Every business and non-profit can benefit from email marketing. Why? Because it drives action, and it works. If you’re doing it correctly, the contacts on your email lists have opted in to receiving emails, so they want to hear from you! More than likely, these contacts have purchased from you before or contributed to your non-profit, so having consistent communication with these contacts can build stronger relationships, grow credibility, and ultimately drive revenue and profit.

Unfortunately, a lot of businesses do not utilize email marketing in their marketing strategies simply because they do not have the time to put in to learning best practices for effective emails or they do not have the budget, but it doesn’t have to be hard or expensive.
What if I told you that you could expand your business or grow your non-profit by taking 15 minutes a month to send an email and you can get started for free? Sound too good to be true?
Email marketing should not be underestimated. When done correctly, it can be one of the most cost effective marketing channels for your business. Email marketing can be used to drive revenue and profit, increase awareness, boost sales/repeat customers, etc, and it’s not expensive to get started.
