The value of email marketing

Alex Tremlett, Insight Data’s commercial director, discusses the immediacy of email marketing and how it continues to thrive, even in a fast evolving tech landscape.

Here’s a question – when did you last check your email inbox? If you’re in business (or even if you’re not) I can almost guarantee that it won’t be more than a day or so, at max.

Despite all the other things we’re required to ‘check’ these days, the humble email is still the main tool for business communication – and the reason why email marketing continues to be such a powerful way for fenestration companies wanting to grow their business and connect with new customers.

Digital marketing has skyrocketed in the past few years, yet email marketing consistently proves its worth, adapting and growing while other platforms have come and gone. Its enduring success is about reaching the right people with messages that matter to them.

In the fenestration industry, where relationships and trust are everything, that personal touch makes all the difference.

We all know how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to reach the decision-makers. More often than not, a current email address is the answer. Whether you’re showcasing new window systems, sharing installation expertise or announcing innovative door solutions, your email will land directly in the inbox of those who count.

Of course, it’s not simply a case of firing off a ‘Hi, how are you?’ to every name you can think of. The days of sending identical messages to everyone on your contact list are long gone. Today’s email marketing lets you tailor your content to different audiences.

This level of personalisation helps build lasting relationships. When prospects receive content that speaks directly to their needs and interests, they’re more likely to view your business as a trusted industry partner rather than just another supplier.

However, even the best email campaign needs accurate data to succeed. It’s like having a perfectly engineered window that without the right measurements just won’t fit. Clean, current contact information forms the foundation of effective email marketing.

One of email marketing’s greatest strengths is its measurability. You need to be able to track exactly how recipients interact with your messages – who opens them, which links they click and what content engages them most. This insight helps refine future campaigns, ensuring each one performs better than the last.

Email marketing works best as part of an integrated approach. Initial email contact, followed by professional telesales support, creates a powerful combination that significantly increases your chances of converting interest into business opportunities.

And in today’s challenging market conditions, every marketing pound needs to work harder. Email marketing delivers exceptional value, offering one of the highest returns on investment of any marketing channel. It’s particularly effective in B2B environments where building relationships leads to long-term partnerships.

This is where many businesses stumble. Maintaining an accurate database requires constant attention and professional expertise. Contact details change, people move roles and companies merge – keeping pace with such changes is crucial.
