Email Marketing 101

  "Did you get my email?"

 

There's nothing more annoying than unreliable means of communication. As a marketer, it's especially annoying to wonder whether or not people are getting your emails. Sure, you can look at open rate, but like many statistics, it's not always a reliable number to go on. (Stay tuned on our blog, we have a post coming about this very soon!) Which leads to another issue: if people are getting your emails, do they read them? When was the last time you changed up the format? Email marketing is still one of the best ways to reach customers, but like any marketing it requires some thoughtfulness.This month we're sharing some of our best posts about email marketing. Whether you have a newsletter or are considering one, these posts have some great tips for you!
