Did you know?

The world's first email was sent in 1971!

Seven years later the world's first mass marketing (spam) email was blasted across the west coast. Sending unsolicited emails in this fashion is now highly illegal. With the right strategy, email marketing can easily become the most cost-effective marketing medium for your company. According to a study by the Direct Marketing Association, email marketing generated a return on investment of $43.62 for every dollar spent on it in 2009! In other words, a company can expect at least $0.16 in revenue for every email it sends out.

Email marketing, if executed correctly, can enhance relationships with current or previous customers, encourage customer loyalty, acquire new customers and upsell/cross sell products and services. Let the professionals at Evolve provide your company with an effective email marketing strategy today.
