 Email Marketing

• Though everyone always says that email marketing is dead, based on 2018 data it is far from it. Email marketing is still ranked the most effective marketing channel. This means that this form of marketing beat out SEO and Social Media marketing. I believe that this is because email is still used more than any other platform and it is easier to target your audience directly. It is stated in 2017 that more than 85 percent of adults on the internet use email, this beats out search engines and social media. So when creating an email marketing campaign here are some things that you should consider.

• Manners
  It is crucial to remember that you are a guest in their inbox and manners are what can make the difference from them reading your email rather than them instantly deleting it. It is easier to create a campaign if you put yourself in the shoes of the people you are targeting.

• Great Content

When looking to create an email campaign you want to make sure you make an impression. The best way to do this is to have a great call to action and make sure that your information is relevant.  Also when planning this campaign make sure that you have created follow-up emails that you can send out at least once a week to make sure your customers are reminded of your services.

Now that you have gotten some tips and tools, implementation is the hardest part. All of these things will help your bottom line.  Make sure you use some of these tips and implement them to make sure those practices listed above will help you grow your company or save you money.
