Email marketing:
- Allows targeting
- Is data driven
- Drives direct sales
- Builds relationships, loyalty and trust
- Supports sales through other channels
Email promotions and offers generate immediate action: sales, downloads, inquiries, registrations, etc. Informative email newsletters and other emails send people to offline stores and events, prepare the way for catalogues, build awareness, contribute to branding, strengthen relationships, encourage trust and cement loyalty.
In simple words, Email Marketing is a good way of going about your marketing business.
