Why Email Marketing is Still Effective?
There are many ways to market your business online, but one of the oldest methods is still one of the most effective. Email marketing has been used since the advent of the internet and email, but with social media, many people think it is passé. However, email marketing should still be a part of your overall online marketing strategy.
The Power of Email Marketing
Statistics show for every dollar spent on email marketing, it can generate up a $38 return on investment. It can also be used to reach out to a broader range of clients than other forms of marketing. Email marketing can be used to reach out to your current customers and website visitors to offer exclusive promotional pricing or to share news about your company.
Email Marketing and Social Media
Even very successful social media businesses like Facebook and Twitter use email marketing to reach their users. If you have accounts on these platforms, then you’ve probably received notification emails about someone tagging you in a photograph, commenting on your post or announcements from the company about new features. If these very successful companies still use email marketing, then why shouldn’t yours?
