But in this blog post, we thought we would highlight some of the common client questions and challenges relating to email marketing that we come across regularly. Let’s start with the typical questions that we get asked…
What is email marketing?
Email marketing refers to using a platform to broadcast/send a marketing message typically in html format to promote your company or organization using a data list with contact details.
What is the benefit of using email marketing?
Using a platform for your send will allow you to track the performance of your email in terms of number of opens, clicks as well as unsubscribes. Typically, email marketing is used when there is a need for a bulk send-out of a message instead of a one-to-one send through a normal email client.
When should I be using email marketing?
Email marketing is a great marketing channel to use when the audience you are looking to target is known and you have the details of the individuals that you wish to target. Important to note is that the data you have gathered or acquired for individual should be compliant with GDPR if located in Europe.
How can I use email marketing for account-based marketing?
Email marketing provides excellent capabilities to tailor your marketing message on an account-based marketing level specifying the exact target audience that you have on file. Both segmentation and tracking ability of contact activity is high on email broadcast platforms which allows for meaningful follow-ups based on user interest.
