Email marketing continues to be one of the most effective channels for generating new business, keeping current customers engaged between purchases, and nurturing leads throughout your sales funnel. In fact, 81% of small businesses rely on email as their primary channel for customer acquisition and 80% for retention.
However, many marketers struggle to get their emails noticed in an overcrowded inbox. They might try different email templates, subject lines, and content, but often find themselves frustrated when their efforts don’t yield the results they want.
The answer may lie in focusing on the fundamentals of email marketing. Creating personalized and targeted content, using marketing automation to make it scale, and using email segmentation to deliver highly relevant messages are all essential elements to a successful campaign. The Trailhead module, Email Marketing Strategies, lays out the best practices for building and executing a winning email strategy that will help you achieve your marketing goals.
Marketing emails come in many forms, from brand awareness campaigns to product offers and updates. While it’s important to consider all your options, experts commonly point to three or four types of marketing emails that are most common in an email marketing strategy:
Welcome and Reengagement Emails
Reengagement and welcome emails are the first step in your email marketing journey, enabling you to build relationships with your audience. By sending emails with valuable, relevant content that nurtures your audience through the customer journey, you can increase email engagement and retention rates. Emails that include a personalized subject line generate 50% higher open rates, and adding a video to an email increases click rates by 300% (Martech Advisor).
Promotional Emails
A promotional email is an email sent to your email list that directly promotes your company’s products or services. This type of email is highly effective in driving traffic and conversions because it reaches a targeted audience with content that is most likely to resonate with them.
Email marketing is an incredible tool that has the potential to drive massive amounts of revenue for your company. However, it’s important to take the time to understand your audience and use a combination of data-driven tactics to build the right email program for your business.

Patrick Norris is a full time resident of Kanab, Utah, having moved there during the covid pandemic. Upon arriving, he quickly realized what a beautiful tourist destination it was, right in the heart of Zion National Park Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell and the north Rim of the Grand Canyon. He saw that people had come from all over to escape the harsh pandemic restrictions and that many were actually working to grow online businesses in order to give them some freedom from their normal jobs back home. So in the spare time of his full time construction job, he decided to start a marketing venture offering online tools for others looking to start and grow an online presence.
