Using eBooks in Your Marketing Campaign

In today’s fast-paced digital world, we marketers are constantly looking for effective ways to share content and connect with our audience. This was one of the motivations that drove us to analyse the performance of over 250 million email sends from our network. When looking at what types of content worked better on our email campaigns, we noticed that certain words on the subject line lead to better email open rates. Emails that offered “eBook” on the subject line were opened 13% more, cementing what we already suspected from our eBooks performance: our audience likes and seeks out eBooks.

Why eBooks Capture Attention

Unlike traditional blog posts or whitepapers, eBooks offer a more in-depth exploration of a topic while remaining easily accessible and shareable. They provide businesses with a platform to deliver high-quality content that resonates with their target audience while also boosting brand awareness. An eBook gives the reader meaningful insights and allows them to learn something new, or access valuable research.

eBooks are also perceived as a tangible, high-value asset. They provide readers with a downloadable resource they can consume on their own time, making them a highly effective medium for both educational and marketing purposes. For businesses, this means a better opportunity to engage with potential customers who are genuinely interested in the content being shared.

Whether shared through email, social media, or available for download on your website, eBooks are an excellent way to deliver large amounts of information in a structured, digestible format.
