In the marketing world, there are always highs and lows when it comes to how people consume content. Sometimes mailers do better than email marketing, radio has a higher return than television, and so on. In the past year or so, email marketing has taken a front seat to many other marketing options. Why? Likely because of its ability to hit people when they want it, and the opportunity for personalization.
Unlike some traditional media avenues, email marketing is highly trackable. Not only can you see how many people each email goes to, but also how many opens, bounces, clicks, and so on. It provides built-in proof it’s working. You can easily see what content is doing better than others, and improve upon it each time you send an email out.
Email marketing is highly successful when combine with other marketing avenues such as SMS, social media and website pushes. By providing the same (or very similar) messages across each, not only are you sending a consistent message, but you’re also hitting customers at different times and in different ways which are needed to stay top-of-mind.
