Email marketing is an effective method for any scale of business starting from small to large. Statistics prove the potential of the email marketing tools as data shows that 205 billion emails are sent out per day. Email users are vastly growing and they might reach three billion by 2020.

Emails help in gaining and retaining customers. With email marketing, you would be able to get back an average of $40 for each one dollar that you would spend. Higher conversion rates are achieved through emails compared to social and search media combined. Don’t worry about the cost as there are several email marketing tools that are free.
