If you continually over promise and underdeliver, you will quickly lose subscribers to your audience. This can cause you to potentially lose customers. Stay consistent. Be sure to create a content schedule that keeps your audience engaged.
Step Three: Check Your Analytics
In most cases, any email service provider you utilize will provide a way for you to see the engagement of your audience. The most important statistics you need to pay attention to are the open rates, click rates and those that have opted out of your audience list. This will help you realize what kind of emails you are sending have gained the most traction and interest in your content.

If you have never considered email marketing, it is time to get in the game. If you remain attentive to your analytics and statistics, you will begin to see your customer engagement grow. Remember that your voice is important! You want to stand out amongst everyone else that is trying to develop a larger audience.
