Today it is about staying in touch with your customers, communicating with them regularly, reminding them of your value and setting yourself ahead of your competitors. Organisations use email marketing because it has many benefits over other marketing channels – and it works. 

Email marketing grew by 24 per cent last year to £274m, as organisations reach out to consumers via their inboxes. The reason? Because it works!

Email marketing is a versatile channel that any business or organization, regardless of size, can use to send newsletters, promotions and offers, coupons, thank-you messages, event invites, e-cards, e-brochures and many other things.

It is perfect for generating repeat business, driving referrals and building loyalty. Here are just some of the benefits of email marketing – and key reasons why your organisation should be using it to generate new business:

  • It’s personal: Email offers you the opportunity to personalise your message to the recipient. Send them emails addressing them by name and give them offers targeted to their preferences.
  • It’s quick: It takes far less time to plan and execute an email campaign, than, for example a direct mail campaign, and you get your results back almost immediately. If you react quickly you’ll see the benefits to your business almost straight away.
  • It’s cheap: In comparison with direct mail campaigns with their inherent postage costs email campaigns are very cost effective and with response rates usually higher than direct mail, email will give you a better return on your investment.
  • It’s measurable: Email campaigns are fully trackable giving you complete visibility of your results. Being able to see exactly how many emails were delivered, opened and clicked on, and in real-time, means you can test different campaigns and refine them to get the best response rates.
  • It helps build customer relationships: Because email communications are cheaper and easier to send, companies often use email to keep in regular contact with existing customers and this enables them to build stronger relationships with them. Email marketing is the ideal medium to update customers with time sensitive offers and product news

  3. Hi Jim,

    It’s always been about relationships hasn’t it? It used to be that we managed those relationships in our stores in person and later via direct marketing but, now we use other mediums such as eMail to stay in touch. I have always believed that to serve a community you need to be a part of it as well.

    Regards,
    jim
