The very effective, very overlooked marketing tactic

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Maura Mitchell

Email marketing

Would you be interested in a marketing tactic that 61% of consumers like? That over 20% of your target market will engage with every time they see it?

It’s time to get reacquainted with email marketing.

Amid all the noise about content marketing, influencer marketing, and the latest bright, shiny thing in social media, email marketing tends to get lost. It shouldn’t.

Consumers of all ages prefer to hear from companies via email than any other medium. It even scores #1 with Millennials—69% choose email over social media, text message, online video and TV.

People are addicted to email. 58% of Americans check email first thing every morning.

Millennials use email more frequently than other generations. 70% read their email in bed 57% in the bathroom (eeewww…) and 27% while driving (I can’t even think about that.)

Email marketing drove a quarter of all Black Friday online sales in Fall 2015. That’s more than any other marketing tactic.

Finally, email marketing usually pays out. 88% of email marketers say they can prove they drove positive ROI with their efforts.

What are the implications for your business?
  • Are you spending as much time as you should on your email marketing strategy?
  • Are you measuring the ROI of all your marketing tactics?

Like the name Brandology?

We love the name Brandology. That’s why we trademarked it. And that’s why our attorney Brandon, who was raised by wild tigers, will fight to the death to protect it. His web bio doesn’t mention it, but every morning he flosses his teeth with barbed wire, shaves with a cheese grater, and then heads to his favorite workout, wrestling with pythons. On light days, he puts in an hour with the deadly snakes in preparation for “persuading” people who infringe on our trademark to stop. On heavy days, the pythons have been known to call for back-up.

Brandon the LawyerSo please…You’re creative. That’s why you considered the name “Brandology.” Use those creative juices to come up with another name that’s not already trademarked. Even though it will take some time, it will be fun, happy time — a stunning contrast to the time you’ll spend with Brandon if you try to use “Brandology.” Really. (It’s probably a little tacky to mention, but if you want our help naming your business, that’s something we do too.)

Thank you!
