Email and Why It Is Important to Your Marketing Mix
Email marketing is such an important piece of your marketing budget, yet it is often undervalued and overlooked.
Here are a few tidbits as to why it is a vital channel for direct marketers to significantly invest in.
• Email yields the highest return on investment. Every $1 invested produces $38 in revenue.
• The cost of email compared to other media makes it such a strong communication tool. There are no postage, paper and printing costs to contend with here, just some production and deployment costs.
• Email is a versatile media since 50% of all opens are now taking place on a mobile device.
• The analytics surrounding an email campaign allow marketers numerous opportunities in a real-time environment. The sophisticated technology examines opens, clicks and non-opens allowing marketers to adjust their message.
• After watching the initial behavior of the recipient, it is an opportunity to follow-up with a second email to drive customers to conversion. This can take place with an incentivized offer or a subject line adjustment.
• Email addresses are easily uploaded into the Facebook platform and matched to a Facebook user ID. With Facebook being such a visible and effective medium for advertisers, marketers can extend the life of an email or direct mail campaign to a highly engaged and captive audience.
• It is projected email spending will continue to increase to over $3 billion by 2019
