Certain words and phrases can cause a reaction. When I recommend “email marketing” to my clients, many times their reaction is one of concern. It’s the kind of doubtful reception you can feel even over the phone. People might jump to the conclusion that email marketing is spam. The two words are not one in the same! Somewhere, email marketing earned a lackluster reputation.
I’d like to stress the value and importance of email marketing. Many marketing companies completely overlook it. It could be because I usually hear, “We’ll try it on our own.” Naturally, it usually never gets done and when it does, it lacks in quality. Not everyone has time to write a quality, informative email. That’s ok, and that’s why we’re here.
The first step is to prioritize your communications with your current clients. Keeping yourself on the top of their minds will be beneficial in generating referrals. Current clients lead to future business.
Email newsletters can help achieve the following:
- Generate more client referrals
- Increase your positive reviews online
- Promote additional services
- Improve recall
You can avoid getting sent to the spam folder by following these steps:
- Send monthly newsletters as opposed to weekly newsletters
- Write new, interesting, and relatable content
- Plan for new topics and features
- Don’t oversell yourself
- Make sure your client list is always current
Email marketing can be a helpful tool in closing the gap between your current clients and your new clients. Hands down, it is the most affordable, yet overlooked, marketing strategy. You can decide to call it email marketing or you can even call it POWERFUL CLIENT COMMUNICATION. It doesn’t matter. What is important is that it is time to start utilizing this platform to its full potential.
