In this guide, we’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of building a great email campaign, and share tips to help you get the best results in 2025.

‍

Step 1: Define your goal

Before jumping into your campaign, ask: what do I want this email to achieve?

Here are a few common goals:

• Share a new blog post or newsletter
• Promote a product or limited-time offer
• Drive traffic to a landing page
• Nurture subscribers with helpful content
• Announce a launch, update, or event

Knowing your goal helps you shape the email content, choose your audience, and define your call-to-action.

Step 2: Choose who to send it to

Segment your audience so your message is relevant. For example:

• New subscribers → send a welcome series
• Recent buyers → offer complementary products
• Cold leads → re-engage with helpful tips

Parlo lets you easily segment your list based on tags, activity, or behavior — no complex setup required.

Step 3: Create your campaign content

Now it’s time to write your email. A good campaign email is:

• Clear: Your message is easy to understand
• Relevant: It speaks directly to your audience
• Actionable: There’s a clear next step (CTA)

A few content tips:

• Start with a friendly greeting and short intro
• Focus on benefits, not just features
• Break up text with headings and bullet points
• Use 1 main call-to-action (e.g., “Read more” or “Shop now”)

• Include ALT text for all images
• Stick to a clean, readable font

Good design helps your content shine — but don’t overdo it. Simple emails often perform better, especially for mobile readers.

Step 6: Preview and test before sending‍

Before you hit send, always:

• Preview your email on desktop and mobile
• Check your links and CTAs
• Send yourself a test email

Step 7: Monitor performance and optimize

Once your campaign is live, track your results:

• Open rate → Did the subject line work?
• Click rate → Did people engage with your CTA?
• Bounce rate → Are your emails reaching inboxes?
• Unsubscribes → Is your content staying relevant?

This data helps you improve future campaigns and build a stronger connection with your audience over time.
