Email Marketing – The most effective channel for customer engagement
One of our increasingly scarce resources today is ‘time’, especially the time to ‘pay attention’ to traditional interruptive style marketing (TV, radio, print etc.). Marketing in an interactive world relies on the ‘permission’ to engage with customers. Once we have their permission, we can converse with them much more cost effectively knowing they are already interested in our product.
The internet is the greatest direct mail medium of all time and the low cost of frequent interaction makes it ideal for Permission Marketing.
“Email marketing out-performs every other channel on ROI and averages an impressive $40 for every dollar spent.”
