Email Marketing EMAIL MARKETING OVERVIEW “Out
of sight, out of mind.” In business, this saying can be applied to
the task of acquiring and retaining customers. For this reason, many companies
want new ways to increase the quality and quantity of personalized interactions
with customers and prospects. One cost-effective but
often overlooked tool is the e-Newsletter. The Internet enables these
recurring, personalized interactions to replace —or reinforce
—expensive, time-intensive marketing like sales calls or direct mail
pieces. Durkan Consulting Group will implement an
e-Newsletter delivery system that fits your company's needs, and one that is
customized to compliment your existing sales processes. Using our
e-Newsletter delivery system, you can grow your business, increase your sales
and help keep your sales and marketing efforts focused. Durkan
Consulting Group can assist you with every aspect of implementation including
copy and design creation, address gathering and list management, campaign
execution, and more.

are just a few of the features of our e-Newsletter:
Easy Integration: Content seems to be the largest
challenge to starting e-Newsletters, you can implement our e-Newsletter
delivery system to work seamlessly with your existing website content by using
a teaser format. Teaser Format: Short paragraphs generate enough interest for the reader to click on links
directed to your website. There the reader can view the full story and
browse the remainder of your website. Teaser format enables the tracking of

so that new content can be easily uploaded to your website. Your business gains

valuable information. Address capture: Works

messages in the salutation and in the subject line. Additionally, the

mailing. Graphical HTML: A sophisticated HTML format is custom
developed just for your business complete with your logo, contact information,
a direct website link, additional links to your website content and
