Ep 32 – Jennifer Gale: The ins and outs of email automation

Aug 16, 2020

How to optimise your email marketing

While we send and receive emails on a frequent day-to-day basis, many of us see this form of virtual communication as an admin tool – not a marketing tool.

With a fear of coming across ‘too salesy’, especially for Australians, the art of sending quality, personalised marketing emails is often overlooked.

Maybe you’re overwhelmed with the emails you personally receive – and don’t want to clutter up your clients’ inboxes.

However, those who want to connect with you, will want to hear from you.

If they’re already a customer or have expressed interest in your products and services in the past, then they’re probably eager to learn more about you and be kept in the loop around promotions and updates.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Jennifer Gale from Pink Hat Digital on the power of email marketing. We cover the basics and benefits of set and forget email automation – so you can focus on the day-to-day running of your business, while your emails make an impact on those receiving them.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the episode!
