Despite the rise of social media, email remains one of the most effective and cost- effective ways to market your business. It is also a powerful way to build relationships with customers and prospects.
It’s a fast, flexible and cost-effective way to reach new customers and retain existing ones by encouraging repeat website visits.
In addition, it can be used to improve your customer engagement by sending targeted emails to specific groups. Using data on customer behavior, likes and dislikes, demographics, and more, you can tailor your campaigns to make them relevant and engaging for each recipient.
Email is one of the best ways to create brand awareness, because it is an unobtrusive form of communication that allows you to send out personalized messages that are consistent with your brand values. These emails can include special offers, news and updates about your business, product announcements and more.
A well-designed and crafted email can be the difference between winning or losing a potential sale, so it’s essential to ensure yours stands out from the crowd. It can also boost your conversion rates and help you grow your business.
Your open rate is the percentage of people who receive your message that actually click through to read it. This number is important because it indicates whether or not they found the content valuable. If you have a low open rate, then you need to work on improving your messaging and design.
You can also use your open rate as a guide to determine how often you should send out emails to keep your list engaged. If you don’t send out emails often enough, your subscribers might forget about you and start to ignore you.
The best way to maintain a high open rate is to use a clear subject line that is compelling and intriguing, as well as to avoid spammy, unsolicited emails. This will also help you stand out from your competitors’ marketing messages.
In addition, your email should look great on both desktop and mobile devices. It should also be responsive and load properly on slow internet speeds.
When a person signs up for your newsletter, they’re giving you permission to communicate with them on a regular basis. This can be a great way to build long- term relationships with your customers and increase your brand loyalty.
Your email can be a source of information about your business, so be sure to update it regularly with new blog posts, news and more. This will help you establish yourself as an expert in your industry and establish trust with your audience.
It can be easy to get carried away with your email marketing, but it’s crucial to focus on creating high-quality content that’s valuable and relevant. This will give you an edge over your competition and help you attract new clients.
Your email list is an invaluable asset that can pay for itself many times over if you treat it correctly. It’s important to keep your list active and clean by removing inactive and incorrect addresses as soon as possible.

My name is Odile Raphael and I am originally from West Africa. My immigration journey started in 2006 in Ottawa where I landed for study and study again. I chose Ottawa because it’s a bilingual city and I could easily interact more comfortably in my first language (French) to English without so much confusion. My name “Odile” means “wealth” an accumulation of valuable resources according to Google definition meaning that wealth is a combination of Physical, Financial, Spiritual and Economical resources a person can possess. With that being said; I’ve been all over the places in my search for a job/career satisfaction for about 15 years. I’m currently working in the Healthcare Home and Community Services with Victorian Order of Nurses since 2020. Prior Education or formation includes but not limited to Hotel Management and Restaurant, Security/ Private Investigation services, Police Foundation and working at a Manufacturing Auto Parts Assembly in Strafford Ontario.
