Small and midsize businesses, typically face unique challenges when it comes to marketing. These include heavy competition and lower advertising budgets compared to larger businesses, which can make it difficult to figure out where to focus their advertising efforts to secure repeat customers.
Email serves as one of the most effective advertising tools for small and midsize businesses: 81% of small businesses use email to draw in customers, and 80% use it to retain those customers. For small and midsize businesses, the email marketing tools you use can make or break you.
The Importance of Email Marketing for Small and Midsize Businesses
There’s a reason email marketing is a key strategy for small and midsize businesses: More than 4 million people worldwide use email. Additionally, the return on investment for email marketing is huge. Studies show that for every dollar you spend on email marketing, you get a return of $40.
