Email Marketing Is an Essential eCommerce Strategy

Every day, approximately half of all Internet users either check or send email.  That’s over a billion people who are involved in email activities.  With the decline of snail mail, a business is at a severe disadvantage if it doesn’t utilize an email marketing strategy to support its eCommerce platform.

While SEO may get the lion’s share of attention when it comes to eCommerce, email marketing is proving to provide good ROI.  Customers can engage regularly with their company of choice by opting in to receive regular email communications.  Businesses can promote products and increase interest in special sales events through active email engagement.

Email marketing doesn’t have to be bland and boring.  Dynamic, engaging emails catch the customer’s attention.  Emails can even be personalized by having the customer complete a preference survey early in their interactions with a company.

You can also track consumer behavior using email marketing.  Want to verify a transaction with a customer?  Want to confirm that a customer left a shopping cart without completing the transaction?  Care to get feedback from a recently completed purchase?  Email allows your company to do all of this and more with ease.

Email Marketing is Cost-Effective and Flexible

Compared with more traditional forms of advertising, email marketing is incredibly cost-effective.  It costs pennies to send out emails to thousands of potential customers, while it costs many dollars to go a more traditional route.

One of the reasons why IronPlane enjoys working with dotmailer is the analytic response.  Using dotmailer’s software, it becomes easy to track customer responses to their emails.  You get instant feedback about what is working and what is not.
