What is Email Marketing?

When we use email to contact our customers, this method of marketing is called email marketing.

Email is a very quiet and effective way of communication.

According to me, in the field of digital marketing, there are only two assets which stay with you in the long term,

• One is your WEBSITE
• The Second one is your EMAIL LIST

All other social media apps will come and go,

Your website and your email list will never leave you.

There are many types in Email Marketing,

According to the purpose of email marketing, it is divided into,

such as

• Welcome Emails

• And others
