Apart from these, you can do few more things to build up trust between you and your subscribers in order to reduce unsubscription and SPAM complain rate.
 

 1. Show your information clearly in eDM 


Let your subscribers know who you are, for instance, your company’s address; contact; and most importantly, social media accounts. Let your subscribers contact you without difficulties. More communication channels provide your customers with much confidence. Your customers can also interact with you effectively also.
 

 2. Set clear expectation towards eDM 


The first step would be to explain clearly what eDM would be sent to email users. This can be done by including eDM content introduction on subscription form. Then, restating the eDM content on the welcome letter or double opt-in letter can also remind readers what they will receive from you.
 

 3. Send right messages to right audience 


This is the most important step to grow customers’ loyalty as well as drive ROI from email marketing. Email is not just a promotional tool for blasting information in a unidirectional way. On the contrary, email is a two-way communication channel which builds up relationship between you and your customers. eDM sent must be relevant to the readers and engaging enough to captivate readers. Otherwise, the irrelevant eDM sent will not only waste your marketing team’s effort, but will also affect your brand. So don’t forget to capture your audience’s preference before sending eDM.
