Most people check their email several times a day, so emailing your audience about your product makes sense! ✉️ With a few clicks, you can connect with hundreds, thousands, or more of your clients!

With email, you can use text, images, videos, animations, and more to convey your message. You can also track your results - such as how many people opened your message, clicked on it, how many were spammed, etc.

Ultimately, email is a proven cost-effective marketing strategy. 😊 Read on to learn about email marketing campaigns, and how to create your first campaign in your Tailwind dashboard. 👇

Email marketing campaigns consist of one email sent simultaneously to a large number of people with a specific objective; businesses worldwide use these to help them sell, connect and achieve their goals.

In the long run, you can strive to get your subscribers to sign up for a webinar or purchase something on your site, but in the short term, you have to primarily focus on the interest of the reader and strengthen your relationship.

You can then choose from these three different options:

Choose this option to open the editor with a basic template that you can then edit as you wish. Learn about the editor here.

Here’s how you can open the editor:

Once you’ve selected one of the options to start from scratch, you'll be able to personalize and edit your template in the Email Designer.

No matter what choice you made to get started, it is very important to test your campaign thoroughly before sending out any emails -- especially if you're using a new design.

Test the campaign on different email browsers, and make sure to check your phone too to assure it will display on any platform.

Put a subject line on the email, choose a time and date to send, and sit back and watch the results! 📈
