What is Email Marketing?
Email marketing is the act of sending commercial messages to a current and potential target audience.
We all receive multiple emails on a daily basis. Good email marketing means that your clients and potential clients open and engage with your communication, often even looking forward to receiving emails from you. The challenge is how you cut through the clutter to interact with your clients. Email marketing can also help you to create strong brand loyalty.
Email marketing is one of those very versatile marketing tools, as not only is it easy to assess the success, but can also support a variety of different objectives. For example the email tool can help you to retain customers, acquire new ones and support any promotions that you have running.
