Email Marketing For Retailers and Wholesalers

There are several reasons why you might want to consider email marketing if you are an independent retailer or wholesaler. The first is that it's a very easy way to follow up with your prospects and previous customers.

People that you've had contact with before are much easier to sell than people who have never heard of you. Of course, there are other ways you can contact these people. You can phone them or mail them a letter. But email is much cheaper and more efficient than these approaches.

There are tools, like iContact, that will send out your emails for you and track the results of your campaigns.

Of course, you don't have to use a tool like this. You could use your email client (Outlook, etc.) to do your email marketing, but using one of these tools can help you get better results.

Here's why. They will ensure that more of your email delivered. If you start sending out a lot of email yourself, you can end up getting yourself blacklisted by the spam filters. These tools pay attention to this and make sure it doesn't happen.

They also force you to follow all the anti-spam laws. You can easily end up spamming people if you don't know what you're doing. These tools will force you to include everything you're supposed to include and warn you if you're doing something you shouldn't.
