 Do you feel that you’ve been sending the same email contents over and over again?
If you bore your audience with your emails, there’s no way they are going to open your next email promotions. When email marketing used properly, it will build some sort of special relationship with your audience which made the decision to buy from you easier for them. In fact, most of my clients are the results of me sending regular emails that made them trust and hired me.
