Why email still works
Social media reach rises and falls with each platform's rules. An email list stays yours. It suits anything a customer may want to keep: an invoice, an offer, a price list, a course schedule or a monthly update.
Build a list of people who asked
Send only to people who gave you their address and expect to hear from you. Bought lists damage your sender reputation and land you in spam.
- Add a sign-up form to your website and your Facebook Page.
- Ask at the counter or at checkout, and say what you will send.
- Offer something useful in return: a discount, a guide or early access.
- Make unsubscribing easy. A smaller list of willing readers beats a large one that ignores you.
Write emails people open
- Subject line: say what is inside in about 40 characters. "Dashain offer: 20% off until Friday" beats "Newsletter #12".
- First line: most phones show it beside the subject, so make it count.
- One message, one action: a single clear button works better than five links.
- Write for a phone: short paragraphs, large text, a button big enough to tap.
- Use Nepali, English or both, whichever your customers use with you.
What to send
- A welcome email as soon as someone signs up.
- Festival offers for Dashain, Tihar and New Year.
- New products, stock arrivals or course dates.
- Reminders: renewals, appointments, fees due.
- A short monthly update that is useful, not only sales.
Measure and improve
Watch three numbers for every campaign: how many were delivered, how many opened and how many clicked. If opens are low, work on the subject line. If opens are fine but clicks are low, the offer or the button needs work. Change one thing at a time so you know what made the difference.
