Isn’t email dead? No way. Let’s look back at what email marketing is at its core: using email to build relationships with your audience. With a proper email marketing communication flow, you can send relevant information and convert prospects into customers.
An email marketing campaign is a coordinated set of email marketing messages delivered at intervals and designed to influence subscriber action to buy, sign up, download, or do something else.
People who are interested in your product or service can join your email list (also commonly known as newsletters) and – through email marketing communication – learn everything they need to know to make an informed buying decision.
If you build your email list with your target audience – people who can benefit from your products or services – you can be sure that email marketing will become a significant revenue stream for your business.
Email has been in use long before the Internet, which makes email marketing the first online marketing channel. Email marketing has been around for a long time, and it continues to hold the top spot when it comes to ROI.
We are so excited about our open rate results, because we on average have a 30 to even 50 percent open rate for our clients.
There are at least a few benefits of email marketing that make it the perfect choice for your digital marketing. And GetResponse offers a suite of email marketing tools designed to deliver tailor-made offers to your contacts when they’re most active. You can build an effective email marketing strategy in a just few simple steps, without breaking the bank.
To run professional email marketing campaigns, all you need is a basic strategy and the right tool that allows you to try and test various tactics.
Professional, cloud-based email marketing platforms like GetResponse offer plans based on the size of your email marketing list (number of contacts.) Basic plans start as low as $15 monthly, and provide features like email marketing, autoresponders, marketing automation, and landing pages – everything you need to start growing your business.

With over 500 expertly designed and fully-customizable email templates and 5,000 licensed images from Shutterstock, with GetResponse you can deploy professional campaigns in just a few clicks.
You can track performance and edit all assets to increase the overall impact.
You can collect relevant information from your contacts along the subscription process and use it to tailor the communication to their needs and preferences. Based on the data you can create segments of people sharing common traits. Use the information you gather to display dynamic content in your emails. Dynamic content is known as “smart HTML” and allows you to show different images, CTAs, and wording, depending on your customers’ preferences and actions.
Your subscribers will stay on your list as long as they see value in your communication. That’s why over time you can build a huge email list that brings impressive revenue – if you stick to email marketing best practices.
Knowing when you should send emails to your contacts has always been the eternal question for email marketers. And the answer is as unique as your subscribers. Each audience is different. To find the best time to reach your contacts, check your email analytics and implement GetResponse’s perfect timing delivery. This way your emails won’t get buried among other messages flooding your subscribers’ inboxes. With Perfect Timing, messages only hit the inbox when each contact is most active, and therefore likely to open and engage with your message.
A GetResponse Email Marketing Benchmarks report found that the biggest spike in average opens is at 1 AM – but fewer than 1% of all emails are sent then. The highest average click-through rates come through around 9 AM. But again, just 1% of campaigns are sent at that time. It’s likely because we open our emails when we start our day, and again after lunch, and those emails are then top of the inbox.
And with GetResponse’s proven 99% email deliverability, you can be confident that your emails are delivered to your contacts. GetResponse teams up with industry leaders like Return Path, Litmus, Port 25, SpamHaus, and SpamAssassin to lock in the best in email delivery technology.
When you build your list organically, ask people to confirm the subscription. This way you know that your contacts want to receive emails from your brand, which means that you’re sending emails to people who are really interested in your offer. Such an email list is considered high-quality and likely to bring better business results.
Email marketing services let you track statistics and monitor the results of your campaigns through advanced email analytics like opens, clicks, bounces, mobile view statistics, email comparisons, and more. Based on the collected information you can make small changes (e.g. design, copy, structure, or workflow) and optimize your email marketing program.
You can gain full control over your email marketing efforts by integrating your email marketing platform with online analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
You can control the performance of individual emails in the GetResponse email analytics panel and then track user behavior on your website. You can set goals for individual campaigns, track conversions, and measure the ROI.

In addition to new technologies like marketing automation, GetResponse offers autoresponders (also commonly known as drip campaigns). You can easily plan optimized email cycles adjusted to your audience profile, in a simple calendar-like tool.
According to the DMA (The Data & Marketing Association), most people prefer to be contacted by companies through email rather than other channels.
The results of the survey make perfect sense. Well-designed email marketing campaigns are relevant and non-intrusive – emails wait in the inbox and subscribers decide when’s the right moment to open and read an email.
When you combine email marketing with your blog and social media profiles, your audience can engage with your email content even when they’re not on your email list. And they can also potentially join your list from those channels as well (plus they’ll often use their best email address for their social profiles.)
With GetResponse RSS-to-email you can share you blog posts automatically via email and on social media. This helps you increase your blog’s reach and keep your fans and followers engaged.
Through social media integrations your subscribers can help spread the word about your emails using social share icons, and you can build your email list by posting signup forms and landing pages on your Facebook profile.
The percentage of email opens on mobile devices continues to grow. According to the GetResponse Email Marketing Benchmarks report, webmail opens make up 56.52% of all email opens, followed by mobile opens at 26%, and desktop opens at 16.99%. The responsive email design tool means you can make sure that your email looks great on any screen, automatically.
