As with all aspects of your Internet marketing, you must have a sound strategy in place for email marketing to be effective.
Campaign Strategy
Before developing a strategy for your campaign, we first must work with you to understand your target audience and what type of campaign they may respond. We must provide engaging content and offers so they open and read your emails.
Types of Emails
- Blog posts
- Special Announcements
- Sales or Offers
- Newsletters
- Holiday Greetings
- Combination of above
Keep it brief and easy
Many people walk into it thinking they have to write a dissertation every week and include “Grandma’s Super Secret Cookie Recipe” in their email blast. The truth is, the longer your email, the more people are just going to delete it. Or worse, unsubscribe. If you keep the content on your Blog and use your email blast as a vehicle to get traffic to your content, you are going to be much more successful.

As part of your email campaign you will receive the following:
- A WordPress Blog (various levels of customization available)
