I personally believe that the emails are most poorly utilized, internet marketing services, and most unrightfully misunderstood too. I know of many people who are very annoyed by this technique of marketing and consider it to be a spam too. But, to tell you the fact, it is not a spam technique rather it can be quite useful both to the receiver and the sender.

But before you begin strategizing your email marketing plan, I thought of telling you a few issues related to the email marketing technique and tell you how it can be resolved and used to provide best results to your internet marketing services.

One drawback of the email marketing plan is that most email service providers classify such mails as spasm and they are delivered in the recipient’s spam folder. In order to ensure that your mails are delivered to their inbox, and that they are read by your users, it is better that you use good email software that should resolve your delivery issue. Return Path is one such software I can suggest.

If you ask for my suggestion, I would say that I like emails that are personalized than those that are centralized. What I mean to say here is, when you are sending a mail to your customer try and speak to them specifically about what their preferences are and what they have been looking for. For instance if you can track what product they purchased from you, you can send them promotional mails on similar or related products or on the upgraded version of the same. Believe me guys this trick works wonders on internet marketing, as the recipients realize that you are keeping track of their activities and that they are important to you.

Ironically, Lorraine goes through the same thing with people who simply want a bit of design advice. It’s amazing that although we are in two completely different industries, there is a common thread.

Recently, I had a conversation with a lawyer who has the “I just need a minute of your time to ask you a question” experience when she goes to social gatherings. Inevitably, someone will corner her and say, “I just have this one question.”
