Why are you trying email marketing?

This is the key question to consider when using email marketing. Your answer will define what you are going to say and to who. There isn't a simple answer but some examples may help to demonstrate the power of email marketing.

Quick sales boost

If you want to try boosting sales you can buy a list of email addresses from an agency. Lists are available for very specific markets and are checked to make sure emails won't be going to people who don't want them. Your email will probably have a simple offer with money off, 2 for 1 etc. to encourage recipients to go to your web site and make a purchase.

Regular communication with your clients

Most companies have a list customers including email addresses. Opening regular communication with your customers can be a very effective way of encouraging brand loyalty and increasing sales over the longer term. Weekly, Monthly or Quarterly email newsletters from trusted sources are often read give you an opportunity to promote new products and services in an informative and informal manner.

Raising awareness in your industry

Working within a specific industry often means competing with larger, established companies so promoting your brand is vital to being able to compete. A well written and informative newsletter spent to businesses in your market can associate your name with expertise and in-depth knowledge. Email addresses can be collected from your industry contacts, bought-in lists and sign up forms on your web site.

Post sale email marketing

It is cheaper to keep customers than find new ones. Follow up emails based on previous purchases will encourage repeat business. Often integrated with a online shop to reduce the effort you need to make this form of email marketing becomes more effective as you experiment with what works.

"Products to match your needs"

Businesses that turn over stock like housing, second hand machinery or new record releases can benefit greatly by asking web site visitors what they are looking for. Once signed up your web site can automatically send messages to customers with information that matches their requirements. This is an effective way of communicating to customers without bombarding them with information they don't need.
