Bulk Email Marketing

To save on cost, companies are choosing below the line marketing of their products and services and the promotion of their corporate image. They are reaching out to their target audience and market with regular e-magazines and e-newsletters through the aid of the Internet and bulk email marketing.


Email marketing is effective and practical especially for start up companies. Virtually unknown brands can draw an audience of millions around the world through bulk email marketing. There is a downside to using bulk email marketing. It has close associations with spamming – sending unsolicited advertising and marketing campaigns to an indiscriminate addressee list. Nobody wants to receive spam mail.

This however does not mean that companies should shy away from bulk email marketing. A sound alternative would be to create an opt-in list. This lists addresses only those that opt to receive email from a certain party. Those who decline are automatically taken off the list. Opt-in lists can be bought from suppliers. They usually come from surveys Internet users fill out. Bulk email marketing is a good investment for businesses. Companies can communicate with their clients as often as they want with the least amount of expense.


However, since spammers do exist, there must be a market in spamming. If you believe this method will work for you, and that there are enough people out there not using spam blockers, then go ahead and try the unsolicited bulk email route. The response rate will be very, very slim, but it might be enough.

An Introduction To Bulk Email Marketing

Bulk email marketing is a method of reaching and communicating with current and potential customers. Over the last decade, bulk email marketing has become a big business. Various studies have reported that an average bulk email campaign yields a one to two percent response. One of the plus points of bulk email marketing is that it less expensive than traditional bulk postage mail. There are a few disadvantages to bulk email marketing. For instance, unsolicited emails are often labeled ‘spam mails,’ and it may affect the company's reputation as people generally disapprove of this type of mail received without permission. Not only that, but many states and locales have decided to limit or outright ban the sending of unsolicited spam email campaigns by people for profit or otherwise.


Although bulk email marketing is very effective, some points should be considered before implementing it. The content of the email should be very crisp and to the point. Avoid the usage of attachments as far as possible because it takes more space and requires some time to download. People generally will not read something that is unsolicited if it takes even an ounce of effort. You have to make sure that the links provided in the mails are functioning properly. It is a good point to address the recipient by first name. And finally, the subject line should be short and to the point. Complaints about unsolicited emails from a large number of Internet users may result in blocking your account by the Internet service provider (ISP).
