Email Marketing
Year by year, marketing strategies keep growing. SEO, SEM, Video Marketing, Funnel Conversion, Social Media Marketing, Text Marketing, and even Wifi Marketing are now part of the arsenal for a mutli-channel marketing strategy!
But one category has never been retired and remains over time: Email Marketing
For 10+ years in a row, email marketing is generating the highest ROI for business owners. For every dollar spent, email marketing is said to generate $30+ in ROI while delivering the broadest reach of all marketing channels available. Despite the large abundance of tools out there, email marketing is key and the best bet for your business.
What Is Email Marketing?
Email marketing is the use of email to draw attention to your products and/or services. A more accurate definition of email marketing is developing relationships with potential customers and/or clients through email. Email marketing is one piece of digital marketing which can improve the performance of other online marketing strategies, like funnel conversion, and remarketing. Email marketing is very much like direct mail, except it is instant, trackable, measurable, and more customizable.
Personalized
The personalization of email marketing goes beyond adding someone's first name to an email. It considers factors like past purchases, location, and browsing habits to generate emails with powerful calls to action that will generate more sales!
Drip To Success
Using drip campaigns can keep your brand in front of the potential client's eye until they are ready to engage. Scheduled email campaigns allow you to gradually augment your offer until the customer can no longer resist!
