Hesitant About Email Marketing? You Are Probably Already Doing It.
Are you hesitant to use email marketing because it feels intimidating? You’re not alone. Many of our customers have expressed the same reservations – that email marketing seems too complex and expensive and likely requires extra staff or skills to execute it effectively. Ironically though, as we dig a bit deeper into how they communicate with their prospects and customers, we learned that many of them are actually already using email marketing, perhaps without even knowing it!
Did you know?
Every time you send your prospects or customers an email, including a contract renewal, appointment reminder, quote, or promotion, you are using email marketing. Email marketing is simply a means to build relationships and encourage communication between your prospects and clients and your business. When used effectively, email marketing creates interactions, and helps to move your prospects through your sales funnel; from letting them get to know your business and offerings all the way to trusting your business enough to purchase from you. And, it doesn’t stop there, once they become your customers, you can use email marketing to foster loyalty and improve your customer retention.
Now that you know the basics of email marketing, let’s talk briefly about what may feel even scarier and that’s marketing automation. But rest assured, there is nothing to be scared of here as marketing automation actually simplifies email marketing by letting you automate the emails you’re already sending – so they will be automatically delivered to your prospects and customers every time they engage with your business, whether it’s with your email inbox, website, landing pages, or forms. You simply create your emails in advance, select when and to whom you’d like them to go, and voila! you’re using marketing automation! Besides unbelievable time savings, you also benefit from the robust reporting you receive from marketing automation. You can see who is and is not reading your emails, clicking on your links, or visiting your web pages.
