IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS IN 2019 THEN WHY IS EMAIL MARKETING THE BEST WAY FROWARD FOR YOU
OLD AGE SHOPPING:
In the old days in UAE, a man would open a shop on the corner of the street and then he would sit and wait until the customer would arrive at his door and ask if he had the product the customer required. It would result in a sale sometimes and would be a waste of time at other times. Bussiness was easy and simple.
The LATE NINETIES TILL 2010:
Then came all the advancement in information technology. UAE became the Bussiness and Shopping hub of the world. which revolutionized the way a customer would find the product he or she needs and the way they shop that product. All a customer needs to do is to type the product’s name on the net and there are thousands of choices in front of you. To the extent that it became almost impossible and confusing for the customer to buy the right product. Still, because there are so many costumers a business would survive but it would never reach its full potential.
MODERN BUSINESS:
If you are a business who is trying to exist today and you don’t have an online presence, in the modern you are a business who doesn’t exist. No one can see you because you are using a method that was used to buy the people in the old days and costumers in UAE are not familiar with that method.
Email MARKETING:
Now imagine that you are communicating to all those customers who have given you a green light that market your product to them. The only thing a business needs to figure out what is the right product for which customer.
One way to do that is by email marketing. This method has been used for decades. It stays one of the best ways to market your product to the customer who has trusted you with their details. In return, the customer only expects that by sharing their information they will have a more customized communication and experience according to their needs.

BUILDING Email MARKETING LISTS
There are several ways a business can build its email lists. One thing a business should never do is buy lists from databases that already exist. The main problem with those database lists is that the people on that list have no introduction to you or your product. For them, you are a spammer, and for a business that relies on email marketing to get its customer base spamming is the worst label it can have.
The best thing a business can do is to make their email list from direct contact with the customer and entice them to hand over their information. There are a lot of strategies that can be used such as promotions, incentives or promises of valuable output if they sign up with your business.
Increasing email lists through the website:
Your website should be the basic source to built up your email list. It should be fully equipped to with the features which are visible and easy to operate, and some of the content should only be accessible after signing up. This motivates a potential customer to sign up to get to the rest of the information. A good website is that encourages a visitor to sign up before they leave your website.
SURVEYS:
A business should always make sure that when the customers are on-site, they should always be encouraged to provide feedback on how the service can be improved. Also, they should be encouraged to sign up in-store or they can do it online.
USING SOCIAL MEDIA MIXED WITH OLD SCHOOL ADVERTISEMENT:
Using social media to advertise your business is becoming common more and more. It is important that a business should give immediate offers and incentives mixed with encouraging posts to encourage people to sign up to your email lists.
