Here are 5 Reasons You Why Should Be Using Email Marketing for your Next Project
Over half of the planet uses email
Email marketing is a great way to reach your audience. Emails are accessible on so many devices, and according to Smart Insights, well over 50% of users access their emails from their mobiles. We are always checking our emails across multiple devices, and an email campaign is a brilliant opportunity to direct clients to your website.
It keeps your customers informed and rewarded
It’s all about keeping connected with your customers, and email marketing is a fantastic way to do this. The best ways to engage customers is to offer a reward of some kind. This could be a discount on a product, a free download or just some great advice.
You can improve sales with email coupons
Email coupons are a great way to reach out to your customers and give them an incentive to save money with you. If you do this regularly you will gain more subscribers and, in return, gain more enquiries and online sales.
Personalisation is an effective marketing tool
Depending on what customer data you may have, it’s possible to add personalisation into your email campaigns. Studies from Retention Science show that emails containing the customer’s name were much more effective. Making the email feel more personal makes all the difference.
Email marketing is not expensive
Email marketing is not expensive. It’s a fact. It’s one of the most inexpensive ways to market to your customers. Email campaigns allow businesses to reach out to a huge number of customers all at once. If you’re on a budget, it’s also a lot cheaper than advertising on TV or radio. There is no excuse to not try it out!
