WHAT IS EMAIL MARKETING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

Email Marketing is a technique of communication with the user in which the email is used to attract potential customers or retain regular ones.

It is a direct channel to the user that allows you to adapt the content to each consumer and thus to obtain a greater return on the investment.

Good segmentation is key in an Email Marketing strategy.

Email marketing is direct, but not invasive. The user normally provides their email willingly and agrees to the service. There are many tools to create, launch and measure the results of your campaign. We can help you build up your own user base and train you on how to properly utilize them.

Taking into account that Email Marketing reaches a ROI of 4.300%, great results can be obtained with minimal investment.

It gives you a gateway to inform your clients (new and old) of information about new products and services.

Reasons Why You Should Consider Email Marketing

• 91% of marketers check email at least once a day
• 80% of consumers prefer email as a marketing communication channel
• Email marketing has a ROI of 4300%
• The email works at all times within the methodology of content marketing or Inbound Marketing, regardless of the state in the cycle of purchase of our user.

HOW CURRENT EMAIL MARKETING WORKS

The most important thing about email marketing is to know who you are targeting. Establish a buyer-persona that allows you to know who you are addressing and what content is useful for each one of them. Knowing the needs, interests and who your buyer is, allows you to make segmented and personalized content that hits the spot.

Timing is vital and, therefore, content must be ad-hoc depending on the user’s buying cycle. Ensure that you do not send the same content if the user is in the stage of awareness or the stage of consideration. Also, the difficulty of the content should be greater as you progress through the funnel.
