💌 Sending A Marketing Email | A Beginners Step By Step Instructions And Video Tutorial

Justin Babcock • December 28, 2020

Email marketing is the cornerstone of any successful Content Marketing strategy.

Why?


Because, inevitably, people will show interest in your product or service but don't buy. You don't want to pester them with emails saying, "are you ready now" and "what else do you need from me." However, you want to stay top of mind, so they don't go somewhere else.


So, how do you manage your lead without pestering them?


Well, you can email your lead helpful information, tips, and strategies. Your brand will stay in front of your lead, and your useful emails will build trust. When your lead is ready to buy, they will reach out to you first.


We're probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but you haven't started email marketing for one of two reasons. 


1) you don't know how to send a marketing email

2) you don't know what to write


No worries, Below are step by step instructions for sending an email. If you need to figure out what to write, check out our blog about Writing Formulas.
