4 reasons why Email Marketing is not dead

Email Marketing.png.png

Email marketing has been around for decades and it’s easy to assume that it’s been taken over by influencer marketing and top performing platforms such as TikTok. However, email marketing remains one of the most reliable and cost-effective tools for engaging with your customers and gaining leads/conversions.

Cotton Digital shares four reasons why your business needs email marketing:

1. Personalised Content

One of the great advantages of email marketing is the ability to deliver personalised content directly to your customers. Email allows you to tailor messages to different databases and address your customer by name, which increases the likeliness of your customer opening your marketing email.

Personalisation forms a deeper connection with your customers because they feel that the brand understands and values their needs, which is key for higher open rates, engagement levels and customer loyalty. A great example of personalisation is sending a special offer to specific customers to make them feel exclusive.

2. Reaching the Right People

Email marketing provides a direct line to your audience. When someone subscribes to your email list, they’re expressing an interest in your business.

Email ensures that your message reaches the intended recipients, who are actually interested in your brand, which will assist in gaining worthy leads. You can also follow their clicks and behaviours on your emails so you can deliver the right content to the right audience.

3. Providing Value to Your Audience

Email marketing is not just about putting offers in front of your customers or selling them your brand-new product, it’s an opportunity to provide meaningful value to them.

You could share helpful tips, industry insights and more about your brand, which will build trust between you and your customers as they’ll feel like they’re getting to know you.

This keeps your customers engaged with your brand, even when they’re not actively purchasing. It’s also a great way to stay relevant to your customers without spamming their inbox with useless content.

4. Retargeting and Improving Sales

One of email marketing’s most effective uses is retargeting customers who have previously engaged with your brand. Whether it’s a follow-up email after a product view or a friendly reminder for an abandoned cart, retargeting keeps your brand in your customers' minds and can improve conversion rates, but be careful - don’t retarget your audience too much as this can drive your customers away!
