Effective Local Business Web Marketing
Email marketing is a great communication tool if used properly. An email campaign consists of one or more emails sent to a group of recipients who have opted in to an email list. A timed or “drip” campaign will send out emails at regular intervals (perhaps once per week). The stream of timed emails will be triggered by a specific action by each recipient – usually by the recipient signing up to receive the emails. This cycle may be repeated for a specified number of iterations.

- Design Newsletter: After getting the newsletter content from client and also analyzing the different segments, we will start creating the design of newsletter. We will send the design mockups of the newsletter for client approval. We will add the unsubscribe button on our newsletter so that if any recipients want to quit receiving the newsletter then he/she can do it through submitting hi/her email address on unsubscribe forum.
- Test before you send: We will send the final newsletter to client for his/her approval. Only After getting the client approval, we will blast it to searched email IDs.
