Should you invest in emailing when you are a young company?

The e-mailing is a means of communication that involves sending emails in large numbers to its customers and prospects, to inform, to encourage the purchase or loyalty.

At a time when individuals and businesses are saturated with unsolicited e-mails, should we bet on e-mailing? The answer is yes, but you still have to learn how to use this technique to get positive results. Communicating with emailing cannot be improvised: if it is misused, this tool can quickly become counterproductive.

Here is some information that will help you communicate well with the e-mailing.

E-mailing: what use?

E-mailing is a suitable mode of communication in many situations:

  • To prospect and convince, in a logic of inbound marketing (click to find out more): it is about offering your prospects, and primarily visitors to your website, to receive your newsletters or marketing emails. By accepting your proposal, these future customers send a strong signal of attachment to the company, which you can largely exploit.
  • To retain customers already acquired: this is about maintaining and cultivating the link with your customers. Inform them, train them, interest them in your news, and offer them special offers and promotions.

How effective and what costs?

We will absolutely avoid sending e-mails to people who did not wish it: the practice of spamming is indeed completely outdated and could be very damaging to the image of your company.

The objective is therefore to build lists of contacts who have spontaneously agreed to receive your communications.

The 5 best software for an emailing campaign

To be effective, it will be necessary to use a specialized e-mailing platform accessible online. Registration on these platforms is quick and easy.

  • You will be able to import your addresses and prepare your emails using template letters or newsletters.
  • You can attach documents (attachments) and personalize your mailings according to the identity and contact details of the recipients.

Note that these platforms often offer free offers up to a certain number of emails.
