Does getting less mail mean I am less popular? Of course not. As the information age continues to move us further into the 21st century, many changes take place. Some of these changes are easily noticed, while other changes are more subtle. For instance, one may not notice that the postal worker is carrying less mail these days, including paper advertisements and direct mailings from businesses. However, our email boxes have gotten fuller.
Nowadays it is common to open daily email and see several advertisements for many products and services. This new type of product/service promotion is known as email marketing. This new strategy is an attempt to grab the reader's attention to learn more about a particular product. Instead of using paper and postage, email marketing is completely electronic.
How then, do advertisers sell products and services? One way email marketing sells products is through massive campaigns. Email addresses are gathered through on line surveys and free offers. Another way is to find customers is through web sites. Technology is great.
Once advertisers are able to gather email addresses, an advertising campaign is relatively simple to put together and is an inexpensive way to build relationships with potential customers by providing information. Once a relationship has been built, email marketing can be a very effective form of advertising. Sometimes being used to sell products or services immediately, create customer satisfaction, and build a quick base of repeat customers.
It gives advertisers the ability to track information, such as which emails are read, which are deleted, or how much product has been sold. This new type of marketing offers many advantages. First, email marketing greatly reduces the waste of paper. Second, it can save a company quite a bit of money on advertising costs. This is great since the savings can be passed on to customers. Third, email marketing can put more information in front of the potential customer, thus creating a better informed customer and also gives advertisers the ability to tailor advertisements to specific groups of customers.
