Every customer has a trigger point that motivates them to purchase a specific product or service. As a marketer, you have to find that trigger point. Check the below example:
The example is of a brand Natura Siberica, a company based out of Moscow, Russia. It manufactures natural products from the wild Siberian herbs. As per the research from the department of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of California, Irvine, Siberian herbs could improve the immunity and help human beings live longer. These miracle herbs are also known to slow the aging process of the skin.

With most of the consumers looking up to the natural products for their beauty care regimen, the brand successfully managed to develop a content that thanked its new subscribers with the unique message about their services. The content such as “the wildly harvested herbs,” “from the unspoiled continent of Siberia” are the trigger statements for consumers.
2. Educational Email:
Consumers now have many resources to find the information before going for a specific product or service. In this scenario, if you send an educational email, giving them the message that you have the expert knowledge on that product, it will motivate them to purchase your service. The below example is of an educational email:
As you can see in the email, the brand has given some information about a research from the Ohio State of University. A research information in the email helps to increase the credibility of your email as you are stating some facts by the industry experts and specialists who have an absolute understanding of the subject.
3. The Case Study Email:
The case study is another crucial content that can be sent in an email.

It helps in the right lead nurturing process as many times it can put back the leads that have gone cold into the sales cycle. Find the below example:
Here you can see, how HubSpot, included a catchy line to promote their case study in the email signature, “How UK based company increased the web traffic by 400%.”
4. Following a Precise Newsletter Schedule:

5. Personalized Emails:
Personalized emails will never be out of fashion. Almost all the consumers like personal attention. So, when as a marketer, you send personalized emails as per their interests, or offer discounts on their favorite products, it would help to boost conversion rate.
The below one is a great example of personalized email:

They know that most of the consumers would be interested only if the eateries are near to their location. Also, in the beginning, instead of mentioning Dear customer or just Hello, they personalized it by mentioning the recipient’s name ‘Stefan.’

She would be pleased to know that the marketer has complete knowledge of her skin type, complexion, even the color of eyes. It would significantly enhance the chances of conversion.
6. Subject line, Subject line, Subject line:
