Email marketing involves sending commercial messages to a group of people using email. It helps businesses nurture leads, engage customers, promote products, and build loyalty.
Detailed Explanation
Email marketing is a strategy used primarily by businesses to communicate directly with their customers and potential customers. This form of marketing allows businesses to send targeted messages to a large audience efficiently. By doing so, businesses can nurture leads (prospective buyers), keep their existing customers engaged with updates and promotions, promote new or existing products, and build customer loyalty over time, ensuring that customers return to the brand.
Examples & Analogies
Think of email marketing as sending invitations to a party. When a business sends out emails, it's like inviting guests to enjoy what they have to offer. Just like you might send personalized invitations to make guests feel special, businesses personalize their emails to make recipients feel valued and more likely to respond.
