Beginner Introduction to Email Marketing
Email marketing is one of the strategically oriented options for the marketing departments to give a thrust to their marketing campaigns. It has become an unarguable channel for lead generation and a display of thought leadership and reach. Broadly, this term covers each mail sent to the customers whether it is for promotion or for persuading the present customers, It also demands sending emails to gain customers loyalty towards their products and built customer relationships. We can also call it as a holistic way to educate contacts about the products and the company.
There are three forms of email marketing:
- Direct mail
- Retention Emails
- Placing advertisements in subscription magazines
Direct email means emails directed at old as well as potential customers to inform them about their new products. It could also be an announcement of special offers or about launching of schemes. This involves making the list of postal addresses of customers and sending them emails with special offers.
Retention Emails are in the form of promotional emails formulated to induce the recipients for an action. It could be motivating them for buying or signing up for something. These could be in a form of a newsletter which might carry promotional messages or advertisements but aims at generating long-term impact on the readers. It provides readers valuable messages like detail information about the products and services, providing entertainment which is beneficial for the readers.
Placing advertisements in subscription magazines: This involves placing an advertisement in the newsletters generated by others on payment. This ensures the information about products and services has reached the potential clients. Many email letters are created for this purpose to sell advertising space to others.
What are Benefits of email marketing
Email marketing is now being used by thousands of businesses all over the world. Here are few of the reasons why email marketing is getting so popular:
Less costly
Email marketing is cheaper as a message can be dispatched to thousands of email addresses and that too quickly. There are no fees levied and nor any print or postage cost, though email marketers can incorporate a software for automatic sending of emails, tracking them and making an evaluation of the same. There might be some overhead cost for dispatching emails at a certain point but these costs are considerably lower than expected using other marketing channels.
Businesses get the best return on Investment
In the businesses, results are what that matters. With this concept in mind, the main reason behind most businesses invest in email marketing is the return on investment.

The time came when in spite of sending so many emails I did not get a single response. Then one of my friends who is an online marketer suggested me to join EduCba. After a little hesitation, I joined the course. When I started doing it I understood the mistakes I had been committing.
