[MUSIC PLAYING] OK, so we're on board with the fact that repeat purchases rule. Your customers already trust you, so repeat sales are easier to generate and cost less. Now, I'll touch on why I love email marketing as a channel. Email marketing has been around for ages. It actually predates the worldwide web. And there's a reason it's called the cockroach of the internet-- it just doesn't die.
But the craziest thing is it's still the most profitable marketing channel there is. On average, every dollar invested in email returns $43 in sales. And, unlike social media or paid search, you own your email list. These email contacts are yours. You can reach them whenever you want.
And you're not locked into any one platform. And the best part about email marketing, most of it can be automated. So once you've set it up, there's very little ongoing work required. It does all the heavy lifting of generating sales for you. So if you haven't gotten set up with an email marketing app already, search email marketing in the Shopify app store and go and install one now.
There's also a link to install smart email in this lesson's description. That way you'll be ready to set up the automations I'll be taking you through in the upcoming lessons. And you don't need to watch all the modules before starting your email setup. In fact, I'd suggest to do the opposite. Start your email setup as soon as you've finished the first module/. . You'll build on that setup as we go through the course, but just get started.
A good email strategy sending now is better than a perfect one sending tomorrow. OK, the first automation we're going to look at are your transactional emails, starting with your order confirmation emails. [MUSIC PLAYING]
