You’ve probably heard it before: “Email marketing is dead.” It’s a phrase thrown around by marketers chasing the next big thing. But here’s the truth — email marketing is far from dead. In fact, it’s more alive and powerful than ever. If your email campaigns aren’t performing, the problem isn’t the channel — it’s the strategy.
At AbdulHadi Blog, we’re here to bust the myths and show you how to breathe life into your email marketing with proven, practical tactics that actually work.
Why Email Still Works in 2025
Despite the rise of social media, messaging apps, and influencer platforms, email remains one of the most direct and personal ways to connect with your audience.
Here’s why email is still king:
High ROI: For every $1 spent, email marketing generates an average return of $36 or more.
Direct access: You own your email list — unlike social platforms that control your reach.
Personalization: Emails can be tailored to user behavior, interests, and preferences.
Automation: Once set up, email funnels work for you around the clock.
AbdulHadi Blog believes email is still one of the most underutilized tools in the digital marketing toolkit — not because it’s outdated, but because many people use it the wrong way.
Mistake #1: Sending Generic Blasts
If you're sending the same email to your entire list, it's no wonder your open and click rates are low. People want content that speaks to them — not a generic message made for everyone.
Fix it: Use segmentation to divide your list based on interests, purchase behavior, or past interactions. Then, create messages that feel personal and relevant. Tools like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, and ActiveCampaign make this easy.
At AbdulHadi Blog, we always say: the more relevant your message, the higher your engagement.
Mistake #2: Boring Subject Lines
Subject lines are your first impression. If they don’t grab attention, your email won’t even get opened.
Fix it: Write subject lines that spark curiosity or offer value. Use personalization (like the reader’s name) and emojis where appropriate. Keep it short — under 50 characters is ideal.
Example:
Bad — “March Newsletter”
Better — “? Boost Your Sales with These 3 Quick Fixes”
Mistake #3: No Clear Call to Action
If your email has no clear next step, your readers will likely do… nothing.
Fix it: Every email should have one clear call-to-action (CTA). Whether it’s reading a blog post, signing up for a webinar, or grabbing a discount, make it obvious and easy to follow.
At AbdulHadi Blog, we recommend placing the CTA in multiple places — early in the email, in the middle, and at the end — so readers don’t miss it.
Mistake #4: Neglecting Mobile Users
More than 60% of emails are opened on mobile devices. If your emails aren’t mobile-friendly, you’re alienating a huge part of your audience.
Fix it: Use responsive templates, keep your design clean, and write short paragraphs. Test your emails on different devices before hitting “send.”
Mistake #5: Inconsistent Sending
Sending emails once every few months isn’t enough to build a relationship. On the flip side, blasting your list daily can annoy people.
Fix it: Choose a consistent schedule — whether it’s once a week or twice a month — and stick to it. Over time, your audience will come to expect and look forward to your messages.
AbdulHadi Blog suggests quality over quantity. A well-written, valuable email once a week beats five rushed messages any day.
How to Make Email Marketing Work Again
Here’s a quick checklist for email success:
Build a high-quality list (no buying emails!)

Final Thoughts
Email marketing is not dead — it’s evolving. If you're not seeing results, it’s time to rethink your approach. When done right, email becomes a powerful engine for engagement, loyalty, and revenue.
