Learn about different types of content that can help you attract new followers or build relationships with existing clients. Discover how to leverage gated content, newsletters, blog posts, webinars, case studies, and external articles to drive traffic to your site and improve customer loyalty. Use the provided email templates for effective content marketing campaigns.
There are many types of content that you can publish on your own website or on other platforms. You can leverage some types of content to gain new followers or attract potential customers’ attention, while other types of content can be used to build relationships with existing clients.
Some examples of the former are gated content and newsletter sign-ups, which require the user to provide you with their contact information such as their email address to be able to access the full article or report. This means that you must provide some valuable content in exchange for their contact information. You can then use their contact information for future marketing campaigns, with the knowledge that they are already interested in certain products or services that you offer.
The latter types of content, which target your existing customers, include blog posts, webinars, case studies, and external articles or brand mentions. It’s important that as many people as possible read, watch, or listen to your new content since its main purposes are to drive traffic to your site and improve customer loyalty.
One of the best ways to do this is to send content emails to inform your clients about their existence. Whenever you create any of these types of materials, you should email relevant users in your database – including those who recently signed up for your newsletter email updates.
To make this process quicker and easier, it’s a good idea to use content email templates. We will provide some examples of email templates that you can use for each different type of content, but let’s start with the basics first.
An email template is a framework that you can use to write your email message by merely changing the proposed content with your own. They allow you to quickly and easily create content email marketing campaigns by simply replacing a part of the text and other message elements to match your brand persona.
Content email templates save you time and effort since you only need to modify the relevant parts instead of having to write an email from scratch. This gives you more time for creativity and writing new content. Furthermore, there is a reduced need to check the formatting or for errors, as the template will help keep everything consistent and reduce the chances of making mistakes.
Personalizing content emails can help with improving key metrics such as the click-through rate, which is defined as the percentage of recipients who follow a link in an email to an external site. You can increase this metric by up to 27% simply by sending an email addressed to the recipient by name (source).
This is the simplest form of personalization. Tailoring your content emails to specific clients can help create a lasting customer experience. This can, in turn, lead to an increase in trust and loyalty to your brand. Furthermore, 74% of marketers agree that personalization helps increase engagement (source).
Personalization is widely agreed to be the future of marketing. You can increase the impact of your strategy by sending tailored content and emails to specific segments of your user database. Presenting people with materials that are most interesting and relevant to them will also help improve the customer experience that you provide even further.
One advantage of using templates is that they will help you maintain a consistent design appearance. Your audience may expect some common aspects of your emails like colors, fonts, and layout to always remain the same. Doing so helps recipients to associate the consistent style of your communication with the brand, so your emails will stand out in crowded inboxes.
The posting schedule of content emails should also be consistent, except must-read emails, which are sent immediately when some important news needs to be shared. This helps create familiarity with recipients who can know when to expect your messages.
Anchored text that directs readers to your website from external sources, called backlinks, can also help increase web traffic and build brand awareness. Backlinks also contribute to search engine optimization (SEO), which results in your website appearing in a higher position for keyword queries on search engine result pages (SERPs) such as Google.
Content that isn’t published on your page, like on social media, in a separate document, or on an external blog or website, should therefore always include backlinks when possible. The content emails that you send to inform your subscribers about your new material should also include links to your website as applicable.
If your brand is mentioned by an independent organization, but there is no backlink to your website, then you should email the author or the owner asking if they could update it to include a relevant anchor. You might even suggest what the text could be, to make the process easier for the other party.
Finally, if you find a broken link on the web page of a respected authority figure that you would like a backlink from, you can email them suggesting a relevant replacement anchor that directs to your own site.

In general, effective email subject lines are concise, relevant, and attention-grabbing. They should clearly communicate the purpose of the email while also sparking the recipient's interest. For example, a subject line that directly addresses the recipient's needs or interests, or offers a benefit or solution, can be compelling. Avoid subject lines that are overly generic, vague, or misleading.
Your email should be a couple of short paragraphs, ranging from 75 to 150 words, and should be easy to skim and understand at a glance.
Content emails are best for content marketing campaigns. They can help you attract new clients or increase sales and conversions.
In a content email, you should include a personalized greeting that makes your customer feel appreciated. Moreover, you should then follow up with a reminder of your product or service and a strong CTA.
