EMAIL MARKETING: OVERVIEW

–> What it is: relationship-building; an opportunity to create engagement with customers and prospects that will build trust, increase sales, loyalty and referrals, and provide value beyond their initial interaction with your brand or business. A great example: local grocery case study.

–> Other local business Success Stories: Yoga Studio, Restaurant, Wine & Spirits

–> What it is NOT: a tool for prospecting (i.e. emailing people who have not ‘opted-in’ to receive emails from your business), or inundating subscribers with information that it not relevant either to their interests or your business.

–> Permission-Based/ List-Building Best Practices

–> IMAGES: The “Right-Click” Trick — to insert an image that is already online somewhere else into your email, locate the image; move mouse pointer over the image, and “right-click;” select “Copy Image Location.” You can then paste this URL into the Image location, edit its size, give it a caption, assign it a click-through URL, etc.
