Four Best Email Marketing Tools

There are thousands of digital marketing tools available and all are helpful in their own ways. The same can be said for email marketing tools, although there are thousands, there are many to choose from. Once the campaigns are set up businesses often make email marketing mistakes. But first, why email marketing? Email marketing gives businesses a way to reach out to users who have signed up for a mailing list. We’ve all seen a call to action on a site that says “sign up for our newsletter”. After the user signs up they are emailed periodically with offers from the business. To make emailing thousands, sometimes millions, of people easier there are tools and services available. Let’s take a look at a few of the industry leaders.
