The question of how many emails you should be sending your customers seems quite simple. Yet its the answer is not so easy. We have spent years in marketing through emails but still, it is not an easy thing to answer.
If you ask an opinion regarding market strategies, I would say that it is not the number of emails that matters. There is no numerical figure that could act as a rule like two emails per month or one per week.
The basic factor which can determine this frequency is the “content” and the “value of content”. It is the content bring shared in an email that makes you send it every day (it is very strong) otherwise even once in a month will be too much.
Is Marketing Through Emails Still a Valid Strategy?
This question often intrigues our minds that is it a valid and relevant strategy or not? Apparently, considering power of videos and extremely trending social media, you may assume that Pinterest, Snapchat and Bacon technology have taken up the worlds. Yet reality seems to support different statistics.
According to research figures, email users are about to rise up to 29 billion till 2019. So how can you be negligent towards marketing this huge number? Moreover, customers relay more on the emails that they have signed up than the online videos banner and ads they see generally.
Specified emails extract their particular attention. So signed up emails maintain their importance.
