Effective Email Marketing
| Email is still the most effective
one-to-one marketing channel, despite the explosion
of spam that afflicts the internet.
But spam certainly does make the professional
marketer's task more challenging. You now have to find
your way through the minefield of spam filters to the
recipient's inbox, and then for your subject line to get
attention and your email opened, before you can get your message across. |
But we can help by taking on the challenge for
you, as a turnkey project working with your prepared sales
message, or provide you with help and tools to do it yourself,
or stages in between.
To do it yourself, consider these notes which are extracted from Dr Wilson's
