Hey there everyone! Welcome to our newest online marketing master class, the Email Marketing Success Kit! Thanks for letting us be your guide in this educational journey, and congratulations for your decision to learn how to tackle the hottest internet marketing trend of this year and beyond!
If you’re a regular internet user, you are well aware of how important email is for everyday life and for business. Most people take email for granted because it is the easiest thing to use and understand, but what most people are not aware of is that email is a goldmine that can help you drive traffic, generate leads, and make more sales.
That Takes Us To Email Marketing
This isn’t news to anyone who is familiar with online marketing, or to anyone who has been added to a business mailing list. Businesses and entrepreneurs have been using email as a marketing tool to make their business goals a reality for years, and it is as powerful today as it has ever been!
Email marketing is simply the use of email to promote a brand, a product, a service, or a business. Email marketing is a direct marketing strategy because it allows you to contact potential customers directly, in their email inboxes.
And that right there is one of the reasons why email is still one of the best marketing methods around: an email subscriber is someone that has already joined your contact list because he or she wants your brand or business to send them personalized emails.
So even though there currently exist more than 40 marketing categories, email is the only marketing category that lets you nurture leads and cultivate customer relationships directly and affordably. For those reasons alone, over 85% of US retailers consider email their top marketing channel!
What’s more, email marketing has improved considerably. Now, there are tools and platforms that help you organize and automate your email marketing efforts. Things have come a long way since the days when people and companies had to set up their own mailing servers, and design their emails from scratch.
