Do you see email marketing as outdated? Think again! With countless channels and increasingly busy customers, email is your anchor in the digital noise. And with an email tool directly connected to your customer data, it’s easy. Really easy.
Email is the old lady that has been around since 1971. The fact that this channel is still highly relevant more than 50 years later is fascinating. 97 percent of Swedish internet users use email (Svenskarna och internet), and it is one of the few communication channels you control yourself. You don't have to worry about social media algorithms; your customers and subscribers have actively agreed to receive your emails.
Email is your own channel. And the contacts, they are yours as long as you manage your email list well. To retain contacts and subscribers, you need a clear strategy – you need to mix information and value-creating content with news and marketing. And above all, you need to be relevant in your communication.
In short, email is your best channel – where you get the chance to speak directly with the recipients.
With email you have the opportunity to be truly personal. Your email is sent directly from you to the recipient, where you can create a feeling of that you are paying individual attention to each individual customer. In short, a real relationship builder!
By tailoring the content of your mailings and adapting them to the recipient's characteristics, interests and purchasing behaviors, the chances of the customer converting increase. Maybe the recipient will click the Buy now-button directly in the email if your offer is irresistible?
Email involves minimal design, creation, and distribution costs, plus you get features like segmentation, scheduling, and follow-up. Together, they generate a high ROI, making email a hugely cost-effective channel.
"The e-mail channel has become much more efficient! We spend less time on that point, with less effort. We also send more e-mails and newsletters, while the opening rate is higher and more people click on the links in the mailings."
