Email marketing can be an effective tool to boost your marketing success. Whenever you sell to a customer, always ask if you can add them to your email contacts. Signing up should be as painless as you can make it for your customers; do not pester them for anything besides their email address and their name. Always let your customers know how often or at what times you send out emails, so that they can be on the lookout for them and never overwhelm them with unnecessary emails. Inform them that you are going to send only pertinent information and updates and not be trying to constantly solicit them. Address your customers personally through emails that you send to them by using an automated email software. Be sure to send your customers emails from time to time thanking them for using your service and offering discounts on other products. Increase your subscribers by advertising an offer that's only available by email. Finally, use emails as a way to gain feedback from your customers to evaluate your effectiveness.
