Email marketing is a strategy used by businesses to communicate directly with their audience. It allows for targeted messages that can result in better engagement and conversion rates. Some of the benefits include direct communication, measurable results, and a high return on investment (ROI).

β Build and manage an email subscriber list.
Detailed Explanation
Building a subscriber list involves gathering emails from interested customers who wish to receive updates. This is typically done through sign-up forms on websites or through incentives like discounts. Once the list is built, managing it means maintaining its quality by ensuring subscribers are engaged and removing inactive emails.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine youβre throwing a party and you collect RSVPs from friends. You want to ensure you invite only those who are genuinely interested in attending. Just like a party list, an email subscriber list should be curated to keep the audience engaged and decrease the number of 'no-shows.'

Detailed Explanation
Email campaigns can vary widely depending on the purpose.

Each type serves a unique role in engaging the audience.
Examples & Analogies
Think of email campaigns like different types of messages you might send to your friends. A welcome email is like a friendly hello when they first arrive, newsletters are updates about your life, promotional emails might be an invitation to a sale at your favorite store, and re-engagement emails are similar to checking in on a friend who hasnβt responded lately.

Effective email writing follows certain best practices. This includes having a clear subject line, using personalized greetings, maintaining concise body content, and including a strong call-to-action (CTA). This structure helps capture attention and encourages recipients to take the desired action.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine sending a letter to a friend. If the envelope is generic and the handwriting is messy, they might ignore it. However, if it's beautifully addressed and engages them from the first glance, theyβre more likely to open it. Good email practices ensure your message stands out in a crowded inbox.
