Using New Technologies In Email Marketing

Email marketing is one of the most effective ways to advertise your business and create a steady and increasing clientele. It is the method that is most preferred not only by small companies, but also by large corporate groups. It is considered the most cost-effective way to advertise a business and to engage potential customers. Until now we knew the classic version of email marketing, with an article or content written in the form of a newsletter or just a simple conventional email.

Nowadays online tools and software give us the chance to become more creative and even playful when it comes to email marketing, and with that we refer of course to the extended use of multimedia in emails. What does that mean? It means that we can now create emails that advertise our business which contain not only written content but also sound and motion. You can create really catchy emails by adding some graphics and some audio elements that will enhance the content and make it really stand out from every other email marketing campaign. This is actually crucial because an average user receives something like ten emails a day with some or the other kind of advertising content. It is important to create something that will make you look professional and different from everyone else.

You will probably think that this is not something that may be cost effective any more. Yes, it is a little more expensive than writing a simple email, but those emails exist in abundance, and will most likely end up in the deleted items section if not in the spam folder. When a reader opens a multimedia email, then all his senses work at once, as he can hear something, read the content, and see some gripping and maybe funny graphics that will draw his attention. It will make him want to read the full thing and click on the link provided to get to your website, thinking that whoever has sent those tasteful emails should be a good professional with some interesting and maybe useful service. Moreover, an already existing client will be more than happy to get some new and interesting information and will stay tuned for more. Don’t forget that the power of audio visual tools is really unlimited!

There are many multimedia developers and small companies that can do this work for you for a cost of course. Make sure that whatever you choose is not intrusive, does not include streaming videos with annoying buffering and does not need any particular software in order to be activated and played.
