Email Marketing

Connect with your market!  People need to know about your products and services.  Current and potential clients alike, they need to be kept informed on what you have in stock.  Mail is too expensive for such continuous announcements, and email marketing is now the best direct access method to reach clients.  If you are trying to reach people in any form or fashion, you need to be marketing by email.

Your business needs to build relationships.  A new client needs to know why they should come to you.  Current clients need to know why they should stay with you.  Both are important issues.  Email marketing allows you to keep in touch with your market and build those relationships.  Getting to know clients is just as important as your clients getting to know you.

Why not just send out my own email campaigns?

When trying to reach and convert visitors into clients, content marketing should be a huge consideration.  What you present to the customer on your site, in your news letter, in the company update you mail out each month – content is key!  Informing clients, presenting them with information, but not attempting to blatantly sell your product or service?  Don’t they just need to hear about the product?  No.  Consumers need to get to know you, get to know your company, products, and services.  As that information is absorbed, there conversion rate is likely to be much higher than a product advertisement.

Is Content Marketing effective?

Absolutely!  When you inform and tell people what they need to know, they will place their trust in you.  If they begin to trust your brand, you can create a long term, satisfied customer.  One that will tell their friends!

Banner ads and sales gimmicks have their place, but content marketing is becoming more and more prominent.  Consumers want information.  They want to know what is out there, what is available.  The flashy colors and loud advertisements cannot take the place of solid information.
