11 of the best email marketing how-to's from around the web

Email marketing is the third most influential source of information for B2B buyers behind only colleague recommendations and industry-specific thought leaders (Wordstream). It’s no wonder, then, that 87% of B2B marketers use email marketing to generate leads. But email can do so much more than lead generation: companies in every industry use email to nurture existing leads through the sales funnel, strengthen customer loyalty, and build awareness of their brands. 

But as with anything else in business (or personal, for that matter),  great email marketing results don’t just happen by accident. B2B buyers, like the rest of us, are inundated with email: great results demand the right content, timing, and of course, a great list. The best emails in the world won’t do you any good if you don’t have anyone to send them to, or if the people you’re sending to aren’t the right people.
