Take a look at the world of email marketing and the benefits it can bring to your brand.
1. Email marketing is the most cost-effective form of marketing
You know that email is a really important way to reach your customer base, but did you realize how profitable it can be? Hubspot reports 59% of marketers say emails are their biggest source of return on investment (ROI). And segmented campaigns have seen as much 760%. If this isn’t enough evidence then take into consideration-a study found 60% of people who receive an email make at least one purchase based on what was advertised within the message.
Email marketing is also a great way for seasonal businesses (especially ones that are just starting out) to communicate with their target audiences. Email campaigns can also help these types of companies save time and money by being much more efficient than traditional forms of advertising like TV commercials or radio spots; they’re 40 times better at driving conversions too!
We’ll share some email marketing strategies that will increase your sales in a separate post - look forward to it!
2. Emails are more personal than any other form of digital advertising
Let’s be honest, there is no better way to get your customer’s attention than with an email. The flexibility that emails offer when it comes to content and personalization can’t be matched by any other medium: you have the option of creating multiple campaigns each tailored specifically for their individual needs; all while maintaining consistency across every variation in subject lines (including those containing just first names) AND achieving higher click-through rates!
Cleverly crafted emails are simply unmatched when it comes to flexibility & effectiveness. Using the power of varied content and personalization, it’s far easier to connect with customers through customized campaigns tailored just for them!
3. It's easier to track your ROI with email marketing
Luckily, many Email Service Providers like Klaviyo offer simple yet deep metric reporting where you can extensively track all the juicy details such as: ROI (return on investment), conversion rates - which measure how many people actually buy something from your brand, list growth rate meaning more new subscribers per month compared to old ones and much much more.
The metrics give you a better understanding of what content works best for different audiences because it directly shows how many people opened your emails and which links were clicked on. For example, an impressive open rate means that the person who opened their email was very engaged in reading from us no matter when they did so! Here’s an example using Klaviyo:
