How to Start Your Email Marketing Campaign
Every email marketing campaign needs a detailed strategy to target the right audience and deliver results. Brafton has established a can’t-miss, step-by-step process to support any commercial goals.
Step 1: Define Your Readers
Your target audience informs every aspect of digital marketing, especially when it comes to your email campaign. Client personas will determine everything from the messaging and tone to sending frequency.
To devise the best email marketing strategy for your business, we must outline whom we’re trying to reach:
- Are you marketing to them as regular consumers, business users or both?
- Are they familiar with your brand or is this an awareness campaign?
- Have they signed up for your newsletter or email list?
- Are they a returning customer or a prospect who hasn’t made a purchase yet?
Step 2: Build an Email List
Once you have a broad idea of who you want to target, you can dig deeper and create an email list filled with qualified leads, potential prospects or former customers.
Brafton can help build out a subscriber list by developing conversion-oriented content that features:
- Sign-up forms.
- Email newsletter enrollments.
- Event registration opportunities.
- Other calls to action.
Segmenting your sales targets even further will refine your email lists, letting you create dedicated campaigns for specific audiences based on their level of engagement, position in the sales funnel and more.
Step 3: Start Marketing
Once we’ve identified your target audience and developed an email list that supports your overall digital marketing strategy, it’s time to bring your campaign to life.
Need help creating the actual email content? We can tackle specific aspects of email content creation, or take over from start to finish:

- Much more.

Email Marketing FAQs
Is Email Marketing Still Important?
The rise of social media marketing and other highly immersive approaches has not made email marketing any less relevant. In fact, these other marketing tools only serve to enhance your email strategy.
Say a potential customer has been interacting with you on social media. They want more information, but they’re looking for that same convenience, simplicity and value. Email is a logical next step — because while it gives the potential customer more information about your brand, it retains the quick, easy format of a Twitter post or other social media interaction.
What Are the Benefits of Email Marketing?
Email marketing is a convenient way to stay connected with existing and potential customers alike. Because you can tailor your content based on different personas or email lists, you’ll always be able to offer content that feels customized and valuable — no matter where the user is in the customer journey.
Email marketing also creates new opportunities, like the ability to send surveys or otherwise gather feedback. This doesn’t just help improve your services; it also encourages your audience to think deeply about your brand and interact on a new level.
Another important benefit of email marketing is its flexibility. Once you’ve developed an email list, you can use those contacts for all kinds of marketing — from new product announcements to event invites.
Does Email Marketing Fit Into a Larger Digital Marketing Strategy?
Keep in mind that email marketing, while crucial, is not the only tool in your digital marketing arsenal. You should also use approaches like social media marketing and search engine optimization to immerse customers in your brand story.
These tools work together to create an omnichannel experience. A customer who reads your blog wants to hear the same voice in your emails and on social media. Luckily, these tools can feed into one another and promote more interaction with your company depending on the customer’s preferred channel. For example, an email might have a link to your company’s latest explainer video, which you can encourage users to share on their favorite social media platforms.
How Do You Choose an Email Marketing Agency?
There’s no shortage of email marketing agencies out there. How do you choose one that will align with your expectations and create a campaign that delivers results?
Here are a few things to look for:
- A strong team:No email marketing consultant can flourish alone. They need a team of strategists and creators to help bring your campaign to life.
- A proven approach:Make sure you choose a digital marketing agency with a significant track record of success in email marketing across multiple industries and company sizes.
- Omnichannel expertise:Don’t limit yourself by choosing an agency that only works in email marketing; instead, look for omnichannel expertise that will help you plan an email campaign that complements your overall marketing strategy.
- A creative spark:Email marketing has been around for quite some time, which means customers are losing interest in approaches they’ve seen over and over again. To avoid client boredom, look for an email marketing agency that views every email as an opportunity to be creative and help your brand stand out.
