All about Email Marketing Strategy

Email is undoubtedly the most preferred channel of communication in terms of usability and consumer preference. Email marketing is supposed to be one of the most effective marketing strategies today.

Compared to the other marketing methods Email marketing has the following advantages:

High reach: Once you get people join in your Email list, you can reach them.

Great Flexibility: Irrespective of the kind of business that you are doing consultancy or sales, you can do it through Emails.

Least Risk: The cost included in Email marketing is much less compared to other methods.

Low Entry Barrier:  Though you are not an expert to begin with, you can achieve great results once you learn the right Email marketing strategies.

Give Control:  Unlike the other tactics which largely depend on policy changes, Email marketing is less affected by laws.

It is advisable to use three different email marketing strategies:

1.    Offers: While many businesses depend on offers to sell their products, it is significant to know how to make an offer effectively in your email. A good offer shouldn’t be pushy; instead it must sound helpful to the recipient.  Through your offer, you can give some great reasons for buying what you sell, as a friend of the recipient.  People are more likely to believe a sincere friendly advice than a pushy sales offer.

2.    Content: Content Email marketing is a brilliant tool that you can use regardless of what type of product or are offering.  Here you are creating an email as a ticket to enter into your content which is behind the information wall. You can also ask people to share more information o share o link in order to gain access to the content, which can be a report, video o article. If you use the content strategy efficiently, people will trust you  more and which can convert to more sales.

3.    Relationship Building: in this strategy, you can develop a relationship with your customer by sharing more information in the email than just the products. You can do so by sharing your opinions or views on matters that has no direct relationship with your business. Unless your email connects with your customer on a personal level, your email offers sound pushy and the matters of email remain distant.  
You can depend on one strategy more than others, but it is better to use them combined.
