Are You Prepared for Autumnâs Business Opportunities?

As we approach the final months of 2014 and September is in full flow it’s a very exciting time from a business perspective. No longer are large numbers of your staff or prospective customers away on holiday for a start!

To help you out, we’ve produced this marketing guide to the final quarter of the year.

Even if you’ve just finished a back to school campaign or a summer promo, as we approach events like Halloween, Bonfire Night, Black Friday and (whisper it) Christmas, it’s time to get a marketing strategy in place to capitalise on these occasions.

An essential part of any marketing strategy is email marketing.

A recent McKinsey & Company study concluded that email is almost 40 times better at acquiring new customers than Facebook and Twitter.

Convince and Convert have found that 44% of consumers made at least one purchase last year based on a promotional email they received.

The DMA found in 2013 that email marketing’s return on investment rose to nearly £25 (£24.93) for every £1 spent – even hitting an average of £30.52 for B2C campaigns.

Clearly email is an extremely effective channel, and perfect for the upcoming months.
