An email campaign one of the most effective ways of reaching potential customers, and if you know how to structure your email campaign properly to maximum effect it can be one of the best types of online marketing for your business.

Many businesses never embark on email campaigns because they feel that marketing emails might be considered as a form of spam. However, those for whom an email campaign is an essential part of marketing, have a definite advantage of the former group, and will gain a greater market share for their product.

Before you can even start you must decide on who you are going to send your emails to. Do you have a number of lists? If so, the same email might not be relevant to every list, and you have to decide which of them to target with your current campaign. If you have no list, then it is going to be difficult for your campaign to be effective. You can purchase lists, but many addresses on such lists are old, and in any case are unlikely to be motivated to purchasing your product, irrespective of the fact that your purchased list is purported to consist of people targeted to your type of business.

It is better by far to build your own opt-in list, and if you do not yet have one that should be your first step. It will take time, but is necessary for your success, so put your email campaign on the back burner for now and get that list started.
