Some people may think of email marketing as old fashioned. However, it remains one of the most successful marketing strategies that a business can use. Even better, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Sites like MailChimp will even let you get started for free.
Some of the biggest businesses are using email marketing to promote a brand, send offers, and much more. With email marketing, you can send specific messages to the exact people that you want to target. Segmenting contacts into lists can make this even more effective.
Sure, not everyone is going to open the email that you send, but there are techniques to build your open and click rates. In order to encourage more people to open the email and take an action, you have to be savvy. Subject lines are possibly the most important, because people need a reason to click on it.
