Introduction:

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably been made aware of the benefits of using email to promote and grow your business, also known as email marketing. You know email marketing is the most effective form of digital marketing, but you discover that you don’t exactly know what to do with it, and it’s challenging to develop and implement an email marketing strategy.

If you need a refresher, or you may have been coming across this for the first time, I’ll make it brief: Email marketing has an ROI of $36 for every dollar spent. For comparison, the more popular option, social media marketing, has an ROI of $2.80 for every dollar spent. To boost your business with emailing services, here are some of the most effective platforms available right now to consider.

1. MailDrip:

MailDrip is an email service provider that allows you to do basic instant emails with drip marketing as an added advantage. This is important to note if you want to boost your business because companies that excel at drip campaigns generate 80 percent more sales at 33 percent lower costs. 

MailDrip gives you the (super) ability to automate some of the most conversion-driving emails and email campaigns. For example, welcome emails Welcome emails had an approximately 56.8% click-to-conversion rate achieved by e-commerce players in 2022 (source: Statista), and they create a good email first impression for your business. Without automation, you would have to send welcome emails manually as your mailing list grows, which is tiring, prone to errors, and likely to be sent at a later time than when the subscriber initially subscribed. These reduce the quality of the user’s experience and subsequently decrease the likelihood of a conversion. With MailDrip, however, you can set a condition for a subscriber to be sent a welcome email, which can be triggered and sent when someone chooses to sign up to receive emails from your business.

Welcome emails aren’t the only things that can be automated when you use MailDrip. As long as it’s an email, you have the option to automate and/or set up a drip campaign with MailDrip. You can also choose to make your emails targeted and personalized for each subscriber and create forms and landing pages for your customers right in your MailDrip account.

Additionally, due to MailDrip especially being customized for small to mid-sized businesses and creators, you can access helpful tutorials and insightful blogs on email marketing, explanations of email marketing terminologies, marketing tips, the latest email marketing trends, etc.
