Ecommerce Email Marketing 101
How automated email campaigns can skyrocket sales and keep customers happy.
RegisterTo grow your email list is to grow your business.
Not every customer buys the first time they visit your store. In fact, few do.
As you grow your email list and build your audience, you give your business an owned channel to reach your customers and nurture a relationship with them. Whether it’s a newsletter announcing a new product or a thank you email after a purchase, email marketing is the most cost-effective communication and marketing channel for your business.
In this course, you’ll learn how to build an engaged email list and automate your email marketing campaigns for maximum impact on your bottom line.
