Does Email marketing still work?
Email marketing isn’t going anywhere. If anything, it is still a preferred way of communication for a number of business owners. While chatbots, text, WhatsApp are more a newer way to communication, email is definitely more traditional. Emails allow you to deliver long form messaging and updates. It can also be more secure than alternate options.
What about Spam?
The best way to avoid ending up in spam is to make sure that someone on your list has actually opted in. When someone opt’s in, they agree to receive emails from you. While some programs promote email marketing as the best way to connect with potential clients, email is best used in conjunction with other marketing strategies.
