Reaching Out: Email-based Marketing Strategy

As a marketing strategist, part of my job here at Mudbug is to plan out and implement e-mail based marketing strategies. I think one of the most important tools for any company venturing into the field of e-mail marketing is the e-mail newsletter. E-mail newsletters are an effective way to spread the word about news, events and other topics that might be relevant to a company’s customer base.
