Email still remains one of the strongest catalysts when it comes to connecting with customers and driving business results.
According to a survey from the Content Marketing Institute, 83% of B2B marketers are still using email marketing via e-newsletters to reach their target audience. Tried and true methods never fail, right? Maybe not. Of that 83%, 58% report finding this method to be effective. And while that’s still a decent percentage, there is room for improvement.
Email has the ability to reach your market and keep your customers informed and there are some techniques that will ensure you achieve a higher open rate. Clear and concise subject lines, for example, can play a huge role in determining your customer open rate.
Email marketing is cost effective and allows you to track open and click through rates. Setting up a MailChimp Email Account for your business is easy. Plus you can send 12,000 emails a month to a list of up to 2,000 subscribers with MailChimp’s Forever Free Plan.
