News flash: Emails only work when people read them.
Okay, maybe this is not news. But it’s true nonetheless—no matter how artfully worded, carefully crafted, or superlatively phrased your company’s emails are, they need to be read. If they aren’t, it’s a dead loss in terms of time and money spent.
Unfortunately, getting people to open emails is not as easy as getting them to sign up for your email list. I’ve certainly signed up. Offer me a free e-book, a funny video, a must-read industry report, or some other piece of online bait, and I’ll happily supply an email address. If you’re a company I like and do business with, I’ll even give you an email address I actually use (as opposed to the one I keep only for spammy must-sign-up deals).
Your customers probably want to stay in touch with you. Therefore, we can assume that they’ve given you their correct email addresses and not just their spam addresses. How can you attract and keep their attention without flooding their inboxes?

So let’s break down these five factors one by one.
