Brands know how important Email marketing is to them, but very few know how to capitalize on it.

This can be HUGE for their ecommerce stores and online retailers. Sad part is very few pay attention to their margins. The other problem is, most companies do it wrong, or they don’t at all.

As of now the total number of worldwide email accounts is said to increase from nearly 3.9 billion accounts to over 4.9 billion accountsby the end of 2017?

We’re looking at more than HALF of the world’s population with email accounts. More than half the world’s population opening emails, reading emails, and buying from emails!

Email Marketing: CONSUMER EMAIL STATS

Email shopping now accounts for more than 7% of all ecommerce user acquisitions making it the second most effective customer acquisition channel (behind search at 15.9%).

Plus, the customer lifetime value (CLV) of customers acquired through email is 12% higher than average. To put that into perspective, Twitter’s CLV is 23% lower than average.

Not only is email more effective at acquiring customers for online stores than almost everything else, it gets you better customers-the purchasing customer that spend more money with you.

Given everything mentioned, it’s not surprising that the average return on an email marketing investment is $44.25 for every dollar spent.

A brand’s online presence done right can generate new leads, and sales. If their ecomm-platform offers everything they need, and is user friendly-even better!

For brands looking to capitalize on the now $220 Billion (U.S. digital) market, It’s important to have a platform that offers everything without breaking bank.

SHOPIFY e-commerce platform

Page 10: Optimizing email automation for lead generation

Cue Shopify, a Canadian (Yay Canada!) based company that’s leading the pack when it comes to delivering top-notch service for online shops.

Shopify separates itself from the pack by offering a marketing focused platform, built to support startup brands.

Fully equipped with SEO features and advanced ecommerce analytics, it’s everything a ‘Start Up’ needs and then some. Bonus feature is it’s affordable.

In addition to integrated SEO tools, Shopify provides some essential marketing tools such as …

• Discount codes • custom gift cards • social network integration • targeted email marketing • store statistics & a coupon engine

Paired with Mailchimp, Shopify can be lucrative in a Brand’s capitalizing on email automation.

More than 12 million people and businesses use MailChimp to send 1 billion emails every day. Mailchimp sends more email than anyone, and they send it fast.

Quickly growing small businesses and e-commerce retailers need an experienced email service provider that can scale with them. They need an innovative company with the resources and tools necessary to improve their performance, make them more money, and grow their business. MailChimp is uniquely suited to do just that.

Mailchimp + Shopify = ‘Chimpified’

Having an online store is one of those things that was completely out of reach for most people several years ago.

Shopify came along and changed that with their platform for selling product online.

Paired with Mailchimp aka Chimpified, now in it’s second iteration, bridges the gap between a Shopify store and MailChimp.

Mailchimp + Shopify = ‘Chimpified’

The bond between Shopify and Mailchimp can really elevate a brand’s presence amongst it’s competitors, and the consumer.

Where marketing automation can go from here is endless. I truly believe the integration of Smart TV apps will be the next big move in this strategy for brand’s.

Video concepts to capture the consumers short attention span in their home, on smart TV’s. This could be the next wave in reaching consumers on through a different tech medium.
