A new infographic on Social Media Today looks at email marketing and why it's so important.

Even with social platform usage continuing to rise, email remains a key element of any effective digital marketing strategy, providing a direct connection between you and your target audience, and facilitating a range of engagement benefits. Being granted access to a users' inbox is not something that can be taken for granted, as abusing the privilege can easily get you cut off and lost to that individual forever.

That's why your emails have to be planned, and they have to be personally relevant as much as possible. Get these elements right, and email will likely become the backbone of your marketing outreach process. To help with this, the team from Email Tool Tester have put together this new overview of essential email usage stats and tips, which can help in your planning.

          Thanks for sharing such valuable information. Email is good for building trust and trust is built through relationships. Relationships are critical to success for every single business although some people think that doesn't apply to online business.

          That's completely false.

          You may never actually meet or speak directly with your audience of customers, but it's still critical that you foster a relationship with your prospects or customers so they like and trust you enough to buy from you.

          When we have a list of people to whom we can reach out to via email, the possibilities are endless.

      Same. I had a client lose pretty much their entire SEO-based lead generation because Google changed their algorithms. They were freaking out trying to figure out what to do next...further discussion led to the realization that they were sitting on a 10,000+ email list that they weren't utilizing at all. Talk about an untapped gold mine.

    Email marketing is important for building relationships with prospects, leads, current customers, and even past customers because it gives you a chance to speak directly to them, in their inbox, at a time that is convenient for them.

    Email marketing can be used to attract new clients or customers. Email marketing can be used for both outbound and inbound prospecting. Inbound prospecting involves sending promotional emails and newsletters to potential clients who have subscribed to your email service. Outbound marketing is where you send cold emails directly to potential clients. Cold emails are emails you send to prospects who are a good match for your products and services.

    Especially if you launch products.

    That first day momentum can make you or break you.

    A pre-sold list that you got excited about a launch that was tailor made for them with credit cards in hand to take advantage of that early bird discount will make all the difference.

    To my mind, everything becaus email maketing is one of the most spread ways of digital marketing nowadays. There are cold and warm calling, email and social media. Well, social media is pretty hard for novices in marketing, then they choose either calling or email. When you're about to call your potential clients you start understand that this scheme requires lots of time to learn it, while the msin task in email marketing is to attract a client and never let your letter to fall down in spam folder. All the types of marketing actually have their own ifficulties, some of their harder than other, some of them easier than others.

    Email marketing is effective because it helps in the building up of trust between the prospect and the sender. Prospects turn into buyers mainly on account of the trust built in the process.

    In my opinion, you perfectly described the significance of email marketing nowadays. I just want to add that email marketing is almost the only way to promote your business across digital sphere. Ir's so vast that it occupies several other sphere such as advertisement and so on so forth. I believe that email marketing is a very difficult activity which requires years of learning and practicing. B2B in my opinion is tougher than B2C, nevertheless it's pretty incorrect to compare these different branches of email marketing.

    Even though social media is huge email marketing is still important. Social media platforms do go through changes. For example old platforms such as Myspace, Hi5 and many others. So just in case any current platform may decide to move on or change then you already have an email list you have prepared and are ready to reach out to your subscribers in case anything like that happens.

  • tbh email is the woist invasive monstah on the planit.

    Las' week my bestie Amy sent me sum REAL WEIRDSY STUFF.

    "A CULT has got my email," she said, "and now my intray is overwhelmed with fricking PYTHONS. Real, imagined -- and worse!"

    "K," I say. "I will get on this forya. It will naht involve mechanised troops with guns, but it will work out kinda same."

    *Dated a drummah once & I can pull miracles occasionally.*


    "Yeah, but what am I doing in the meantime, hon?" Her face screws up like a petrified rat. "Gonna be stressed."

    "Hey, listen, jus' discovahed there is this store where you can get them healin' crystals you love so much, an' they gaht a deal gowin'."

    "But you figure crystals are lame, babe. What are you saying?"

    "I am sayin' I lookin' out for you, Sweetiepoppet. You want me to send the link anyways? Could be crap, but so's the cult thing. Hey, I am comin' ovah tamara."

    A significant pause now ensoos.

    "I got a health check tomorrow. My eyes are goofy."

    "I'll be there, whatevah."

    "Guy is a creep."

    "Then we shall suck off his insootability as a hooman togethah while we get you sorted."

    "Thanks." (Do I sense a tear fallin' at this point -- or has the death of a baby mouse done that butterfly effect thing makes life so unbearable sumtimes?) "Hey, did I mention I got my cash back on those horrid boots?"

    "You did naht." *mock sob* "An' I hate you so."

    Thing is, the woist invasive monstahs thrust 'emselves 'ponya all the time

    *major apols Amy*

    but what mattahs is ... which you invitin' in?

    Degrees of intimacy are our ultimate touchpoints.

    We would wish always for lovahs or friends steada vampires.

    Evry email recipient on the planit now feels this visrly.

    That is your start scenario for email.
