Which can then be set to automatically add contacts who click the tracked link to a new or existing list.”.

THE TIMELESSNESS OF EMAIL MARKETING

All content marketers should be aware that email is still a powerful, and effective digital marketing strategy. It’s persuasiveness is calculable, it’s good on ROI and it delivers strong conversion rates time and time again. It’s no wonder the social media age, email remains a necessary component of any good marketing strategy. Through email, content marketers can flex their storytelling abilities and connect with consumers. New tech features are becoming more commonly available. With this, marketers can request donations, ask for RSVPs, design emails for subscribers, and promote video content. However, like everything in the digital and content marketing universe, email marketing evolves right alongside consumer habits.

It’s no surprise that content marketers are wracking their brains trying to come up with new ways to reinvent their strategies to appeal for new generations of consumers exposed to mindbogglingly endless streams of content. It’s not nearly enough to go in with irrelevant and uninteresting subject lines, uninspired copy, and misplaced CTA’s and still expect consumers to stick around for more than a minute. Expectations for all forms of content to be stylish, concise, and memorable are higher and understanding and meeting those expectations with some persuasive and creative visual copy has become a necessity. By seeking the help of companies like Constant Contact, content marketers of all skill levels can ensure their email marketing campaigns are successful. If you’re going to invade a consumer’s inbox with a sales pitch, it better stand out from the rest. Make your content worth clicking on.
