Topicsbusiness, email, email marketing

How many emails did you send out today? Two, four, or maybe even six emails? Did you know that by using a web based email client you are missing out on an opportunity to market you business? If you are using a web based email service like yahoo, gmail, AOL, or hotmail for your business or brand you are missing out on an easy and free way to market your business.

 

On average I send out approximately 10 – 20 email messages per day, that’s approximately 70 to 140 messages per week! Check your sent messages and see how many promotional opportunities you missed today.

I have always considered myself great at multi-tasking. If you need someone to wash the clothes and feed a baby, all while typing up an email to her most important client, then I’m your girl.
