Things to Consider
Target Audience
Who is your audience and what are their needs? Your email needs to engage them and produce a response. Each target audience may require a distinct approach and a different message.
How will you source your email addresses? Do you have them already or do you need to buy them in?
Objectives
What do you want to achieve? Do you want to raise awareness, generate leads, close sales or improve customer relationship and retention?
Budget
Use a return on investment (ROI) analysis to fix your budget, and stick to it. Simply put, work out the return you expect to get and decide how much you are willing to pay for it.
Implementation
How will you design and build your email, send it and track it?
Tracking
How will you track your email delivery rate, the open rate, the number of click-throughs generated. How will you manage unsubscribe and bouncebacks? This is critical to understanding the success of your campaign as well as for planning future campaigns.
