Before you start your email campaign, you should develop an email marketing strategy that sets your goals and objectives for the campaign. Use email marketing to generate leads, increase sales and revenue, strengthen customer relationships and build brand awareness.

By offering your customers something of value such as a special discount, a free download, or more information about your products or services, customers are more willing to share their email address with you.
Reach potential new customers by renting a targeted, opt-in email list from an email list company. An experienced email list company can help you plan and manage your entire campaign from email planning to list selection to creative development to email delivery and tracking. Experienced email companies can often get the best rates on email list rentals.
