What is email marketing?
Email marketing is the act of communicating with mass quantities of people through email. Email marketing aims to help companies connect with their audience, build trust, and effectively increase leads and generate sales for the business.
Why is email marketing important?
We must understand that not everyone is ready to buy from us right now. That’s why email marketing is important. It helps you to stay top-of-mind for when the prospect is ready to buy.
Email marketing is ranked “the most effective marketing channel”, beating out SEO, social media, and affiliate marketing. When it comes to staying in touch with people, email is the most popular way to go. It’s not just for nerds and business types, either. Around 94% of online adults use it, and nearly half of them check their messages on their phones.
Benefits of email marketing?
Email marketing’s reach is second to none. Even if Facebook and Twitter tank, your email list will keep growing. Email marketing is a great strategy for businesses to use for lead generation and growing their audience.
How to do email marketing
To get started, you need to build your email marketing list through lead magnets. Then you must segment your audience so that you can target them with personalized campaigns. Next you design the email series (campaigns) that will fulfill the goals of each campaign. Remember to include triggers and alerts about what happens if someone opens an email or clicks a link within it. We can help with designing all of this – click here to schedule a discussion!
