In this new era of CAN-SPAM legislation, overflowing inboxes and ever-increasing customer expectations, many of the practices that worked for emailers in the past simply won’t work anymore.The companies that can boast the most effective email programs today have been successful because they’ve completely overhauled their way of thinking . They have changed their strategy from blasting to an unsuspecting audience, to communicating with a willing and increasingly loyal customer base. According to Darwin’s Theory those who are most fit will survive the competition. Recipient’s inbox is no different. To make an email program succeed and thrive , marketers need to constantly evolve their email programs to improve relevancy. Many of the lessons learned when email was in its infancy remain as valuable today. But a lot has changed. Email marketers are now operating in a radically different environment. Customers are far more sophisticated than they were a few years ago, and they have come to expect much more from the companies they interact with electronically. Without change of mindset or without understanding the new context, both brand and customer relationship are at a risk.

To succeed in the new world of email marketing ,it is needed to move away from the old assumptions and adopt a new way of thinking. Rather then asking, “How big is my list?” ask , “How engaged are my recipient?”. Instead of asking, “What does my subject line say?” ask “How am I building my brand over this series of campaigns?”.

Today I would guess it to be over twice as high with the internet present. Make sure you are reaching out to your clients at least once a month in emails or other medium. Just because you emailed a list of people and had little or no response does not necessarily mean your audience isn't interested in your product. Experiment with different emails, get to know which email strategy works best, and keep using it to reach out to your audience.

They Want Useful Information Emails should contain something that the customer wants. It shouldn't be just a summary of your company or your resume. Focus on giving more than just what you sell. Specific content, messages, and other targeted information that interests your customers are good to include. For example, if you were selling makeup, you may want to include advice on how to apply the makeup or any makeup in general. Make Sure Your Audience Reads Your Emails Graphics, Flash animations, logos are often blocked by email filters. Although they look impressive on an email, they will often lower your impression statistics. I recommend using flat text with hyperlinks to your site. Once they get to your site, you can show them as many graphics as you want. Although some businesses have both a plain and a rich text edition of their email, for starters, stick to the plain text.

Advantages And Disadvantages:
E-mail marketing (on the Internet) is popular with companies because:·
Compared to other media investments such as direct mail or printed newsletters, it is less expensive. ·
Return on investment has proven to be high when done properly. ·
It is instant, as opposed to a mailed advertisement, an e-mail arrives in a few seconds or minutes. ·
It lets the advertiser "push" the message to its audience, as opposed to a website that waits for customers to come in. ·
It is easy to track. An advertiser can track users via web bugs, bounce messages, un-subscribes, read-receipts, click-throughs, etc. These can be used to measure open rates, positive or negative responses, corrolate sales with marketing. ·
Advertisers can reach substantial numbers of e-mail subscribers who have opted in (consented) to receive e-mail communications on subjects of interest to them · When most people switch on their computer the first thing they do is check their e-mail. ·

Specific types of interaction with messages can trigger other messages to be automatically delivered. With above benefits it comes with some bad effects too. Spam, the main danger of email marketing sometimes creates hindrance in taking benefits as part of email marketing. Mainly email marketing is used by companies to interact with their customers whereas spam can be defined as a set of unsolicited mails that fills customer's inbox and make it out of use. It is frequently difficult to distinguish between legitimate email marketing and spams. At first spammers attempt to represent themselves as legitimate users rendering the real issue. To avoid these spammers a lot of spam filters are now introduced in the field that helps blocking only spams and not the legitimate emails. Even though email marketing has the above specified risk, it can overcome easily by the introduction of spam filters and provide people the full benefits of email marketing.
