Email Marketing
Email marketing may seem self explanatory, however the DDM team has found that, in general, email campaigns need significant attention for improvement and optimization. ​
It is common for businesses to create or outsource email campaigns as it requires a variety of collaboration from multiple skill sets such as: creative, data analytics, coordination, management, and compliance. Learn more about email marketing below.
Email marketing done differently
The difference maker philosophy is all about utilizing data constructively. When you build up your customer list, a warehouse of information is created about real people who buy your products and/or services. There is a plethora of information about your future business hidden within your data and information you’ve collected about your previous customers. ​
Just as you would treat each customer as an individual either in your store, over the phone, or when chatting to them via instant message or email, we believe that each customer should be marketed to individually because each customer is inherently different with differing needs at different times.

There are many moving parts to an email marketing campaign, and each difference maker understands as we’ve launched 1000s of them collectively! Creative ad copy and relevant content are fundamental when composing email strategy. Adaptivity is also very important because emails are a direct 1 to 1 communication with your customers, so it’s imperative that your customers, or potential customers, receive the most accurate and up to date information regarding your products, services, and industry. Also, your campaigns are more relevant if they are composed of information and resources that are current, forward thinking, and helpful to your audience.
The constant barrage
Oftentimes, we hear commonly that people are barraged by information flooding into their inbox. There's a need to standout, but how can we when the average office worker receives 121 emails per day? (LifeWire)
