By opening
and reading this email, you have just demonstrated the effectiveness of email
marketing. By doing so, you are re-exposed to our brand, introduced to
additional services on offer and are more likely to trust Netregistry as
knowledgeable partners in the online marketing field.
Now imagine
how a similar email marketing campaign through a monthly newsletter of balanced
product information and relevant industry articles could produce the same
results in your customer base.
Netregistry
can give you those results with our new copywriting service, producing professionally written articles for you to use in your own email newsletter,
just like this one, every month.
Do you want
to increase repeat business from people who have already proven their
purchasing power, promote brand loyalty and build a strong sense of community
between you and your customers?
Why Does Email Marketing Work?
True
customer-based email marketing – not spam – now makes up an estimated 27% of a
users inbox. This illustrates how receptive your previous customers are to
receiving email marketing from you!
And there
are obvious price benefits to producing an email campaign instead of a direct
mail advertisement with the removal of printing and delivery costs.
So if the
average internet user is willing to receive such a high amount of marketing
material on a regular basis, and email marketing is far more cost efficient
than traditional direct mail, doesn’t it make sense to analyse ways of
improving the performance and click through of this marketing?
Are You Talking to Your Best
Customers Enough?
Let’s
crunch some numbers.
It is a
well established economic fact that, for most businesses, 80% of their sales
will come from 20% of their customer base. For some, the ratio is closer to 90
/ 10. What this means is that the business coming from a small number of established
customers usually far outweighs that from new customer acquisitions. Yet most
businesses spend 80% of their effort and marketing budget chasing new customers
that will most likely only produce 20% of their business income, a complete
reversal of that ratio.
Why are
companies only spending 20% of their time talking to their best customers? Because
the common assumption is that sales growth is generated by converting new
customers. Genuine sales growth is almost always produced by maximising results
from an established customer base, and that means giving them more attention.
Wouldn’t it
be better for your business if you could increase business from this group to
85% or 90% of your sales? By doing so, you would be relieving pressure
elsewhere in your business and reducing the need for so much effort on
customers that don’t have a major impact on your bottom line.
Understanding
this ratio and managing resources accordingly is the secret of many of the most
successful businesses. Email marketing is one way of building sales from your
best customers – the 20% that make up 80% of your business – and doesn’t that
make more sense?
Email Marketing Means Repeat
Business
Email
marketing should not be an afterthought to your online marketing campaign. It
can become the jewel in your business crown as you build strong repeat business
and powerful brand recognition for a much clearer return on investment than
other more popular areas of online marketing.
