What is Email Marketing?
Quite simply, the use of Email for marketing communications.
The creation, sending and tracking of Emails.
Email marketing is not spamming.
Email Marketing is the sending of Emails with permission.
Is Email Marketing Dead?
No. In fact, with a strong content marketing approach, email is more powerful than ever thanks to social media. Why? Because it moves the conversation about your business to a more personal environment — the in-box.
It’s also amazingly cost-effective. With an ROI of around 4,300% (according to the Direct Marketing Association), email practically pays for itself … and saves a tree or two. It’s what you use when you want to move from “conversation to commerce.”

A lot of companies try to sell you their own custom software for managing your newsletter.
iSeek.ie do not do this. We can review your needs and recommend providers of such software if needed or if you already have a system in place we can use this.
