Learn to write effective email newsletters, marketing emails
American professionals receive an average of 121 emails a day. And that’s per inbox. Now multiply that by the several personal email accounts people tend to have in addition to their primary work account.

No wonder most of those emails aren’t getting opened. In fact, an average of 276 emails sit unread in inboxes at any given time. That’s a 300% increase in just four years.
“The clickthrough rate on our email newsletter increased by 400% after I applied Ann’s suggestions for writing online headlines.”
— Jamie Porter, industry communications content editor, Travel Oregon

Agenda
Learn to write successful emails that get opened, read, clicked and shared in this email marketing Master Class. In this email marketing training, you’ll learn advanced email marketing-writing techniques that help you:
- Address the Envelope. Recipients look at four elements — not just the subject line — to decide whether to open or delete. Are you making the most of each of these top email marketing tools?
- Create an Email That Gets Read. Master a structure that boosts readership, understanding, engagement and more.
- Cut Through the Clutter in Email. Recipients spend, on average, 51 seconds reading e-zines and 11 seconds reading email marketing blasts. Now what?
- Put Your Message Where Recipients Look. Only 19% of people thoroughly read emails. How do you get the word out to nonreaders?
- Live Editing Sessions. The course includes feedback from your colleagues and Ann in live coaching sessions.
(Yes, these marketing skills will help you with your landing pages and other online marketing efforts as well as your email marketing campaigns.)
