Essential Components of a Successful Email Campaign
Though email has been with us since the inception of the digital marketing age, it remains one of the most cost-effective ways to build any business, including a law practice. Among the many benefits of a targeted and well-constructed email marketing campaign are:
- The ability to create personalized messages—The technology available today allows you to tailor your marketing efforts to different audiences, a benefit that’s much more difficult with other types of marketing, such as social media campaigns, print advertising, or even blogging.
- A fast response time—With most other marketing efforts, from print to digital campaigns, it can be weeks, months, or years before you start to see meaningful results. Email has an immediacy, as most of us view our emails throughout the day. With the right message targeted to the right person, you could get a response in minutes.
- Emails are easy to share, increasing the potential audience for your marketing—There are few things online that are easier than forwarding an email to a friend or acquaintance. Include language in your email that encourages the reader to share it.
- You can control the timing of your messaging—With email, it’s easy to control the timing of the transmission of your message, right down to the second. You can also control how often the message gets sent. If you have experience or knowledge in areas that are currently in the news, you may decide to increase the frequency of your emails.
- Email is easy to track and measure—With the available technology, it’s easy to know who opens your email and track what they do after viewing your message.
