Episode 7 Summary: Email Marketing Basics for Small Business Owners

  • Email marketing should complement your online and offline marketing efforts in content and voice.
  • Email marketing can be used for selling, highlighting employees, company news, for preferred customer discounts, as a method to educate and help, and more.
  • Think of your email marketing as a communication channel and not just a sales channel.
  • Gather emails from visitors in-store, event attendees, pop-up offers on your website, passively on your website (footer or sidebar), through opt-in campaigns (e.g. ads to a landing page with a free offer), and more.
  • There are regulations and “musts” that you have to follow with your email list and how you handle those who subscribe and unsubscribe.
  • Unsubscribes are OK! And sometimes, even great for your list.
  • Website email pop-up pros and cons…there are multiple styles, and some provide a better visitor experience than others.
