E-mail Marketing Campaigns

If you are not using e-mail as part of your marketing strategy, you might be missing on a huge opportunity.
In a recent survey by Datran Media, for most marketers, email was listed as the most important advertising tactic for 2007. Mainly because of its ability to drive incremental revenue.

A well structured marketing campaign should be measurable and objective. The purposes could be different; keep existing customers informed about the company, invite customers to your new web site, send out promotions, improve customer retention, etc. In most cases it will be targeted to existing customers to either up-sell or cross-sell the company’s products or services. Or it can be a campaign specifically designed to attract highly potential customers.
If you think about it, e-mail has become a very popular mode of communication worldwide. Most companies and people have e-mail accounts to receive information and to keep in touch with other people. Using this media appropriately can bring excellent results. For example, you can send an e-mail marketing campaign about your new product and invite customers to acquire this product at a discount in your web site using a given code. This not only will generate traceable and measurable results, but it will also provide you with invaluable marketing information about your new product.
