Why you should use email marketing as part of your marketing strategy. August 5th, 2009.
The Worlds best salesman (as verified by the Guinness book of records) Joe Girard was a master of keeping in touch with his customers. He was a car salesman and every month he sent out a card to each of his customers. Joe Girard knew the value of keeping himself at the front of his customers minds, so when it came to buying their next car, they thought of him.
If you don’t keep in touch with your customers it is likely that your competitor will. If you are not in their mind just at the point when they are considering buying the service or product you offer – someone else will be.
Keeping in touch is key to growing your business.
It is 5 times dearer to find new customers than it is to retain existing customers (source: Peppers and Rogers). As finding new customers is expensive, it is good to concentrate on increasing the referrals and sales from your existing customers and email marketing is a great way to retain and profit from existing customers.
