Email is not dead.

With the right content and planning, email marketing is an excellent lead-generation tool.

In an age of texting and emoji speak, is email dead? The answer might surprise you. Active email accounts are expected to hit 5.6 billion by 2019 and three-quarters of companies agree that email offers  and excellent to good ROI. However, the audience is finicky. Emails that display incorrectly on mobile are typically deleted within 3 seconds and 78% of consumers unsubscribe from emails because a company was sending too many.

Inbound Email Marketing:

Why qualifying your audience is key

The truth about effective email marketing is that it only works when your message is in front of a qualified audience. As an inbound marketing agency, the Bragg Media team captures emails by offering free, helpful and no-fluff information the audience needs. We put the right pieces in place early on in the buyer’s journey.

Newsletters, drip email campaigns and automated email responses are an essential part of brand-building and storytelling. Inbound email marketing is another avenue for sharing quality content that your audience craves — from a free limited email series that educates to automated email responses when a visitor fills out an online form.

Qualify Contacts

Calls to action for free ebooks, guides, discounts and articles that lead to a landing page with a form that collects pertinent information, and, most of all, preferences for the frequency and types of information.

Email Automation

Robust marketing decks that send emails at certain trigger points — when a user fills out an online form, leaves unpurchased items in the online store cart or hasn’t returned to the website in a certain length of time

Keep the Audience Interested

Our team builds trust with engaging email content that addresses your audience’s pain points and offers them a solution. At a time when people would rather communicate with emojis, less is sometimes more

Measure the Results

All of this sounds great, right? But how do you know if email marketing campaigns are working? We study the analytics by researching the open rate, the click through rate, the length of time the audience takes to read the email and the content type they’re interested in. We take this information and constantly refine it until it gets the required return on investment


Stand out with email marketing strategies that work

Did you know that there is a certain time and day of the week that is better to send an email? Did you know that 56% of brands using an emoji in the email subject line have a higher open rate than those that do not?

The Bragg Media team knows what it takes to maintain an effective inbound email marketing campaign. We follow email marketing best practices to ensure maximum deliverability. 

It’s no longer adequate to send “one-size fits all” messages to an audience already inundated with direct messages across all platforms. Bragg Media uses list segmentation and targeted campaigns to keep your audience engaged and to attract new customers to your business.

Nurture Leads:

Ever heard of the “rule of seven”? This is a marketing adage that says that a customer has to see an ad 7 times before they remember it. Not everyone buys on the first day. Email marketing is a great way to warm up the potential customer until they’re ready to purchase.
