The Benefits of Using Email Marketing
Email marketing is one of the most cost-effective marketing channels out there. In fact, Aweber’s recent email marketing report found that only 5% of North American businesses currently utilize email marketing, but that number is likely to increase in the next year.
In times past, email marketing was seen as a luxury available only to larger businesses. Today, the benefit of email marketing lies in its accessibility. With the click of a button, you can send an e-mail to your entire database and engage with your audience at little to no cost.
