Your inbox is flooded with emails—email is long past its prime. Right? Nope!
Year after year, email marketing proves itself as the most valuable channel of communication a business has with prospective and current clients. Social media is often in the spotlight as the new, hot marketing tactic but results have shown that email is nearly 40 times better than Facebook and Twitter at acquiring customers. (McKinsey & Company)
Email is a relevant and useful tactic for each piece of your client’s life cycle with your business. Starting with prospecting new clients, to nurturing them to ensure they return, all the way to retaining them as loyal clients month after month. Plus, did you know that 44% of email recipients made at least one purchase last year based on a promotional email (Convinceandconvert.com)? That little fact makes it exceedingly important that you continuously grow and nurture your email list.
