Everything You Need to Know About Email Service Providers"},"content":{"rendered":"

Research has shown that it takes around eight touchpoints<\/a> to make a sale. This can be daunting for any salesperson as follow-ups take time and effort. This is one of the many reasons that email marketing<\/a> is such an efficient strategy.<\/p>\n

Having the ability to contact your prospects or your current customers in a relatively unintrusive way (especially compared to phone calls), is essential to increasing your sales, customer engagement, and retention. These emails keep you top of mind with customers and improve brand awareness.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

While it may seem simple enough to use your regular email system in the beginning when business is small and clients and prospects are few and far between, the thought of sending individual emails to people when you have a large contact list is time-consuming and unnecessary. In order to handle the volume of emails you\u2019ll be sending out, you need to enlist the help of an email service provider (ESP).<\/p>\n

Email Service Providers<\/h2>\n

An email service provider is software that allows you to send email campaigns to a list of subscribers. It is a set of tools for email marketing that stores email addresses and sends emails. However, depending on your needs, ESP companies offer a variety of different functionalities to help you achieve your goals.<\/p>\n

Some of these can include:<\/p>\n

Email and marketing automation
\n Lead capture forms
\n A\/B testing for email subject lines and email content
\n Website tracking
\n Audience Segmentation <\/p>\n

While there are a number of options to choose from, you\u2019ll want to research ESPs before committing to one. Look for a program that has:<\/p>\n

A mobile-friendly design:<\/strong> 85% of users<\/a> say that smartphones are their primary device for checking email. This means that if you want your customers and prospects to get the most out of your marketing efforts, every email you send must be suitable for mobile.
\n Email templates:<\/strong> Options are great when you are designing your email campaigns. There should be several ready-made templates to choose from and have the option to get design support from a professional when you need something different.
\n Integrations with other systems:<\/strong> Chances are you work in a number of software programs to complete your work. An ESP should integrate with CRM and CMS systems, project management programs, and more.
\n Email series capabilities:<\/strong> These automated programs ensure new subscribers are nurtured and that you can design automated campaigns based on what activities your users engage in. <\/p>\n

ESP Companies<\/h2>\n

When looking for an ESP, remember that price and functionality will differ. Decide what you need out of your email service provider then look for one that best fits your needs. Here is a list of some of the most popular ESPs:<\/p>\n
