How To Make Automated Emails FUN
It’s no longer a secret that most of the emails you get are automated - triggered by an action you take somewhere on someones website.
But as someone who cares about marketing, that’s no excuse to resort to default corporate-babble.
Don’t write boring email copy!
I really liked this example from a support ticket I submitted a few minutes ago:
As they acknowledged, automated emails are necessary when it comes to customer support. They even gave the bot a name!
So if you must send automated emails, then why not make those emails enjoyable to receive?
Worst case: it never gets read and ends up in spam like 99% of confirmation emails.
Best case: the person receiving the email feels special, has a laugh, or decides to write back with feedback (the best engagement indicator).
Don’t waste any opportunity to entertain or educate your customers!
