Email marketing is trackable, affordable and has a high return rate, making it valuable for small and medium-sized businesses. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to advertise via email.

Steps

  1. 1
    Prepare a list.
    • Email lists used for marketing gather the names and email addresses of all people interested in receiving communications from a business.
    • The easiest way to gather these addresses is by adding a field to your website that allows visitors to submit their names and email addresses.
  2. 2
    Decide on the frequency of emails you will be sending to your list. Once a week or every 2 weeks is a good starting point.

  3. 3
    Create a message to send to the list. Be brief and deliver a targeted message to your audience.
  4. 4
    Write any followup messages for your email campaign.
    • Followup messages provide emphasis on your product and remind customers of your business.
    • Send multiple different emails to pique readers' interest if you're trying to launch a specific deal or a new product.
  5. 5
    Proofread and polish your messages. Errors in spelling and grammar can be disastrous to your reputation.
  6. 6
    Send the first message to your list. Follow up according to your schedule.
  7. Advertisement

Warnings

  • Ask every customer if he or she wants to be contacted by your business. Including a customer that declines contact in your email campaign is a violation of anti-SPAM law and can result in massive fines.
