Do you know the objective of your email campaign?

It is true that blogging and social media are attaining increasing prominence in B2B marketing. But that does not in any way mean that email marketing is losing out in the race. It remains an important and cost-effective solution to drive lead generation efforts and build long-lasting relationships with clients. A well-crafted marketing email can initiate sales conversation with valuable leads and also help you stay connected to your clients. So no marketer ever underestimates the value of email marketing.

The first thing to keep in mind while starting an email marketing strategy is to define the objectives of the whole exercise. This is the most important activity. Being very clear about what you want to accomplish through your email marketing campaign is very crucial in order to achieve success.

Being aware of your strengths and weaknesses is vital. If you have just started out, experimenting with email marketing, it is best to keep it simple. Give yourself a primary objective and build from there. Trying to do too much with a limited number of contacts runs the risk of abusing your list and turning off prospects before you even have a chance to win them over.

Define your objectives. What do you want to get out of your campaign?
Do you want to inform and educate your audience?
Do you want to introduce your offerings or enhance your brand and reputation?
Do you want more leads?
Do you want to renew relationships with existing clients?
Do you want more sales?

Each of these objectives can be met using the right type of email marketing. Once you have your primary objective determined, you can easily select which email marketing message will best fit your needs.
With the right email marketing tools in place, you can build a comprehensive email marketing strategy capable of achieving a variety of objectives.
