Email Marketing can have varying impacts depending on the medium and demographic reviewing it. Many publishers and senior managers will probably not understand the impact of an e-newsletter to the same extent as producing print ads and billboards to promote products for the basic reason that it cost less.

Most of the time marketers create a skewed expectation by including customers acquired for free or from other marketing means. When creating a campaign be sure to follow the principles created via traditional marketing principles. Combining this with the savvy of email marketing will make a successful campaign figures.
