Email Marketing is as ‘old as the hills’, but its longevity is impressive for a reason – it worked then and it works now. Among the abounding methods of digital marketing, email marketing is the best at connecting you to leads and converting them into customers. Sorry all other methods, email marketing has you beat in consistent wins!
Here are some quick stats to illustrate:
- When it comes to email marketing, 49% of all emails open on mobile devices.
- The average expected ROI is $32 from every $1 you spend on email marketing.
- 81% of SMBs (small to medium-sized businesses) still rely on email as their primary acquisition channel?
- Research shows that adding video to your email can increase click rates by 300%.
- People send 102.6 trillion emails every year. These numbers are in the right direction, with 126.7 trillion expected by 2022.
We placed the first stat above at the top for a reason. That is, you cannot ignore mobile email marketing because of how quickly we are moving to mobile.
This trend isn’t going anywhere. As of the end of 2018, for example, mobile devices chewed up 51% of the market share, while desktops only represented 45%. It’s no longer optional to create campaigns that work well on mobile devices, it’s essential. The reason is simple: if your campaigns aren’t geared primarily for mobile, you’re missing out on a ton of potential customers, leads and sales.
Effective Email Marketing
But there’s email marketing, and there is effective email marketing. Effective campaigns must be cleverly written to grab attention in the inboxes you are competing in. You want your emails to create user engagement. You don’t want plain-Jane, newsletter-style emails anymore. Your content must be interactive.
And your lists are equally important – it’s important to know how to build a list full of targeted customers. It’s also important to optimize your emails to achieve the best open rates and click-through rates. What’s more, you should be automating the process of nurturing your leads so you can turn your possibilities into customers!

Using ADA-X’s mobile email tool, called ‘UpperMail’, for example, sending out Email Marketing campaigns to your contacts is fast and easy.
It works in 4 stages:
- Refined Sending – Using the advanced profiling tool, you can select the contacts want to receive your communication.
