BFCM Email Marketing Strategy: Keep It Simple, Focus on the Offer
BFCM doesn’t have to be complicated.
Hey there,
Quick question: Did you panic the last time you saw someone unsubscribe from your email list?
If you're nodding yes, this email is specifically for you. I'm about to challenge everything you think you know about unsubscribe rates (and why they might actually be HELPING your business).
Unsubscribes are like a natural cleanse for your email list. They're not a sign of failure - they're a sign of optimization.
Let me break this down:
Why Unsubscribes Are Actually Good:
They self-qualify your audience
The people who unsubscribe weren't going to buy anyway
You're left with subscribers who actually want to hear from you
Your engagement metrics naturally improve
They save you money
Every unengaged subscriber costs you in email platform fees
Lower list numbers = lower monthly costs
Better ROI on your email marketing spend
They improve deliverability
Clean lists = better inbox placement
Higher engagement rates
More emails actually reaching interested buyers
Here's what ACTUALLY matters:
Revenue per email
Click-through rates from engaged subscribers
Conversion rates from opens to sales
Quick Story:
One of our clients was terrified of their 1% unsubscribe rate. After we helped them focus on engaging their true fans instead, their revenue per email shot up 3X - with a smaller but more targeted list.
If you're not getting unsubscribes, you're probably playing it too safe with your content. Bold statements and strong positions might turn some people off - but they'll make your true fans love you even more.
Stop obsessing over unsubscribe rates. Start focusing on serving your engaged subscribers better. That's where the real money is.
