The Queue email looks much more vibrant with images next to each item. If an article you're including doesn't have an associated image, simply mouse over your image to select an image from our Media Library.

You can even upload an image of your choosing.  Just make sure it is under 2 MB of space.

A Queue with ten articles of only text can seem intimidating. Users respond better to articles with images—and that's not even taking into account that articles with images are also more often viewed and clicked once shared to social media.

You're probably building your Queues during the workday, and it's understandable you'd like your users to reap the fruits of your labor as soon as possible—but take your finger off that "Send Immediately" button.

Studies have shown that emails are least effective during the workday. Users are often busy with their main jobs and will disregard the email as something they don't have time for right at that moment.

Try sending at the end of the workday to catch people as they're putting their work away for the day, or during their commute home so that they see the email during idle time when they are more likely to be on social media anyway. Or, get that Queue in their inboxes bright and early—send it before the morning commute so that it gets spotted before work steals their attention for the day.

A User who frequently receives Queues with items that are not relevant to them will quickly learn to disregard Queue emails. The most successful Clearview Social administrators segment their Users into Groups and only send each Queue to the Group(s) it's most relevant to.

Some ways that Users are often arranged into Groups include:

Since Users can be placed into multiple Groups, we encourage you to use all of these distinctions to most effectively segment the recipients of your emails. Then, news about a banquet could be shared only to Users who live in that region, whereas a think piece about breaking industry news could be shared only to Users who practice in that industry, and so on.

Give your users a little direction or backstory that prompts them to consider the worthiness of sharing these articles. A good message contains a call-to-action as well as some information that helps the user understand why the article is so important.

Some custom messages from some Clearview administrators that have had strong response:

Studies (including one by MailChimp that analyzed over 200 million emails) have found that emails with repetitive subject lines eventually cause a diminished response, even with those users who enjoy and engage with the campaign. Consider playing with the tone, phrasing, and pitch of your Queue's subject line each week. After all, even a user who responds well to Clearview Social emails may subconsciously feel bored by the tenth "Your Weekly Share For The Week Of ____".
