Five Great Reasons To Choose Email Marketing - Dianne Fergusson (Email Appenders)

Email marketing is one of the most powerful marketing tools available to businesses of all types and sizes. No matter how you define success, you can achieve outstanding results with email marketing while investing only a small amount of time and an even smaller amount of money.

So, Why Email Marketing?

1. It’s Inexpensive: Email marketing is an affordable way to stretch a tight marketing budget - and whose aren’t these days? Unlike direct mail, there is virtually no production, materials or postage expense. Email marketing is 20 times more cost effective than direct mail, and can cost as little as fractions of a penny per email.

2. It’s Effective: Email marketing enables you to proactively communicate with your existing customers and prospects instead of passively waiting for them to return to your Web site or storefront. It is a highly effective way to increase sales, drive site or store traffic and develop loyalty.
i. Increasing sales
ii. Driving traffic
iii. Building Loyalty

3. It’s Immediate: Email marketing generates an immediate response. The call to action is clear: “Click here to take advantage of this offer”, or “to learn more about this service”. Initial campaign response generally occurs within 48 hours of the time the email campaign is sent.

4. It’s Targeted: You can easily segment your lists using a variety of criteria or interest groups so that your promotions go to the individuals most likely to respond to your offer.

5. It’s Easy: There is Web-based email marketing products for small and medium businesses. Most include professional HTML templates, list segmentation and targeting capabilities, as well as, automatic tracking and reporting. So, you are free to concentrate on your unique message.

It is time to put email marketing to work for your business!!!

But of course you have to be careful as you can seriously damage your brand by using tricks to try and get customers.

But when used properly with a good list, a good design and great copy you can see response rates from 5 to even 60%

Now that's not bad in anyone's book!
