Email marketing has a massive potential reach and most consumers have indicated that they prefer to be contacted by brands through email communications. According to a recent email study, 64 percent of marketers indicated that their company’s spend on email marketing were set to increase. Email is a great and cost-effective way to reach a high volume of consumers and through correct targeting, it can generate more leads than any other marketing channel. Social media, text messaging, likes, shares and tweets, have become increasingly popular but email still remains the most effective way to engage customers with targeted marketing communications. Mobile devices have also allowed consumers to receive email messages anytime, anywhere. Email clearly still plays a huge role in marketing communications.
Results from a recent marketing study:
77 percent of consumers listed email as their preferred channel for receiving opt-in marketing communications. Only 6 percent chose social media and 5 percent chose text messages. For every $1 spent on email marketing, the average return on investment (ROI) is $40.56, according to the Direct Marketing Association (DMA). Around a quarter of email accounts are corporate accounts, making email marketing well suited to B2B as well as direct consumer marketing.

Only 57 percent of consumers stated that they use Facebook daily, 14 percent stated they check Twitter daily and only 10 percent checks LinkedIn daily.
