There are a lot of people in the marketing industry who say that email is dead. But considering that there are over 4.1 billion email accounts we would like to differ. And with smart phones becoming more of a necessity to keep up with our fast-paced lifestyles, checking our work and personal emails has become even easier; 91% of consumers check their emails daily! So why wouldn’t your business decide to use an email marketing strategy to increase your reach to potential customers?
Having an email marketing strategy has many benefits and can be easy. With marketing automation, sending an email to 500 people can be just as easy as sending an email to one person. Having a successful strategy can have a higher ROI (return on investment) because the costs are relatively low. Utilizing email in your marketing strategy will increase your reach while still taking the opportunity to personalize your messages.
One of the most important parts of a successful email marketing strategy is the platform you use to create, send, and monitor your emails. We use and love HubSpot. There are other email platforms like MailChimp and AWeber that can help your small business take your email marketing to the next level. From there, you will begin collecting email addresses from current customers, affiliate marketing partners etc. to grow your email lists. Now you need to write your emails to these specific contacts. It is that easy!
