✓ WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS EMAIL MARKETING

Email marketing is an integral part of your communication with clients. Whether you have news about a new product or service, or want to announce the hire of a new employee, it’s important that you keep your customers informed about your business.

How else can your business benefit from email marketing? Check it out:

  • Build a connection and credibility with your customers.
  • Reach more of your target audience. With email marketing, 90% of email gets delivered to the intended recipient’s inbox, whereas only 2% of your Facebook fans see your posts in their news feed. This is because Facebook limits the number of times your posts appear in the news feed in an attempt to drive brands towards their paid advertising options. On Facebook, if you post an update to your 10,000 fans, only about 200 of them will even have a chance of seeing it in their news feed. Alternatively, if you send an email campaign to 10,000 subscribers, at least 9,000 of them would receive it in their inbox. This means your message is 45 times more likely to be seen using email than Facebook.
  • It can reach people on any device.Whether using mobile phone, tablet, or desktop computer – a professionally designed and written email looks great and is easy to open and navigate on any device.
  • Contact your customers more often. Take advantage of sending out weekly, bi-weekly or monthly emails to bring attention to special offers and build brand awareness.
  • Create an immediate call to action. What is it that you want your customers to do? Whether it’s simply having your customers visit your website or take advantage of a special promotion, email marketing gives you your own advertising platform.
