EP 24 | The Pulse on Why You Shouldn't Fear Email Unsubscribes

Welcome back to The Pulse on Human Design with Vickie Dickson! Today’s episode is all about email marketing, specifically addressing a common fear for entrepreneurs—unsubscribes. Vickie shares how you can reframe your thinking around unsubscribes and start seeing them as a positive part of refining your audience.

Key Takeaways:

• Unsubscribes Are a Gift: Rather than taking unsubscribes personally, see them as a way of narrowing your audience. People who aren’t a fit for your offers are making space for those who are.
• Quality Over Quantity: Having fewer but more engaged subscribers will yield better results than a large list of unengaged followers. It costs time and money to send emails, so sending them to those who aren’t interested can really add up.
• Engagement is Key: Focus on those who stay on your list and are engaged with your content. An engaged audience means higher open rates, click-through rates, and ultimately, better ROI on your email marketing efforts.

Fun Stats & Insights:

• The average business wastes 20-30% of their email marketing budget on disengaged subscribers.
• Segmented email campaigns see a 14% higher open rate and 101% higher click-through rate than non-segmented campaigns.
• Email marketing campaigns targeting engaged subscribers have an ROI of 4200%—$42 for every $1 spent!

Actionable Steps:

• Bless and Release People who Unsubscribe: They likely weren’t going to buy from you anyway, so let them go. Focus on nurturing the audience that stays.
• Personalize & Segment: Personalizing your emails and segmenting your list can greatly increase engagement and click-through rates. Consider sending targeted emails to ensure your content is landing with the right people.
• Engage Your Audience: Be consistent with sending emails and offer valuable content that resonates with your audience’s needs. Remember, people expect to be sold to, so don’t shy away from promoting your offers.
