“ Before you create any more “great content”, figure out how you are going to market it first”

-Joe Pulizzi & Newt Barrett

Being well-established in the world of social media and organic search can make even the most well-formed search strategist forget about the significance of low cost email marketing. However, it’s necessary to consider the need of upgrading email marketing campaigns in order to expand your digital marketing portfolio. So what are we talking about? Let us make clear what exactly we are discussing about…

What is email marketing?

You need to distribute your marketing messages to a group of people to attract potential customers or retain current customers. What do you do? You will contact people to market your product or service. You may send ads, solicit sales or try to build a brand of your own! And all these are done through emails and only emails. That is why it is termed as email marketing and traditionally it takes the form of direct mails and transactional mails. Want to know the difference between the two?

Direct emails : You want to announce a special offer associated with your new product and you would like to attract all your customers. In order to send promotional messages, you collect a list of email addresses from service companies or so and send it directly to your customers.

Transactional emails: Order status emails, password reset emails, purchase confirmation emails, and reorder emails….It involves all those emails that involve the action of customers with your company.
