Other methods of shopping during this popular time period came in being email marketing: free searches, paid searches, and social media, in that particular order.

Below are some facts which determine what makes this form of digital marketing successful for some small businesses:
  • Email subject line contains no more than 10 words.
  • When the note is personalized, it is close to 130% more likely to be opened and read than one that is not.
  • Avoid overly sale-laden wording in the note. More sales are made when the note focuses on the emotional needs for a purchase.
  • Images speak volumes in the email. People pay attention more to mail with images than those with just text.
  • Be gender specific in the note. People pay attention to how the note is written and to whom it addresses. It makes a difference in sales. 



Enterprises TV also notes that consumers spend a great deal of time reading their email on digital devices. All of the above can help a small business generate sales. Does your business utilize email marketing?
