Email Marketing

Email Marketing

Email marketing is quick, efficient and can be personalised to the segmented audience you want to reach, enabling businesses to connect with, advertise to and develop relationships with many prospective clients in one hit by providing a more convenient, cost-effective, speedy and measured solution.

Email marketing example

Digital & Direct

Managed email marketing is, essentially, the electronic equivalent of direct mail but without the cost and time involved.

The creation and sending of an email marketing campaign (eShot) can be much lower in cost and time than a traditional printed direct mail campaign as there are no printing costs and no postage fees.

But it’s so much more effective than that: Not only do people check their emails every day but, the average worker has their inbox open throughout the working day. This makes email one of the most efficient and immediate platforms through which to send your marketing message.

Moreover, unlike printed direct mail, marketers do not have to wait (and hope) to see if there has been a response – they can view results in real time!

eShots

Research indicates that 72% of people prefer to receive promotional content through email, compared to 17% who prefer social media. Not only that, but a message is 5 times more likely to be seen if it appears in your inbox rather than a post on a Facebook or Twitter feed.

Moreover, the average order value has been estimated to be at least three times higher than that of social media.

eShots come in all shapes and sizes; from single messages, discount offers, event invitations (email drives 79% of all webinar registrations), customer loyalty, through to multi-article eNewsletters and eBulletins.
And, as for your audience, you are in control of who you want to communicate with, whether that be customers, subscribers or a bought-in GDPR-compliant data list of tens of thousands.

Content Planning & User Journey

Sending a single eShot may not be enough and Design Inc will work with you to establish an eMail series campaign to achieve best traction.
Here we will build a process & content plan regarding the information to appear in each email.
The first eMail may be a teaser followed up by a company introduction or marketing message, this could then be followed by a sales message. And it may not stop there: more messages may help to drive the message home and increase orders.

The content plan will also consider the user journey: if they have opened that first message, the next message in the series could be automatically sent to them. If they don;’t open it, the first message is resent.

Metrics

Sending your message out through email marketing platforms such as MailChimp, Campaign Monitor or e-shot™, provides immediate access to metrics (showing those who have received or opened the email, who has clicked through a link, where they have clicked through to, etc). This is, of course, ideal for follow up marketing to establish brand loyalty.
