Purchasing e-mail lists and blasting those bought contacts with marketing e-mails was, once upon the time, the way to do things. Not anymore! That’s actually a super horrible way to utilize e-mail marketing. Purchased lists have crappy ROI and do nothing but set your brand up to fail. Your customers want timely, relevant content that feels personalized to them — that’s where utilizing tactics like re-marketing and e-mail automation comes into play. By segmenting your contacts and growing your e-mail list organically, you’re sure to speak your target audience’s love language — and I promise you, nobody’s love language is SPAM.
