E-Commerce Email Marketing: The Channel You Actually Own

Email marketing delivers the highest ROI of any marketing channel. How to use it for e-commerce.

Social media algorithms change. Amazon PPC costs rise. Your email list is the one marketing asset you truly own. It consistently delivers the highest return on investment of any marketing channel.

Building Your List

If you sell on your own website, capture emails with pop-ups offering 10 percent off the first order. On Amazon, use product inserts directing customers to your website signup (allowed within Amazon guidelines).

Essential Email Flows

  • Welcome series: 3 to 4 emails introducing your brand and bestsellers
  • Abandoned cart: Recover lost sales with timely reminders
  • Post-purchase: Thank, educate, and cross-sell
  • Win-back: Re-engage customers who have not purchased recently

Segmentation

Stop sending the same email to everyone. Segment by purchase history, product category, spending level, and engagement. Relevant emails convert significantly better than generic blasts.
