Why email marketing? If you re looking to grow you agency, have you considered using email marketing as part of your strategy? Want to cross sell your services to existing clients and create a dialogue with potential new ones? Using professional email campaigns is a great way of doing so. Email marketing is also low cost in nature, offers pin-point reporting and can also be easily integrated into your existing marketing strategies. According to the Direct Marketing Association, for every 1 you spend you will receive 42 in return. Email marketing can provide tangible results for your agency; such as a list of email addresses of people who have clicked on a specific service, event or news item. Permission-based email marketing can work wonders in helping you build client relationships, retain advocates for your brand and cross sell your services and products.
