They don&#8217;t want all their information and personal data to be out there without any restrictions. Big companies, like Apple, have already taken action regarding the matter. The new IOS 15 update in September 2021 released with Mail Privacy Protection, which brought a lot of speculation on how it would affect email marketing practices.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/apple-ios-15-email-marketing-impact-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent HubSpot survey<\/a>, we have a clearer understanding of how the iOS 15 updates and data privacy is affecting email marketing. The results show that <strong>47% of the respondents determined it had a neutral impact<\/strong> on their email marketing strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Right now, we are still adapting to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/apple-privacy-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cookieless world<\/a>. As a consequence, there are a lot of worries among marketers around the world. New privacy rules impact email strategies directly, making it harder to know how our consumers are interacting with our content. Moreover, If we can&#8217;t collect certain data about our email activity, how can we guarantee our efforts?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The solution is complex, but not impossible. Email marketing is not dead, it is just a matter of adapting as soon as we can to these changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both IOS 15\u2019s update and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upguard.com\/blog\/how-to-be-gdpr-compliant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GDPR<\/a> laws trigger us to think out of the box and offer more value to our subscribers. Relying on good content and deliverability is key to overcoming this landscape.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to receive articles like this directly in your inbox, consider subscribing to our interactive newsletter below!<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/ionfiles.scribblecdn.net\/scripts\/ionizer-1.3.min.js\" data-ion-embed-hash=\"eyJ1cmwiOiIvL2ludGVyYWN0aXZlLnJvY2tjb250ZW50LmNvbS90aGViZWF0LWJhbm5lcj9faW9uX3RhcmdldD1lbWJlZC0xLjAiLCJpZCI6Il9pb25faW9uaXplcl8xNjQzMzkxMzYyMzY3IiwiYXBwZW5kUXVlcnkiOmZhbHNlfQ==\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Apple\u2019s iOS 15 is Impacting Email Marketers according to Data<\/h2>\n<p>Something kinda obvious, but it\u2019s still important to make it clear: iOS 15 is only available for mobile devices (iPhones, iPads, iPod touches). Even though the amount of iOS users in the U.S. is over 56%, the worldwide alternative software is more popular. For that reason only 27% of the global population use iOS.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-opt-id=940838291  decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/OdslLSWQsxfuY5aLWC-uxT9RcWWFT3daKRKcZanVdxLoBlIjwvinbctf0JGqt_Zs4q-0WAjxSN7aOqI5M7gcnRdGT_GwVicZo-WuWISc5JlPRjKZS3TFamH2g1s-8tt4CjRnVB8r\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/apple-ios-15-email-marketing-impact-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HubSpot<\/a>&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are a lot of important areas that are influenced by both GDPR and iOS updates. For example:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduced access to user data;<\/li>\n<li>Decreased ability to operate location-based strategies;<\/li>\n<li>No ability to see the open rate or click-through rate;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean the end of email marketing or that it leaves us handcuffed. Solutions and alternatives are already being tested by professionals and are already providing very interesting results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For instance, some small companies have turned anxiety about privacy rules into a bit of a competitive edge. They\u2019ve managed to frame privacy as a selling point, openly reassuring customers that their information isn\u2019t being tracked like before. In a weird twist, the very thing that had marketers sweating a couple of years ago is now a trust booster\u2014at least, if you\u2019re clever about communicating it. Not everyone\u2019s gotten it right, and yeah, there are still bumps in reporting, but people do seem to pay attention to brands that don\u2019t act shady about their users\u2019 data.<\/p>\n<p>Some teams have even built entire campaigns around transparency, leaning hard into \u201chere\u2019s what we ask for\u2014and what we don\u2019t.\u201d Consumers may grumble about a few more opt-ins, but there\u2019s less eye-rolling when the trade-off is clear. It\u2019s not perfect (nothing in marketing ever is), but it\u2019s forced everyone to slow down and actually consider what value their emails deliver, not just how many numbers light up a dashboard at the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of them!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some alternatives proven by professionals&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prioritize KPIs<\/h3>\n<p>The first action taken by marketers was to re-prioritize their success indicators. According to Hubspot, up to 62% of impacted email marketers started taking into account different KPIs to measure the effectiveness of their marketing efforts.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, they decided to analyze other KPIs, such as clicks, spam rate, web traffic, unsubscribe rate, or surveys. They even considered A\/B testing to check the results of their campings.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use alternative channels<\/h3>\n<p>At this stage, you should already know that you can&#8217;t trust a single channel for your communications. Being present in other channels helps you to have better segmentation while spreading the word.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest (but underrated) alternatives is SMS Marketing. Remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankmycell.com\/blog\/how-many-phones-are-in-the-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.8 billion people around the world carry a cell phone<\/a>. Why not make the best of it by just sending a message?<\/p>\n<p>And if you are not yet convinced, let me tell you that <strong>SMS has a 98% open rate<\/strong>, while only 3% of marketing emails have an open rate above 50%, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/blog\/email-marketing\/sms-marketing-vs-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to a Campaign Monitor research<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offer value and deliverability<\/h3>\n<p>Another step is to avoid elements that can hurt your email deliverability, such as poor content, using URL shorteners, or single opt-in. In this new scenario, 28% of email marketers responded to privacy changes by focusing on improving email deliverability, as reported by Hubspot. And we all should do the same.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you don&#8217;t want to end up in the SPAM box, you should always make sure to deliver valuable content and benefits to all your subscribers. Some advice for making better content emails strategy are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monitor the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.litmus.com\/blog\/email-design-trends-what-we-are-expecting-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest design trends.&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Touch your consumer pain point through good copy, titles, and CTAs.<\/li>\n<li>Get out of the ordinary, and start trying <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/what-is-interactive-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interactive content&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Give a human touch by personalizing your recipient\u2019s name&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build trust<\/h3>\n<p>Relationships are based on trust, and marketing is not an exception. <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/transparent-digital-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Transparent communication<\/a> is key to gaining your customer&#8217;s reliability. Let them see your business&#8217;s human side and be always truthful to your values and principles. Share your own experiences, data, and surveys, to let your audience know you are very committed to your mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you do this, your customers will have more confidence to give their personal information to you. And the best part is that you are already building a long-lasting relationship while protecting their privacy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>GDPR and Privacy are here to stay. They are already shifting social media and advertising marketing. In order to make the most of the resources spent on our email marketing campaign, it is necessary to make some changes to our priorities and KPIs, and be focused on delivering the best content for our subscribers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Start thinking out of the box and see how your marketing efforts are all worthy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers nowadays are more aware of the protection of their privacy.
