email marketing
What is email marketing?
Email marketing is simply a method of delivering marketing messages to a list of contacts via email. Businesses will often send out updates, vouchers, sales or offers to a wide range of contacts in the hope they will return to a website or perform a desired call to action. It’s an essential part of your online marketing mix. Email is a great way to keep your customers informed, giving reasons to interact with your brand on a regular basis.
There are two parts to a successful email marketing campaign. The first is designing and developing a unique, effective email template. The second is creating, or acquiring, a substantial list of contacts to email. It is possible to purchase bulk email addresses from third parties, but this can be poorly targeted and will have a low response rate. The better method is to build up a list of contacts through marketing activity, incentives and customer care, then analysing the success of each email and making changes for future campaigns.
Why do I need email marketing?
There is a huge variety of media channels to contact customers through, but with the decline in anonymity online, sending something direct to an email address can have a much more personal effect. By analysing response data from email campaigns, it is possible to create bespoke messages to different groups of contacts with a call to action that can produce the maximum possible return.
Email marketing provides a low cost, responsive way to keep in touch with your customers and potential customers alike.
