Email Marketing Services

Email is and continues to be a useful digital channel for marketing and relationship-building. Email marketing can help your business reach potential customers, retain existing customers, provide information and updates to your audience, and sell your products and services. Unlike most marketing channels, emails are sent to customers and potential customers who have opted to receive your emails.

Email marketing doesn’t simply involve sending promotional emails. Businesses have to send valuable emails to the right people at the right time. This means that businesses have to collect email addresses, generate valuable email content, and segment the email audience. Efficient email marketing helps businesses send emails to the right customers at the right time and helps customers along the business’s marketing funnel.

At Technoholic, our Email Marketing Services help your business with the email marketing lifecycle. This includes the planning, creation, management, automation, and optimization of email campaigns. Our email campaigns are customer-centric and focus on achieving your business goals using audience research, content, email design, automation, segmentation, personalization, and performance analysis.

What is Email Marketing?

Email marketing is the practice of sending emails to a targeted audience. Email marketing campaigns can include advertisements, informative emails, lead-generating emails, and emails that promote and sell your services. Email marketing helps businesses retain and develop relationships with their customers.

Email marketing can be used to send different types of emails to customers to inform them of new products and services. Email marketing can also be used to provide customers with educational content and can be used to send special offers.

Elements of an effective email marketing plan include:

  • Strategic planning for email campaigns.
  • Management of subscriber lists.
  • Segmentation of target audiences.
  • Writing of email content.
  • Design of email templates.
  • Elements of personalization.
  • Customer journey automation.
  • Lead nurturing techniques.
  • Management of newsletters.
  • Analysis of marketing metrics.

At Technoholic, we customize email strategies to fit specific audiences, business models, their communication goals, and fit within the customer journey.

The Importance of Email Marketing to a Business

For a business to meet prospects and customers where they are, email marketing is the answer. Not all prospects are ready to buy at the moment of their website visit, and email marketing offers a channel for business to sustain their interest through relevant content.

Email marketing is an effective tool for prospects and customers to stay connected to a business even after a purchase has been made, and offers the business a means for ongoing communication to sustain their interest through updates, information and support.

Email marketing is a business tool for:

  • Fostering potential customers.
  • Providing ongoing customer interaction.
  • Selling products and services.
  • Increasing traffic to a website.
  • Assisting in lead generation.
  • Increasing interaction with customers.
  • Providing updates for the business.
  • Increasing recognition for the business.
  • Providing communication tailored to the customer.

Email marketing is about staying relevant to your customers. Sending a blanket email to all subscribers is no substitute for sending tailored emails that fit the customer journey.

Our Email Marketing Services

All businesses, start-ups and eCommerce come with their own unique challenges, and Technoholic provides email marketing solutions that are tailored to meet those challenges.

Email Marketing Strategy

The first step in any successful email campaign is strategy. Businesses should know their target market and their goals in order to build successful email campaigns. Businesses should also know what content their target market will find the most valuable.

The following elements can be the focus of your email marketing strategy.

  • Target audience
  • Goals of the business
  • Customer journey
  • How often the campaign will run
  • Topics of the emails
  • How the content will be delivered
  • How the audience will be segmented
  • How automation will be used
  • How results will be measured

Having a detailed email marketing strategy creates email campaigns that align with the goals of the business and the overall marketing strategy.

Email Campaign Management

Every business will have different email campaigns to meet the different goals of the business. Some email campaigns may be designed to increase awareness of a business and its offerings, while other campaigns may have a different goal such as promoting a specific product or service, a business event, or a limited time offer.

Email campaign management will typically include the following.

  • Campaign planning
  • Selecting the audience
  • Creating the email content
  • Designing the email
  • Email scheduling
  • Campaign testing
  • Deploying the email
  • Monitoring the results

Having a well-defined goal for each campaign helps ensure the message is relevant and focused.

Management of Newsletters

A business is able to email its subscribers on a regular basis with valuable content to increase customer engagement through newsletters. Valuable newsletters do not serve as a platform for constant advertising.

A newsletter may contain.

  • Company updates or announcements
  • Industry updates
  • Educational articles or tips
  • New products or offerings
  • Sales

Consistent newsletters help businesses engage their subscribers and maintain a relationship with them.

Email Content Writing

Content quality for emails helps subscribers to comprehend and yield to a campaign. Clarity, brevity, relevance, and intentionality need to be the key elements of every email message.

Email content writing includes:

  • Subject lines
  • Preview text
  • Intro
  • Main message
  • Product or service info
  • Value or benefits
  • Extras
  • CTA
  • Sign off

The brand voice, audience, industry and type of campaign are the elements which dictate the style of writing.

Email Template Design

Professionally designed email templates provide a cohesive experience of a brand. With a well designed email template, users can identify the important content and messages are legible when read on any device.

Email template design can provide:

  • Brand colors
  • Logo placement
  • Typography
  • Images
  • Product sections
  • Buttons
  • Content blocks
  • Footer info

Templates can be built for newsletters, emails for promotions, product announcements, lead nurturing, and any other communications of business which recur.

Responsive Email Design

Due to the high number of users that read emails on their mobile devices, email campaigns should be created with an awareness of the varying screen sizes.

Responsive design emails are focused on the message that you convey.

Key factors include:

  • Layouts that are mobile friendly
  • Typography that is legible
  • Images that are appropriately sized
  • Buttons that are easily actionable
  • Ample spacing
  • Content that is well organized
  • Content blocks that are responsive

Email subscribers, regardless of device, can have a positive email experience.

Email List Management

The success of an email marketing campaign is highly dependent on the subscriber list. Businesses need to efficiently and purposefully manage the collection and segmentation of subscriber data.

Email list management involves:

  • Subscriber organization
  • List segmentation
  • Removing duplicates
  • Preference management
  • Unsubscribe handling
  • Data organization

Companies must build email lists using approved, permission-based methods. They must also follow the applicable email marketing rules and privacy regulations.

Email list segmentation

Subscribers do not all share the same interests or needs. Businesses must be able to separate their audience into different relevant groups to be able to send communications that are relevant to that group.

Segments can be based on:

  • Customer type
  • Location
  • Purchase history
  • Website activity
  • Email activity
  • Interest in products
  • Lead status
  • Customer lifecycle stage

As an illustration, an email funnel may be set up so that a new subscriber gets a series of emails designed to provide them the email marketing basics, while an existing customer gets a series of emails designed to provide them company-specific product updates.

Email personalization

Personalized communications move emails closer to individual subscriber relevance, as opposed to treating the entire audience as a single group. Customizations of communication can be based on information a business has.

Some of these customizations may be:

  • Subscriber name
  • Product interests
  • Previous purchases
  • Relevant recommendations
  • Customer type
  • Location
  • Previous interactions

Personalization should move emails closer to individual relevance. Sending a generic email and inserting a subscriber’s name should not be the goal.

Email automation

Email automation makes it possible for businesses to set up communications to be sent based on specific criteria. A big time saver, this also helps maintain a high level of communication with customers.

An example of this is an automated welcome email that a business may send to new subscribers as the first email of a new email sequence.

Email automation supports many functions, including:

  • welcome emails
  • lead nurturing
  • follow-ups
  • onboarding
  • recommending products
  • re-engagement
  • reminders
  • communicating after purchases

Automation be tailored to a business’s customer journey.

Welcome Email Campaigns

Welcome emails are the first direct communication a subscriber gets as a member of the email list. Welcome emails introduce the brand and explain what new members can expect.

A welcome series can be made up of the following:

  • welcome message
  • brand intro
  • offering
  • resources
  • links
  • subscriber perks
  • next step CTA

Well planned out and written welcome series offers subscribers expectations, and helps build the brand’s relationship with the subscriber.

Lead Nurturing Email Campaigns

Leads don’t have to be sales ready right away. Lead nurturing helps a business stay connected to leads and educate them by sending them a series of relevant emails.

Nurture campaigns can have educational content, industry info, case studies, product descriptions, FAQs, and other resources.

Nurturing leads means a business can:

  • educate prospects
  • answer key questions
  • grow brand familiarity
  • explain the product
  • keep leads engaged
  • stimulate leads to take action

The content and frequency of emails should be appropriate to the audience and customer journey.

Promotional Email Marketing

Promotional emails center around specific offers, products, services, launches, events, or campaigns. When writing these emails, be sure to highlight the main value proposition without adding fluff.

Promotional emails can assist with:

  • New products
  • Advertised services
  • Holidays
  • Bargains
  • Activities
  • Time-sensitive promotions
  • New updates

Promotional communications can be improved with good design elements such as a clear, appropriate, and engaging message with a relevant audience, strong visual hierarchy, and a call to action.

E-commerce Email Marketing

E-commerce companies can sustain customer relationships and develop new ones with email marketing throughout the customer lifecycle.

E-commerce email marketing includes:

  • Announcing new products
  • Making product suggestions
  • Sales
  • Onboarding new customers
  • Communicating after purchases
  • Educating about products
  • Encouraging customers to return to the company

Customer lifecycle and email marketing strategy can be based on customer behavior, the purchase cycle, the products the company sells, and the company’s goals.

Re-Engagement Email Campaigns

Subscribers can become inactive to emails even if they were once engaged. Re-engagement campaigns can determine if former email subscribers are still interested in receiving company communications.

Re-engagement campaigns can include:

  • New offerings
  • New resources
  • Updated preferences
  • New, special offers

The focus should be placed on offering former email subscribers a value proposition in order to encourage them to engage the emails. The campaigns cannot be focused on sending emails with repeated offers.

Email A/B Testing

The email marketing strategy is based on the different elements of emails that are tested to determine which version is preferred by the customers. The different elements are:

  • A call to action
  • Emails
  • Images
  • Layouts
  • Sending times
  • Subject lines
  • Button placement

Testing should be based on a clear objective and a sufficient sample size. The results can be used to guide marketing campaigns.

Email Analytics & Reporting

To remain competitive, it is critical for every business to analyze how each subscriber engages with the business’s email campaign. This analysis will also show the business where email campaign improvements are necessary.

Depending on the campaign and platform, performance analysis may involve:

  • Delivery Rate
  • Opens
  • Clicks
  • Click Through Rate
  • Conversions
  • Unsubscribes
  • Engagement pattern
  • Comparative Campaign analysis

Analytics identify the content, audience, and format of the campaigns with the greatest engagement.

Email marketing can help with:

  • SEO and content marketing
