Email Marketing is a method of marketing products or services using messaging usually targeted at a   specific group of people, using email.

Email marketing is an effective, valuable and inexpensive way for businesses (small, medium and Large) to reach large audiences in order to promote their products or services while creating  brand awareness, building trust and creating loyalty. Email marketing allows them to communicate to existing customers, introduce themselves to prospective customers and promote special offers, discounts and deals. Email marketing also provides a mechanism for businesses to develop and maintain a relationship with their customer base and prospects. Creating relevant, effective and useful content is extremely important. The biggest pitfall to avoid is spamming. Spamming can put you on backlists(lists used to block IP addresses associated with spamming) so creating and maintaining solid email lists and using them responsibly will help you to achieve your goals. Keeping these things in mind can help you create successful email marketing campaigns.

One way the avoid being blacklisted is to use opt-in email advertising, or permission email marketing. Opt-in email marketing is advertising via email whereby the recipient of the advertisement has consented to receive it.

One example of permission email marketing is a newsletter. A newsletter sent to the customers of a company or organization is an effective way to inform them of upcoming events or promotions, or new products. A company or organization that wants to send a newsletter to their customers may ask for their consent either at the point of sale of a purchase or offer opt-in consent on their website to receive their newsletter.

With a list of opted-in contacts in their contact database, marketers can send out promotional information automatically using autoresponders. They can also create customer categories to allow for specific or targeted messages to be sent to associated groups.

Legal requirements: It’s important to note that some countries have anti-spam laws which spell out the rules and regulations to follow when sending marketing emails. It’s important that you familiarize yourself with these rules and regulations before sending out email campaigns.

Email Marketing Services vs. Create, Manage and Run your Own Email Campaigns: There are different ways to create and send out email campaigns.

• Create, Manage, and Run your Own Email Campaigns: You can create your own email campaigns and send them from your own servers. Some of the things to consider before using this method:

• • Can your server handle the volume?
  • Do you have compliance checks in place to make sure you’re conforming to the appropriate spam regulatory compliance laws?
  • Will your server IP address get blacklisted for spam?
  • Do you have email tracking and analytics in place to give you valuable insights on the effectiveness of your campaigns?
  • Do you have subscriber management in place so that users can opt-in, opt-out and self-manage other aspects of their subscription?
  • Cost: Sending out email campaigns using your own servers can be relatively free but you have to consider the cost of having all of the infrastructure, automation, checks, subscriber automation, analytics, reporting, etc. in place.
