The benefits of email marketing
There are many benefits to email marketing for small businesses, including:
- Increasing brand awareness
- Promoting your products or services
- Separating you from your competition
- Generating new leads
- Maintaining your relationship with existing customers
- Positioning yourself as an authority in your industry.
Sending a variety of different emails—such as promotions, holiday and birthday wishes, new product launches, and company news—is a great way to keep your audience engaged and your business top-of-mind.
How to build a successful email marketing campaign
Keeping the main goal of your campaign in mind throughout the creation process will help you create a message that is clear and effective.
Creating an email marketing campaign can be broken down into 4 steps:
- Build and grow your email list
- Brainstorm what types of emails you want to send, and define the goal for each
- Create your emails and send them
- Measure your success by analyzing your email marketing metrics.
There are many third-party email marketing services, such as mailchimp.com or constantcontact.com, that can make creating an email marketing campaign easier by providing helpful information, templates, tutorials, and analytics reports.
When to seek help with your email marketing
As a small business owner, you have a lot on your plate, and email marketing can easily get crowded out of your to-do list.
If you’re unsure where to start, aren’t achieving your goals, or simply don’t have the time to put together an email marketing campaign, it may be time to outsource your email marketing to a professional.
