Email marketing engagement tip #1: Establishing loyalty rewards – Some companies are rewarding email recipients who open emails and click certain links with discounts or free content.

Email marketing engagement tip #2: Addressing community concerns – Facilitating relationships around your community is one way to stay relevant. Some organizations focus on cause marketing, where a specific issue that affects a community is supported. Aligning with the ideals of your audience can help forge real relationships.

Email marketing engagement tip #3: Don’t neglect mobile – email and social media are two activities that mobile users engage with often. Connecting the two can maximize your efforts.
