every email exchange. It's like automatically distributing a personalized business card along with a tailored message to each of your contacts! When used effectively, it becomes a powerful lever for enhancing your visibility, generating leads, and strengthening trust and relationships.
