If you’ve been around the email marketing block, you’ve probably heard of open loops—the psychological trick that keeps your readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting your next email. But let’s be honest: while open loops can be incredibly powerful, there’s a fine line between creating anticipation and just plain annoying your subscribers.
So, how do you master this technique without pushing your audience over the edge?
In the latest issue of The Email Anarchist, we’re diving deep into the art and science of open loops. I’m tackling the tough questions head-on, including this one: How can I use open loops without annoying my subscribers? Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll discover inside the issue:
1. The Psychology Behind Open Loops
We’ll start by breaking down why open loops work in the first place. Spoiler: it’s all about tapping into your reader’s natural curiosity. When you leave a story unfinished or tease a future reveal, you’re creating a psychological itch that needs to be scratched. But here’s the catch—if you don’t manage this technique carefully, that itch can quickly turn into irritation.
2. The Art of Subtlety
Open loops are most effective when they’re subtle, not screaming for attention. In this issue, I’ll show you how to weave open loops into your emails in a way that feels natural and engaging, rather than forced or manipulative. The goal is to create genuine interest, not to leave your readers feeling like they’ve been led on a wild goose chase.
3. Timing is Everything
One of the biggest mistakes email marketers make with open loops is dragging them out for too long. In the latest Email Anarchist issue, I’ll share strategies for timing your loops just right—ensuring that you keep your audience hooked without stringing them along for so long that they lose interest.
4. Closing the Loop with Impact
Of course, an open loop is only as good as its resolution. I’ll explain how to close your loops in a way that feels satisfying and delivers on the promise you’ve set up. Your readers should feel rewarded, not let down, when you finally reveal the big payoff.
