Why Does Email Marketing Work?

posted on: March 2nd, 2010

Email marketing lost some of its popularity in recent years as a result of unscrupulous marketers using email as spam and sending unwanted emails out to the public. There are now very strict rules in place to stop this unwanted communication which has made the use of email as a marketing method a little more difficult for the honest marketer. Many people still view sales emails as spam and will consign these emails to the junk folder without reading which means that marketers have to work a little harder to ensure their emails are opened and read. Email marketing is the perfect medium to build trust and friendship with customers by offering the benefit of your knowledge and offering free gifts. It is a known fact that a person is more likely to make a purchase from someone they know and trust rather than a stranger. Once you have forged a bond with your customer you can introduce some sales emails offering special discounts or promotional offers. Email is the perfect way to carry out this task as the initial emails build up trust, and when you are certain that your emails are being opened, you can send out the occasional sales offer. Creating an email search marketing campaign sounds easy but it actually requires a lot of effort on your part. The whole campaign from collecting permission to email as well as creating the emails themselves and the frequency all need to be executed carefully to ensure success.  Here at Click Consult we have the latest technology and experience to create an email marketing campaign that works.

A Newsletter Worth Reading

posted on: February 25th, 2010

Creating a successful email marketing campaign depends largely on an interesting newsletter that makes a person want to sit down and read it. However, this is much harder to achieve than you think. There are several things that you can do to make your newsletter a more compelling read, as well as trying to provide original content that will interest your subscribers. Try to personalise your newsletter if possible as this will make your subscriber feel valued. Use the person’s name in the email which is a warmer approach, making them feel as though you are aware of them. If you have collected any information about your subscribers, use it to send emails that target their hobbies and interests and give information about products that will interest them. Give a clear call to action in your newsletter. Many people will read your newsletter and then delete without visiting your website or affiliate link. You must give clear, concise directions to a person so that they know what you want them to do, and also what you will provide in return. It is important to let your subscribers know that there is a link on your newsletter to unsubscribe if they wish. By respecting them in this way you will gain some trust from the readers of your newsletter. It may seem like a backwards move by giving an option to remove themselves from your list, but a subscriber who doesn't want your emails won't be a profitable customer. The web marketing experts here at Click Consult have the experience and technology to create an email marketing campaign that will maximise your return on investment, as well as ensure your subscribers will eagerly receive your newsletters.
