Email Marketing

Its arguable that email marketing is the most important form of digital marketing.

Unlike many of our social media platforms, email marketing does not have to deal with algorithm changes. If you have a customers email address, when you hit send, it hits their inbox. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need a strategy.

Utilizing email and opt-in’s to create an engaged list is more important than ever, and we have a SMART team that can make this a winning tactic.

What is Email Marketing?

Email Marketing is a direct marketing tactic where commercial e-mail messages are sent to subscribers.

Although you could consider any email from your business account a form of “email marketing”, it’s agreed by most digital marketing specialists that email marketing is more than that.

 

Effective Email Marketing is done with customization, automation, and a plan. Email Marketing platforms like MailChimp, Constant Contact, and Klaviyo are popular tools that make email marketing easy and legal for many small businesses and brands. These tools allow you to have customers opt-in to your list and you can schedule out messages to large groups.

 

Email Marketing can be used as a lead generation tool to drip information to your customer throughout the buyers journey. Email Marketing is a big part of content marketing.

Smart social tablet

The main reason small business owners and brands struggle with social media is that they treat it like their personal page.

Most people:

A person with a board behind them

Post anything and everything that ever happens to them – hourly (oversharer)

Gears

Communicate only when absolutely necessary, posting life’s milestones (hermit)

Gears

Post when something comes up – with no major thought or process (mostly everyone)

You probably don’t want to be an annoying business, forgotten business, or inconsistent/uninteresting business.

Social Media Marketing is effective when you strategize, create a plan, and set SMART goals.

ur brand and your audience is important in creating an effective social media strategy. Your strategy will involve the platforms you want to use, content you plan to produce, and who you plan to reach. Your strategy shouldn't be - ``I will post when something comes up``.

Lightbulb

How often do you plan to post? Are you creating a content calendar? How are you going to handle user comments? You need to have a plan in place and think out your scenarios. It's a lot easier to navigate the world of social media when you have a guide map.

Chart going up

Not every piece of content needs to reach thousands and solicit hundreds of ``likes``. When you create a new piece of content, know who you want to reach and the response you would like. Posting a MEME is certainly different than a Flash Sale - so expect different results.
