Have you considered outsourcing your online marketing, in particular your email marketing? Wait – are you currently using emails as a way to keep your name in front of customers and prospects?
Before we talk about why outsourcing is a benefit to your business, let’s first talk about why you should be creating an email marketing strategy.
1. Help people remember your name
If you have been marketing your business and products for a while, you have certainly learned that it costs less to market to an existing customer than it does to gain a new customer. Why is that? Well, the current customer is familiar with your business, your product, your quality and the value. You don’t have to sell them on using your products. You just need to gently remind them about your company to spur on additional purchases.
Keeping your name in front of prospects also helps remind them they need you. As part of an email marketing campaign I emailed a client that I hadn’t heard from in a while and they responded:
“Oh, my gosh, I’ve been thinking about you. I need …”
Sometimes people just need to be reminded that they need you.
2. Make it easy to do business
The Smartphone and the consumer obsession with Instagram and Snapchat have created an environment where business leaders feel the need to be all over social media. However, here is the difference between social media and email marketing.

- Social media requires consumers FIND YOU
- Email marketing involves you CONTACTING THEM after they have ASKED TO HEAR from you
[/su_list]
There is a big difference between these two.
Email marketing makes it easy for consumers because—after they have been added to your subscriber list with either implied or express consent (according to the laws)—your message lands in their inbox and provides a message that may entice them to respond to your call to action. They don’t have to try and remember your web address. They don’t have to look up your email or try to remember your exact location. You just show up on their desk and they can decide what to do from there.
3. Provide value-based information
Your email marketing messages should provide information that the consumer can use. For example, if you are an accountant, your email marketing message might be an explanation of the tax changes for the New Year or ways to help your college student create a credit history. Landscapers can provide information about ways to fertilize plants without chemicals or get rid of ants using eco-friendly solutions.
Providing value-based information in your email marketing messages will help to demonstrate your expertise in the industry. Emailing articles that provide tips and suggestions that consumers can use right away is also a benefit. Before long, consumers will look forward to your email marketing messages for the information they provide.
4. Call to action drives traffic
Although the bulk of your email marketing newsletter should be information the consumer can use, you will want to include a call to action. The call to action might be a link to your website or a form to fill out to receive information or merely the request to call. Make sure your message has some call to action so the consumer knows what action you’d like them to take.
One idea for a call to action is a request that the reader share the newsletter on Facebook or to email their friends. This is a great way to increase the number of people who read your email.
Those are just a few benefits of an email marketing campaign. Oh wait, there is also:
