Why Use Email Marketing?
Email marketing is, as the name suggests, the use of email in marketing communications. It’s a form of direct marketing which uses electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or fund raising messages to an audience. It is the advertisement of a product, service, or brand through electronic mail.
Email marketing is popular because sending email is much cheaper than most other forms of communication. It lets you deliver your message to the people, unlike a website, where you have to attract the people to your message.
Email marketing has proven very successful for those who use it correctly. It is often reported as second only to search engine advertising as the most effective online marketing tactic and is a time tested proven method of mass marketing.
Email marketing is the most effective way to build an online business. One reason for this is it has a better return on investment than nearly any other form of online marketing.
Email addresses should only be collected from readers who are willing to submit them and you should never release that email address to anyone else for any reason. Email marketing can be a respectable and lucrative method for promoting your products online as long as you are responsible and vigilant when it comes to avoiding spam. Spam is the use of mailing lists to blanket Usenet groups or private email boxes with indiscriminate, unsolicited messages of a promotional nature.
Email marketing is also green since no paper or chemicals are involved in the process. It is an excellent way to stay in touch with your clients to ensure that you get the best possible response to your marketing campaign.
Email is often more effective than the traditional form of direct mail and is much cheaper thus allowing you to send more email more often. This helps create a real bond with your clients or potential customers.
Email list rental is often heralded as an excellent way to instantly expand your email opt-in list. But rented lists can be a waste of time if you haven’t done your research. You have to ensure that the list you are renting is made up of recipients who are interested in what you have to offer. One way of making sure your prospective clients are interested is to build your own list.
It’s actually relatively easy to ensure that the email address lists you use or build yourself are permission based. If you’ve ever tried to build a mailing list online or already have one, you would know that building a relationship with your subscribers is one of the keys to having a responsive list.
If you continuously send solid information to your subscribers, they will be more inclined to stay on your list. Building a sold email list can be just as important to driving traffic to your website as any other marketing technique you employ.
Email marketing is simply one of the most efficient forms of communication you can utilize with your prospective clients and existing customers. Email marketing is the perfect tool for anyone looking to increase exposure for their products or services in a cost effective and time efficient way.
It is one of the most effective of all online marketing tactics and can be crucial to your online advertising success. Email marketing is still one of the most effective Internet Marketing strategies used today.

This is my new Blog and having been away from it for a couple of years it’s great to be back because I really enjoy it. Just to tell you something about myself, my wife and I are currently working with Autistic adults in the state of Maine and we love it. Although we’re from Canada, originally from Newfoundland, this is our second stint working in Maine and the two men we are working with this time around are great. We’ve become very attached to these young men and we consider ourselves to be a family. Actually our job title is that of Therapeutic Foster Parents and of course we take it very seriously. One of the main reasons we take it so seriously is that we are advocates for these young men because at times they can’t speak for themselves.
The sad part about our job here in Maine is that we have to leave the country after 18 months. The reason for this being the company who hired us and sponsored us into the US could only get us into the country by way of a Training Visa with the main condition being we have to leave after 18 months. We were here under the same circumstances in 2007 and had to leave the guys we were caring for at that time at the end of 2008.
This of course was very difficult for the three men we were working with and living with at the time and it was also very difficult for us because we became very attached and as I mentioned earlier we became a family. One of the main benefits of coming back is that we get to see the guys we worked with on our first visit and we also get to do what we enjoy which is caring for and helping these young men.
Because of our love for what we do and for the people we work with I will be dedicating a Page on this website to Autism and to the people who live with it on a daily basis. I’m hoping this will help educate people who aren’t familiar with what is fast becoming a global concern and help to raise funds for research.
The other objective of this website is to offer Home Business advice and present opportunities to people who are interested in making a legitimate living by working from home.
I’m hoping to have a great deal of relevant content added soon and I hope people will make it a point to visit often. Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to read this information.
The following two videos should give you some idea of the majestic beauty of Newfoundland:
I’ve added a video below, one of which is actually an advertisement by a local brewery located in St. John’s, Newfoundland which is where I’m from. But it contains some great shots of the area and I like to think portrays what we, as Newfoundlanders, are all about: People who care about people, who work hard and play hard but aren’t afraid to laugh at ourselves. In the following videos you will see many examples of this outlook on life as portrayed by local entertainers performing at what we call “Kitchen Parties”.
These are events where neighbours come together to have a few drinks and entertain one another through song and dance. Please take the time to have a look.
