Email Marketing for Business

Helping you effectively nurture prospects and customers via email campaigns

Did you know that email marketing has the potential to give you the highest return of any digital marketing? It’s a marketing channel that helps nurture new prospects and past/current customers by keeping them up to date, leading them through their buyer’s journey, and nurturing their loyalty.  

While it can have great returns, it can also hurt your business reputation and “likeability” if you don’t do it right. Your emails need to engage your readers in a personalized way, provide value, and be easy to digest. If not, they’ll delete your email, mark it as spam, and affect your deliverability of future emails from your domain.

We know the right ways to use email marketing to your advantage to nurture these leads and customers.

Email Marketing 101: How to avoid the spam filters

Email marketing is more than sending out a monthly newsletter. It’s about customizing the experience your followers have while engaging with your brand. This may include an email reminding them they left items in their online cart, wishing them a happy birthday, thanking them with a free gift, and so much more. 

You need to do all this while avoiding the dreaded spam filters. Avoiding spam filters involves a combination of design best practices and written content (avoiding words like “free,” for example). 

It’s also important that your marketing strategy is specific about the types of emails you’ll be sending and their frequency. Sending too often can overwhelm your recipients and they won’t open them. Send too infrequently, and they may forget who you are and delete you as spam. 

Your email marketing strategy can be as robust or as simple as you need. It’s all about creating additional touchpoints with your audience to stay top of mind when they’re ready to buy (or buy again).

Why email marketing matters to your business

Email marketing allows you to send personalized, tailored emails to your list. It’s also a great place to set up automation and email sequences that run on their own (like when someone signs up for a free offer, they automatically get sent a series of emails every few days with additional insights, offers, or upsells). 

Email is part of your overall online marketing strategy and is often tightly linked to social media content, blogging, and other content you’re creating online for your business.
