Getting into conversation with your customers
Email marketing is just spam, right?
Wrong!
Email campaigning is still one of the most effective and authentic ways to make a connection with your clients to keep your business thriving. It turns into spam if you do not put any effort into it, or don’t have a strategy that feels human, instead of a robot bashing about in their inboxes. Staying in touch with your customers, future, past, and present is vital in order to keep those customers from forgetting about you and your services. Today, email marketing is still one of the most effective marketing strategies that keep potential and past customers updated with everything that you are offering. Chalk n’ Cheese is one of the Auckland experts on the matter and can help you with results-driven email marketing solutions.

Making connections in today's digital world
If used intelligently, email marketing can be both a profit-building and relationship-building tool. As a business owner, you should strive to use email strategies to build a warm and authentic relationship with your subscribers instead of spamming them with irrelevant junk mail. Providing your customers with valuable and useful information makes sure your potential customers do not hit the 'unsubscribe' button. Show them the worth you bring to their lives, even if it is just to entertain them with good content until your next pitch is ready. Email marketing has to benefit your customers, not just your business. They need to see the benefits of opening your emails and then clicking on the links that are in the emails, and then purchasing the product that was on the link that was in the email... (You get the idea) They have to know why they should! By keeping this golden rule in mind, your clients will not only read your emails regularly but also, they will look forward to hearing from you every time.
Your Business Deserves This
What is email marketing?
You can’t merely win their hearts by sending greeting cards to your clients, and that's a teeny bit old-fashioned these days. Email marketing is an accessible and useful marketing strategy that reaches all of your online customers, and when emails are given willingly, it's non-invasive and a welcome correspondence. Useful and informative marketing emails can convert a new client into potential customers and turn a one-time buyer into loyal, committed fans. Email marketing is the act of targeting customers through a commercial message with the goal being to increase customer loyalty, drive sales, and communicate essential information. Modern email marketing is based on the principles of segmentation, consent, and personalisation.
The first steps
The First Steps
There are many ways you can get started with email marketing. Here are some of the common ones –
Start With Your List
It’s quite simple to start collecting potential leads right away. Even without an email marketing service in place, you can begin building your email list of potential clients and reach out to leads.

Everyone appreciates customised service, so get customising!
Boost Brand Awareness
It’s all very well and good paying for tons of advertising to create awareness of your products, and then shoving them out in front of people. You’ll probably even get some sales this way – sure. Here at Chalk n Cheese, we believe creating awareness of a brand and its products are much more involved than that.
Brands are not just businesses, brands are an idea. Brands encapsulate an ideal that our customers want to strive for, a bigger picture than just a product or service. When you create a business, you choose what you’re selling. When you create a brand, you create the ideal that your products help make a reality. For example, if you want mothers to buy your products aimed at children, you have to sell the idea that by buying these particular products she will become the best mother she can possibly be, and is giving her child the best start in life. It’s a bigger picture than just getting her to buy a sippy cup that her child will 100% throw at the floor more than once.
Building awareness of your brand is making sure you know what your brand is first and what you want it to stand for. By knowing what makes your brand tick, you can target the customers you think will most benefit from being affiliated with your brand’s ideals.
Promoting Your Content
Using email marketing to share relevant imagery, blog content, and useful assets with your potential customers is an important way to keep that awareness growing for your brand. Couple this with advertising across different platforms and you’re onto a winner. Regular promotion of content is key to keeping your future customers interested and ready to buy now.
Generating Leads
Enticing your audience and subscribers to provide their personal information in exchange for something they find valuable via email marketing is a nifty little trick. In exchange for a coupon, maybe they need to answer 3 simple shopping preference questions, completely customisable so you can ask the questions you need answering. Once you have snippets of information from your potential clients, you have leads to work with, and insight on how to pitch products to them.
Market Your Products
Using email marketing, you can remind your potential customers why they should choose your business over the competition. Sliding into their inbox with little updates on your products and why they are relevant to your customer is an easy way to not be forgotten and passed over for a more active competitor.
Nurture Leads
Before you press send on that email, make sure you are double-checking that there is something in it for your customer. Nurturing them means taking care of them, looking after their best interests, and giving them something they want. The more you entertain, educate, and delight your list of email leads, the more likely they are to trust you and want to invest in your brand.
