Best Practices for Using AGENTVIEW CRM’s Email Campaign Tool
Best Practices for Sending Emails Through the AGENTVIEW CRM Email Campaign Tool
Hey there, Agent!
With AGENTVIEW, you’ve got a powerful communication hub that helps you stay connected with clients, share listings, and build lasting relationships. Whether you’re sending a market update, promoting a new listing, or sharing a helpful tip, following these best practices will help your emails land in inboxes, look professional, and strengthen your brand.
1. Use Your Own Email Address for Authenticity
✔️ Send from Your Personal or Business Address
When setting up a campaign, always use your own verified email address (like you@yourdomain.com). Clients are more likely to open and trust emails that come directly from you.
🚫 Avoid “no-reply” or unmonitored emails
Emails sent from addresses like no-reply@ often feel impersonal and may be flagged as spam. Using your real email also allows clients to respond directly, creating a more personal connection.
💡 Pro Tip:
If you’re using a custom domain (for example, agent@yourrealty.com), make sure your DNS records include SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. These improve your sender reputation and help ensure your emails reach inboxes instead of spam folders.
2. Write Clear, Friendly, and Honest Subject Lines
Keep It Simple and Relevant:
Your subject line should clearly describe what’s inside, like:
“🏡 New Listings This Week in Riverside”
“Your October Market Snapshot”
“Quick Tip: How to Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal”
Avoid Clickbait or Overhype:
Excessive punctuation, all caps, or exaggerated phrases (“ACT NOW!!!”) can look spammy and reduce deliverability.
Sound Like Yourself:
Write subject lines in your natural tone — as if you were texting a client. Authenticity always performs better than a hard sell.
3. Craft Relevant, Helpful, and Easy-to-Read Content
Keep It Conversational:
Write your emails like you’re talking to one person — friendly, direct, and clear. Use short paragraphs and avoid overwhelming readers with too much information.
Deliver Value:
Focus on what matters most to your clients: local housing stats, listings, real estate tips, or community news. The goal is to inform and engage, not just to promote.
Make It Scannable:
Use short sentences, bullet points, and clear calls-to-action (CTAs) like “View Listing” or “Schedule a Tour.” Remember, most readers skim — make it easy for them to get the point fast.
Built-In Unsubscribe Link:
AGENTVIEW automatically includes an unsubscribe link in every campaign. This helps maintain compliance and builds trust with your contacts.
4. Send Only to People Who Want to Hear from You
Avoid Purchased Lists:
Never send to purchased or scraped email lists. These people don’t know you, and sending to them can damage your sender reputation and lead to spam complaints.
Focus on Warm Contacts:
Reach out to leads who’ve opted in, registered on your site, or interacted with you before. Familiar names get higher open rates and better engagement.
Keep Your List Clean:
Remove bounced, invalid, or inactive emails regularly. This keeps your campaigns healthy and improves deliverability across all future sends.
5. Send Smart — Don’t Overdo It
Balance Is Key:
While AGENTVIEW no longer limits how many emails you can send per day, sending too many at once can hurt deliverability or overwhelm your audience. A balanced send strategy is your best friend.
Plan Large Sends Strategically:
If you’re emailing a large contact list, break it into segments — for example, buyers, sellers, past clients, or new leads. This approach keeps your messaging relevant and prevents spam filters from flagging your activity.
Watch Your Engagement Metrics:
Monitor open rates, clicks, and unsubscribes through AGENTVIEW’s campaign reports. A sudden drop in engagement can mean you’re sending too often or need to adjust your content.
Think Long-Term:
A consistent rhythm of valuable, well-timed emails builds credibility and trust — while high-volume blasts can burn out your audience quickly.
6. Maintain a Respectful Email Frequency
You’re a Guest in Their Inbox:
Each email is like a visit to your client’s inbox — make it worth their time. Avoid sending too frequently and ensure each message provides something useful or insightful.
Quality Over Quantity:
It’s better to send one thoughtful, well-crafted email each week than several low-value ones. Consistent, meaningful communication keeps clients engaged without feeling spammed.
Match Frequency to Content Type:
-
Weekly: Market updates, new listings, or community spotlights
-
Monthly: Newsletters or roundups
-
Quarterly: Client appreciation or seasonal check-ins
7. Design with Deliverability and Readability in Mind
Keep It Clean and Simple:
Use a balanced mix of text and visuals. Avoid heavy graphics or image-only emails — some clients block images by default.
Add Alt Text for Images:
Always include alt text so your message is clear even if images don’t load.
Test Before You Send:
Send yourself a test email first. Check formatting, links, spacing, and how it looks on mobile and desktop.
Avoid Spam Triggers:
Skip overused marketing phrases like “FREE!!!,” “LIMITED TIME,” or “ACT NOW.” Keep language professional and genuine.
8. Stay Legally Compliant and Transparent
Follow Email Marketing Laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, etc.):
-
Always include your name or business name in the “From” field.
-
Provide a valid business address in the footer.
-
Include an unsubscribe option (automatically added by AGENTVIEW).
-
Avoid misleading subject lines or false promises.
Transparency builds trust and protects your reputation — with both clients and email providers.
9. Track, Learn, and Improve
Review Your Campaign Reports:
Use AGENTVIEW’s analytics to see what’s working. Track open rates, click rates, and engagement trends over time.
Test and Refine:
Try A/B testing with different subject lines or CTAs to learn what resonates best with your audience.
Build Your Brand Voice:
Keep your tone consistent across all campaigns. Familiarity breeds trust — and trust drives results.
