Benefits of Email Marketing for Small Businesses

(With Real Examples)

This blog post (link at button below) from Constant Contact offers a long list of useful tips for your email marketing campaigns. It also offers statistics proving that email marketing is still a good investment!


In my own experience as a small business owner, I found I had the most success when my email campaigns were consistent* and provided value. If you only sell products or services in your emails, people will stop interacting - and may even unsubscribe.


Make sure your messages are something your customer will want to open. Make your branding clear so they know who is sending the email, your design clean and easy to read, and offer ways to interact with the email (links, survey, etc.).

Benefits of Email Marketing - with Real Life Examples

*Speaking of "consistent" - it only took me until April to miss my 2022 goal of two emails each month! But I'm not going to fret, I've already started drafts of my May emails so all I have to do is go in and finish them when I'm ready to send. I suggest you do the same - don't let missing a goal once set you back, put it behind you and continue on.

Let's Talk About Content

Writing valuable content is hard. Whether it's for social media, a blog, or creating a presentation, it's a struggle for everyone. Here's a tip for blogging and writing for social media when you're stuck for content:


When you find articles you enjoy, write about why you liked it, what you learned from it, how you might apply what you learned. And be sure to include the link to the article. That's it. You're done.
