Email Marketing - Get Your Products & Services Out There

imageAs a designer who creates and sends out monthly email newsletters for ToFixIt!, an online referral service, I have the opportunity to touch many people's lives through this medium. ToFixIt! can fix, repair, or remodel anything in your home or office, fix, clean or modify your car, and provide even more great services you may need. Since they cater to such a broad demographic and geographic range of consumers, specialized email newsletters get sent out monthly to cover everyone they need to. ToFixIt!'s monthly email newsletters contain important articles, communications, updates and coupons that their valued clientele want to receive. There are corresponding links to each company on ToFixIt! who takes part in the newsletter. This way consumers can go directly to the web page they need with the corresponding information they need.

This model of email marketing can easily be tailored to suit your needs. Maybe you just want a campaign to send out an email promoting a weekly special, or specific product to your customers. A monthly newsletter is a common practice for many medium and large sized companies, and keeps their consumers well informed. Often, companies will have internet only promotions and coupons that are better than any offer you will find in their store.

At ROCKET MEDIA, we do things the right way. Spam is a buzz word in the internet world, and we strive to stay away from that. When your company carpet bombs anyone and everyone with mass emails that they don't need or want, you not only tarnish your company's image, but look out for watch agencies and possibly your Internet Service Provider to be giving you a call really soon about your practices. We use opt-in email lists where the end user willingly gives you their email address in exchange for more information and offers from you.

The design and layout of the email piece is important to catch the eye of the consumer you are catering to. You may notice that any email you have received as a result of signing up for updates and offers from any website is usually colorful, catchy, informative, and to the point. Having eye candy is great for the end user, so you may want a specific product image with your offer for example. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. Branding is key, so you definitely want your company represented with well placed logos and colors on your email marketing piece.

Another important aspect of the email campaign is to have a call to action. It helps to have a prominent button or graphic that links directly to the page you are promoting. Don't forget to have your company's contact information readily available for anyone to click through to your website, or give you a quick phone call. If your consumers don't know who, what, where, when, or why, you are just wasting everybody's time.

Remember, you can have the best looking marketing piece, but if you don't have any relevant content on it, no one will bother seeing what else you have to offer. Content is key. Make sure you get your point across and in a useful manner, but don't write a novel either. Newsletters, for example, can have decent sized articles in them that link on to bigger and better web pages. Or, you if you are promoting a single product or service, just a few descriptive lines will do the trick. Catchy slogans and titles on the page help send the message well.

Lastly, ROCKET MEDIA monitors behavioral tracking statistics of your email campaign for you. If you have no recordable goals with recordable results, you are just going around in circles. We can monitor your campaign and make modifications as needed the next time around to create a more effective ad campaign.

ROCKET MEDIA  provides a turnkey solution making it easy for you to begin your email marketing campaign. We handle everything including development, implementation and management. Email Marketing is an effective and relatively simple marketing strategy that will help get you in front of the consumers who want you to send them your best offers and services.
