When people hear “email marketing” they might think of spam. But it could not be farther from the truth. Email marketing is not sending unsolicited emails sent to strangers, it’s sending relevant emails to known recipients, who have given you permission to email them.
There are various goals for email marketing, and here are a few tried-and-true approaches that bring results;
Top-of-mind campaign
The purpose of top-of-mind campaigns is to remind your clients that you’re still there for them. An example of a top-of-mind campaign are newsletters and emails sent wishing your clients holiday wishes.
Cross-selling campaign
These are emails you send your customers to recommend complementary products. You may have received “Other clients bought” or “You might also be interested in” type of emails.
Upselling campaigns
You could use an upselling campaign to promote newer or more expensive products to replace an existing product. For example, a car dealers use these campaigns when a new model of your current car comes out.
Drip email campaigns
Drip emails are a preplanned series of emails that are sent to recipients when a certain trigger happens. These can be onboarding emails after a client signs up for a service, or an email campaign to set the expectations and provide an overview of the sales process after a prospective client has submitted a request for a quote.
