Why is email marketing so successful?

Simply put, email marketing is a form of direct marketing which utilises electronic means to deliver commercial messages to an audience. At its core, it is focused on developing and maintaining long-term relationships with customers and used effectively, it has been shown to deliver one of the highest ROI (returns on investment) of any e-marketing activity.

To give you an example of its potential; according to research conducted by the Direct Marketing Association, email marketing generated an ROI of $43.62 for every dollar spent on it in 2009. As such, it outperforms all other direct marketing channels examined. With nearly every U.S. business and a professed 95% of people and households using email on a regular basis, it’s easy to see why email marketing campaigns are fast becoming the most popular form of company and product promotion.
