What is a STEP MAIL. ... Do not confuse with Email Broadcasting!!!

7月

27日

Step emails are often confused with newsletters, but they serve entirely different purposes. This time, we will thoroughly explain how to create a scenario for step emails, even for first-time users, and teach you the principles of crafting scenarios, rather than just providing sample texts.

Understanding Step Emails

How well do you understand step emails? Also known as follow-up emails, they are indispensable in email marketing. While the content of each newsletter is crucial, step emails do not conclude with a single message. Therefore, it is essential to constantly consider the customer's reaction and create a scenario that seamlessly connects to the next email. This time, we will provide plenty of information on the secrets of scenarios, even for those who are thinking about step emails for the first time!

Overview of Step Emails

First, let's quickly review what step emails are. Step emails are a form of email marketing where pre-prepared emails are automatically sent to users according to a set schedule. Starting from the day the user registers, step emails can include welcome emails, birthday emails, and more, playing a significant role in maintaining relationships with customers.

The main benefits of step emails include:

- Sending emails tailored to each user's needs by timing them with specific dates or user actions.
- Increasing touchpoints with users and enhancing communication.

Differences Between Step Emails and Scenario Emails

One email distribution method that is often confused with step emails is "scenario emails." Although they appear similar, they are strictly different. The main difference lies in what triggers the email.

- Step Emails: Triggered by a specific date. For example, emails automatically sent one week and two weeks after a user requests materials.

- Scenario Emails: Triggered by customer actions. For example, emails sent to users who have viewed a feature page three times or opened an email. Scenario emails allow for more detailed conditions compared to step emails, which are based on specific dates.

Choosing the Right Distribution Method

By selecting the appropriate distribution method based on your objectives and use cases, you can enhance the effectiveness of your email distribution. Understanding the differences between these methods is beneficial.

How to Create a Scenario

Finally, let's discuss how to create a scenario for step emails. Even if you are distributing step emails for the first time, you can create effective scenarios by keeping the following points in mind:

1. Clarify Your Goals: Clearly define what you want to achieve, such as promoting product purchases, educating users, or maintaining relationships.

2. Understand the Customer Journey: Understand the process customers go through to become interested in your product or service and create a scenario that follows that process.

3. Set Objectives for Each Email: Set specific objectives for each email and create content that aligns with those objectives.

4. Encourage Action: Include clear calls to action (CTA) in each email to prompt specific actions.

5. Set Timing and Frequency: Establish the timing and frequency of email sends to maintain customer interest.

By following these steps, you can maximize the effectiveness of your step emails.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 295 About AI

7月

25日

About AI

AI is a hot topic everywhere. Being in tech, PSPINC is naturally considering how to incorporate AI into our operations. AI is like an engine in a car. How you use that engine depends on the type of car you put it in. It could run a sports car or a truck, depending on the application. In other words, how you utilize AI changes its nature. Essentially, AI serves as a fundamental tool, and it is crucial to determine what applications to leverage it for.

When people mention AI, it encompasses an enormously broad field. This vastness can make it difficult for many to understand how to use it. Therefore, instead of talking about AI in general terms, it may be more helpful to explain applications that utilize AI. While AI is not confined to a single application, having an easy-to-understand initial application is important.

Finding the right application for each field is key to effectively utilizing AI. It is important to consider AI solutions that meet the specific needs of your company. For example, consider the role of a phone receptionist. Not only can AI help determine which department to transfer a call to, but it can also answer basic questions and route the call to the correct person. By replacing traditional phone receptionists with AI, costs can be reduced. Additionally, AI can handle initial support or sales inquiries, reducing the man-hours spent on these tasks. Providing concrete examples like these can effectively communicate the benefits of AI.

In terms of services offered by PSPINC, we have blogs that could use AI for automatic translation or built-in text-to-speech capabilities. While I cannot definitively say how AI will be incorporated into services at PSPINC at this stage, we aim to continue to improve our product and introduce AI through understandable applications in the future.

Text from, President Joe Biden | Your comment?

7月

23日

My fellow Americans,

Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a nation.

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We've made historic investments in rebuilding our nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We passed the first gun safety law in 30 years, appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court, and passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We've protected and preserved our democracy.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.

That’s why today, I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. And if you’re with us, donate to her campaign and Democrats nationwide here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/p2p-240722-jbau?refcode=misc_5_fl

I went to North Bend today and found Twedes Cafe, the restaurant used for filming the TV series Twin Peaks. After eating the pie, I walked around the block and found North Bend Bar & Grill. If I'm not mistaken, this restaurant is one of our long-term customers. I will have to visit them next time.
