Why Email Marketing is Thriving

As new technologies are developed, previous practices and techniques become outdated. Email marketing is different. This more traditional form of digital marketing still performs well in today’s modern environment, and here is why.

The Data:

An info graphic created by WebsiteBuilder gives stunning statistics about email marketing. According to the graphic, 71% of mobile purchases are the result of emails sent by companies. The graphic goes on to claim that emails deliver an ROI that is 3 times higher than that of social media.

This data clearly shows that email marketing is still influential and effective. Even small businesses can see huge growth with these strategies. So how can you better your email marketing to drive these same results?

The Potential:

Email marketing has evolved. In order to garner attention from potential customers and clients, your business needs to stay ahead of the game. There are plenty of email marketing programs that will allow you to more easily connect with users. As long as they provide a big enough database for your contacts, easy data export capabilities, and trendy templates, you should be set.

One of the most important things to remember when crafting your email is this: build a relationship. Not only do you want to interest and engage the user, but you also want them to become personally invested in you and what you have to say. This all comes from a connection.

The Logic:

Many consumers receive these emails because they asked to in some way or another. Whether they subscribed to a newsletter or followed a company on twitter, they gave permission to be contacted.

Since the user has already done most of the work, now all you have to do is make them care. Assist the consumer by helping them learn what they have to gain from working with your business.

Promotional offers and discounts are highly effective when used in email marketing. General information and updates within the company also help to keep subscribers involved. Whatever the recipient may be looking for, try to help them find it with your emails.

5 Reasons to Hire a Digital Marketing Agency

When it comes to making marketing decisions for an organization, the decision to hire “in house” or outsource marketing efforts can sometimes be a difficult decision. In the ever changing world of digital marketing, it’s in a company’s best interest to hire an agency to take on the work. The question then becomes “what are the major benefits of hiring a digital marketing agency?” Listed below are five crucial reasons as to why an organization should hire an agency for all of their digital marketing efforts.

1. Time:
Running the day to day operations of any business can be tiresome regardless of the industry. Therefore, allocating time to digital marketing efforts on top of daily tasks is in some cases impossible for certain companies. Digital agencies like us at Onimod Global dedicate all of our time to client needs and ensure high quality results.

2. Expertise:
Related to time allocation, most companies do not have the digital expertise that agencies possess. Having extensive knowledge of SEO, SEM, website development, social media marketing, and other digital skills is what agencies specialize in. Therefore, if you desire high quality results from your digital marketing efforts, hiring an agency is the way to go.

3. Cost Effective:
As a business owner it’s no secret that budgeting and spending money effectively can make or break a business. Hiring digital marketing employees in house has proven to be much more costly than outsourcing to an agency. It’s all about ROI. Digital marketing agencies place an extremely high emphasis on their clients’ return on investment.

4. Adaptability:
The world of digital marketing is continually changing as we know it. Having the capability to adapt to new software, applications, updates, etc. is something that agencies prioritize. Being able to constantly adapt also relates to time and expertise, as training and adapting to new technologies can get extensive.

5. Connections:
Some of the top digital marketing agencies in the field today have great connections with Google, Bing, and other organizations to stay ahead of the game. Being able to obtain inside information from Google for example is huge. Being a member of the Google Partners program is one of the major ways digital agencies set themselves apart from others.
