The Importance of Email Marketing: A Business Necessity
Email marketing is one of the most effective ways to stay in touch with current and potential customers. It allows you to create and nurture relationships that lead to repeat purchases and new leads – all on a relatively inexpensive budget compared to many other marketing strategies.
What’s more, despite the growth of social media and a proliferation of other marketing channels, email remains the most popular way for people to communicate with businesses. And according to the Direct Marketing Association, email marketing delivers the highest ROI of all digital marketing tactics.
As a business owner, you can use email to provide your customers with valuable information about your products and services – as well as special offers and discounts. And since emails can be easily tracked, you can see which messages and offers are most effective at generating engagement, click-throughs and conversions.
Unlike traditional advertising, email gives you the opportunity to engage with your audience in a real-time conversation that is both relevant and personalized. You can respond to questions, provide helpful advice and a more personal touch that makes your brand stand out from the competition.
Email also breaks down geographic barriers, allowing you to reach your customers around the globe at the click of a button. Whether they’re in bustling New York or tranquil Bali, your message will be delivered directly to their inboxes – providing the right context and increasing the likelihood of engagement.
Another vital reason to maintain an active email list is to keep your customers informed about any news and developments at your company. For example, if you’re undergoing building renovations that might disrupt parking, it’s important to let your customer base know about these changes. You can also use your email platform to notify them of any upcoming events, new product launches or seminars that you may be running to gain awareness and generate interest in your brand.
While email is a powerful tool to keep your audience in the loop, it shouldn’t be used as a sole marketing strategy. In fact, email can be very effective at every stage of the purchasing cycle – from helping your potential customers to make their decision, nurturing the relationship post-transaction and encouraging repeat purchases.
Moreover, it’s a great way to promote and complement your other marketing campaigns, especially those on social media and through search engines. As a result, it can help to drive traffic to your website and generate sales in the form of online orders and offline store visits.
