Communicating by e-mail has a number of benefits:
1. Quick response –- You’ll be able to measure the effectiveness of your message in about 48 hours, which also means if you are asking for donations to a non-profit organization or selling something online you’ll have money in-hand sooner than you would with direct mail.
2. Learn something –- A content strategy that tracks the recipient’s activity within the message will teach you something about their interests.
3. More affordable –- E-mail allows you to communicate for pennies per message instead of the dollars per message it costs to send direct mail.
4. Better results –- Response rates to e-mail communications are often better than traditional direct mail.
5. Segment & strategize –- The technology available to deliver thousands of e-mail messages at a time also enables you to segment groups and target specific groups of people with a message just for them.
6. It’s the culture –- Most professionals who work at a desk every day (and many who don’t) are accustomed to using e-mail as a regular form of communication. According to the 2004 Pew Internet & American Life Project, 93% of online Americans use e-mail.
The e-mail addresses you have already collected, just like mailing addresses, are most valuable when they belong to the people who are connected and informed participants in your organization. Many organizations who consider “buying” an e-mail list will soon learn that their money will be wasted on strangers because their best prospects are the ones who are already acquainted with the good work you do. Therefore, it is worth the effort to cultivate your current list and do all you can to acquire their e-mail addresses and their permission to communicate with them by e-mail.
