Retailer Marketing Tips from FootSteps Marketing!

Here’s a beautiful email template design and very cost effective way to let all your customers know about your Special Mother’s Day Promotions.

Recommendations to build your email subscriber list:

  • Set-up a store display to announce a drawing for a free gift basket or gift card for Mother’s Day
  • Require an email address for the entry to be valid
  • Enter the email addresses into a document like Excel or your current email marketing system

If you missed the boat on putting together an email campaign for Mother’s Day, it’s not too late to get moving on creating an email campaign for Father’s Day and future 2012 promotional events.

Email Marketing Services

Email is the internet’s dominant application. Just consider the amount of time you spend during an average work day reading and replying to email as opposed to browsing the web. There are a multitude of ways to leverage email to build brand recognition, maintain customer relationships and drive new sales. Email marketing and communication works, and we have years of experience creating professional and effective opt-in email programs that deliver results.

You’ve probably heard of the 80/20 Rule. If it’s true that 80% of sales come from 20% of customers, then the most important thing any business can do is to keep those VIP clients engaged. There simply is no better customer relationship management tool than a consistent opt-in email program to deliver timely, relevant messages at the right time to the right audience.
