Why use a communications agency for your email marketing strategy
Email is a communication medium that consumers prefer for promotional information. Indeed, even if promotional advertising campaigns are abundant on the latter, consumers prefer to receive advertising by email. It is therefore a very interesting tool for developing a company’s reputation and services.
What is emailing?
Emailing is a technique used in communication. The idea is to send content by email to targeted people via a database to generate an increase in sales.
There are different types of emailing:
- Newsletter: the newsletter informs the reader about news, promotions, company information or any other relevant content that may be of interest to a current customer with whom to maintain a relationship or a potential customer with whom to build a relationship.
- Prospecting email: the purpose of this type of email is to acquire new customers. It is therefore a question of proposing products or services, introducing the company or proposing interactive formats with questionnaires, games or other.
- Promotional email: the specific aim of promotional email is to present products or services that are new, to present them to current customers but also to prospects who have been targeted beforehand.
- Loyalty email: this type of email is only aimed at current customers, whether they are regular buyers or not. The aim is to encourage them to use your company again. Formats such as rewards and gifts to congratulate them on their purchases, or discount vouchers can be requested. This will make the customer want to come back and therefore build loyalty.
- Email invitations: if you are organizing special events, trade fairs, product or service presentations, launch days, etc., you can invite customers or prospects to come and find out what you are offering. You will need a large database to reach the people you are targeting.
One of the ways email marketing works is through marketing automation, which is the use of planning and mailing methods so that it is done automatically by computer tools rather than by hand. The same concept is used to obtain data on targeted people who belong to the same consumer category. Marketing automation is an essential part of digital marketing.
