Email Traffic Too Low?
If you’re struggling to get traffic from your emails, the first question I’m going to ask is… ARE YOU SENDING THEM?
It sounds obvious, but it’s one of the most common reasons businesses see low results. Consistency is everything. If you’re only sending the odd email here and there, you’ll never build the trust, rhythm, and recognition that gets subscribers opening and clicking.
Of course, sending emails is only half the story. If your open rate is sitting below 15%, that’s a sign your subject lines are falling flat, your timing is off, or your audience is disengaged. The good news? There are proven ways to turn it around.
Commit to Consistency
Start by making a plan you can stick to, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Frequency isn’t about blasting inboxes, it’s about building habits. When subscribers see your name regularly, they’re far more likely to click.
Rethink Your Subject Lines
Your subject line is your hook. If it doesn’t grab attention, nothing else matters. Use curiosity or benefits to spark interest.
- Keep it short, 6–8 words is ideal.
- Test different styles and track what wins.
Review Your “From” Name
Subscribers open emails from people they know and trust. Make sure your sender name is clear, consistent, and ideally, has a human touch (e.g., Rosie at MyAgency).
Refresh Your Sending Strategy
Timing plays a huge role. Experiment with sending on different days or times to see when your audience is most responsive. And avoid overwhelming your list, quality beats quantity.
Track, Test, Improve
Document every change you make—whether it’s subject lines, send times, or audience segments. That way you’ll know what works, what doesn’t, and how to keep building momentum.
Sending emails consistently, with strong subject lines and a healthy list, is how you climb out of the “under 15%” zone. Remember, great emails aren’t just about clever words, they’re about timing, tone, and trust. Ready to turn your email results around?
