Small business owners often wear many hats when running their business. From handling customer needs to paying bills, these important duties are often left to the owner out of necessity. As the business grows and the ability to hire employees becomes possible, tasks like these become the responsibility of others, leaving the business owner to handle other revenue-generating tasks.

One task often left to the business owner is finding new customers. Unless the business is at a level where hiring a sales force is possible, often it is up to the owner to find ways to generate new business. Depending on the type of business you’re in will drive the type of marketing efforts you’ll enlist.

How can you use your email marketing campaigns to generate leads? Keep your messaging simple and get to the point quickly! Here are a few tips to remember when running an email campaign for your small business:

  • Create engaging and compelling subject lines. After all, this is the first piece of content your potential customer will see when they receive your message. Make the subject line captivating and interesting enough to get them to open up the email.
  • Keep the landing pages consistent with the branding of the email. This includes the design as well as the content.
  • Segment your lists by audience; in other words, categorize your list by priority and importance, and tailor your email message to your audience.
