Why timing is important…
If you are sending creative content manually, you are doing it wrong! Why? Timing is extremely important throughout the email newsletter process. The content within your newsletters you are creating has the potential to be outdated by the time you hit send and they are delivered. If this is news or content your audience have already read, it will have a negative impact on your company even though, you had the best intentions. This could potentially lose the interest and demand from your audience – negatively impacting your engagement levels and unsubscribe rates.
How do we fix this?
Newsletters need to be distributed as soon as the content is gathered and curated; whilst still current and relevant. This will allow your audience to stay interested and loyal to your brand. The engagement for the newsletter is highly important for your company as they are one of the most powerful digital marketing tools available to market your business. Artificial Intelligence is the new way to curate and distribute newsletters as soon as the news goes live.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by humans or animals. Therefore, meaning your email feed would be accumulated with brand new articles daily, keeping the stories fresh and updated, for your subscribers.
