Why email marketing still works
Even in 2025, email remains one of the most powerful marketing channels for businesses.
A well-crafted email can build trust, nurture leads, and encourage direct action — whether it’s signing up for a service, booking a consultation, or making that purchase.
If your current emails feel a little ignored, it’s not your audience — it’s probably the copy. That’s where professional freelance copywriting can make all the difference.
1. Write subject lines that demand attention
Your subject line is the first (and sometimes only) thing people see. Make it short, clear, and curiosity-provoking.
Include benefit-driven words: e.g., “Boost Your Sales This Month,” “Simple Tips for Busy Entrepreneurs.”
Keep it under 50 characters for mobile-friendly reading.
Avoid spammy language like “FREE” or excessive punctuation.
2. Speak directly to your audience
Know who you’re writing for and tailor the tone to your customers. Soounds simple? It requires research and thinking outside the box sometimes. But here's some easy-to-implement tips.
Use “you” and “your” to make emails feel personal.
Address pain points your clients face (time, clarity, sales). The more specific, the better.
Keep paragraphs short for easy scanning.
Use sub-headers.
3. Make your call-to-action clear and irresistible
A strong CTA turns readers into clients.
Use actionable language: “Book Your Free Consultation,” “Get Your Copy Today.”
Place the CTA above the fold and at the end of the email.
Don’t confuse readers with multiple conflicting CTAs.
4. Test, track, and optimise
Even great emails can be improved.
A/B test subject lines, copy, and CTAs.
Track open rates, click-through rates, and conversions.
Adjust content based on what works — the data tells the story.
5. Partner with a professional copywriter
Email campaigns that convert aren’t just about grammar or pretty design — they’re about strategy, psychology, and knowing how to guide readers toward action.
As a Sydney-based freelance copywriter, I frequently help businesses craft email campaigns that save time, connect with their audience, and drive results.
Whether it’s newsletters or promotional emails, I write copy that works — so you don’t have to.
