email marketing is easy and effective:

email has a 10 times higher response rate than postal mail, particularly when the recipient already has a relationship with the sender.

Results are instant and measurable.
You can track statistical results of email campaigns in real-time. For example, would you like to know:
• How many people received your email?
• How many people opened it and who they are?
• How many people clicked on each link and who they are?
• Which links got the most attention from subscribers
  (i.e., what are our subscribers most interested in)?
