March 16, 2020

If you are just starting a business and are low on budget for marketing, you may want to do it all yourself. One of the most cost-effective ways to do it yourself to reach out to new customers is by using email marketing. It is also a tool that is easy to use and great for businesses on low budget alike. 

  1. Increase your mailing list: One of the most important tasks involved while you work on email marketing is to keep increasing your mailing list by looking for prospective customers. You can increase your subscriber's list by implementing a signup form on your website.
     
  2. Register on an email marketing tool: You can also register on a tool that can help you with email marketing automation. This can help you save a lot of time and effort as well as help you in creating professional templates and having a better impression on the new customers.
     
  3. Personalize each email: If you want to be more personalized for each customer, email marketing is a great way to achieve it, unlike social media marketing. When you personalize your emails, you can see up to 6 times better results. Also, if you personalize the subject line, you can see up to 26% more response and the likelihood of opening the emails than if you write a generic subject line. You can also personalize by providing information to the users that could be of interest. Such emails will attract up to 58% more revenue than of others. 
     
  4. Real-Time delivery: Unlike the traditional direct mail campaign, sending emails helps your customers receive the mails immediately. Direct mailers can take several days, unlike an email that is opened instantly. 
     
  5. A better form of communication: It is much easier to converse with potential customers. If you send out a newsletter, your customers can respond immediately to you on the products or services that you have mentioned in the newsletter. You can also respond quickly and with ease which can create an open conversation practice with your customers. Each customer wants answers to their queries fast before they spend money on your product or service. 
     
  6. Ease of Tracking: With a direct mail campaign, you can never know if the mailer was even read or it went into the trash. Also, there can be a huge waste of time and money. Hence, unlike in a mailer activity, email newsletters can be tracked easily to know when they were delivered, opened, and read. This will also help you to understand which emails are being opened and which not. Hence you will be able to analyze which type of content is working and what is not. 
     

Considering the above factors, you will be better prepared to reach out to many more customers than you maybe did in the past. Hence, you will be able to create a better customer funnel for your business encouraging increased revenue and profitability.
