What is email marketing?<\/strong><\/p>\n Simply put, email marketing refers to the use of email communications in a marketing strategy to achieve specific business objectives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Emails can be used to generate sales, improve customer engagement (i.e. newsletters), acquire customers, build brand awareness and reward customer loyalty.<\/p>\n For existing customers, email marketing emphasises communication and awareness. For potential customers, emails can be used to attract and engage in an outreach campaign.<\/p>\n The most effective email marketing campaign can be segmented in such a way that it is tailored to multiple personas for different initiatives. For example, one campaign can be designed to bring in new customers, another to announce a Black Friday sale.<\/p>\n Here are some other examples of different email campaigns.<\/p>\n Types of email marketing campaigns<\/strong><\/p>\n Newsletters: <\/strong>Newsletters are effective in keeping your customers tuned in to your brand. They usually contain an introduction, description and image links that inform customers about new products or services, industry news, important announcements or any changes in your business that you want to convey.<\/p>\n Welcome messages: <\/strong>These emails are generally sent to first-time customers after online registration, but are also used for sales generation, lead follow-up or brand awareness. A welcome message generally works best when combined with a special offer to generate further customer interest or action.<\/p>\n Anniversary or birthday messages: <\/strong>This campaign increases customer retention and loyalty. This type of email highlights important milestones for the brand or customer and is often accompanied by a special promotion or discount code that they can use.<\/p>\n
