Email newsletters boosts sales

Despite scepticism, data shows that e-mail marketing remains one of the top methods of enticing new customers and retaining current ones.

All the indicators show email marketing is still on the rise. In April 2020,  102.6 trillion business emails were said to be sent every yearThis is expected to increase to 26.7 trillion by 2022. 

Be it a monthly or bi-monthly ‘newspaper’ style newsletter or a weekly email campaign – it works and it works well!

It is a great way to stay in your customers’ minds and allows you to keep your market retention by offering incentives to loyal customers.

 

 

Great Return on Investment

According to Monster Insights, a statistics monitoring company, stats from the Direct Marketing Association shows that email marketing provides an average of 4,300% return on investment for businesses using them in the United States alone.

Still popular marketing tool

Research from Campaign Monitor - a digital emailing platform - suggests that email newsletters are one of the most popular types of marketing methods. On average, a business email account receives at least 13 commercial related emails per day!

Crisis Communications and Public Relations

The recent COVID 19 disaster should be a wake-up call to many businesses – large and small.

A communications strategy could have potentially lessened the blow to many businesses – from coffee shops and malls to florists, mechanics, and large corporations. 

By keeping your clients up to date with your business and what you are doing to mitigate the risks will increase your brand loyalty and retain customers. 

This can be done through video notes, video messages, social media, press releases, podcasts and so much more. Sites such as De Zuid Afrikaan – and many others – allow us to distribute your news to the world. 

Despite this, we saw thousands of businesses fail to implement the basic strategies in the COVID crisis. 

Many just shut shop while others had no clue what to do. 

We design crisis communication strategies that you can keep on the back burner until needed.

With pre-written press statements and a message for online together with weekly and instant social media posts.

Web-Hosting & E-Mail Provider

Our hosting is done off-site. We rent white-label server space from an international provider – who gives us a discount.

We rent a portion of a server from an external provider.

This allows us complete access to ensure our clients get the best deals.

This also allows us to track website speeds and deal with issues that arise swiftly. These could include the website going down, clients’ email passwords that must be reset, and so on.

Content In All-Languages

While our content is primarily in English, as it is the universal language, we do understand that some business might want their site in German, Dutch, Polish, French, and Italian and so on. 

We offer two options, a translated website in the language of your choice or an add-on that will allow the visitor to adjust the site language to the preferred choice.

We do have translators who can rewrite the copy.

This would impact the SEO and other campaigns – all of which can be adjusted.
