In this way we get a wider reach to target audience than by using print advertising, on which you can cut down the expenses on it. Many companies use TV and radio advertising but these marketing channels are losing ground among target customers. Сold calling gets on people’s nerves and put them off. As a result the same feelings customers have to the brands that are using these marketing channels.

If you want to be an early bird for your customers and please them with the latest news email-marketing is the right thing.

3. Time-saver
Feel free to use the content of your previous marketing campaigns. While the information is relevant and can attract new customers and be useful for your current customers use it. As they say, everything new is actually well-forgotten old. New content development is one of the most time-taking processes.

This information is vital to your following email campaigns. This can hardly be said about one-time TV, radio or online ads.
