The targeted audience can come from a current customer database, or businesses can buy lists of email addresses that fit their target audience.

Advantages of Email Marketing

There are lots of advantages of email marketing. It is cheaper than traditional ‘snail mail’ promotions. The sender doesn’t have printing and mailing costs and doesn’t have to wait as long for a response.

If consumers have joined a specific subscriber list, then it also provides a means of communicating with a large group of people who are interested in the sender’s services. This creates a higher uptake rate for those services than is seen with printed marketing.

Senders can see the exact return they are getting from their email campaign as responses can be tracked, eg by monitoring email opens and clicking on embedded links.

Email is environmentally friendly and less wasteful than ‘snail mail’, where huge amounts of paper are discarded every year and contribute to deforestation. Sending communications electronically is ethically responsible.

Email marketing can be used to reach a wide range of people with your message. According to Ofcom Adults' Media Use and Attitudes Report, over eight in 10 adults now go online using any type of device. Six in 10 adults use a smart phone and access mobile websites and even the over 65’s are twice as likely to use a smart phone as they were in 2012, so the vast majority of the UK adult population use the internet and have access to emails, making email an ideal commercial opportunity for businesses in all sectors.
