Email Marketing is a form of direct marketing that uses email to communicate a commercial message to an audience. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing. We at napkin marketing provide email marketing and email automation/nurture services in Toronto and to clients across Canada.
According to a McKinsey survey, Email is 40 times more effective at acquiring customers compared to Facebook and Twitter combined! Not only is email more effective, but email also has a much higher ROI than any other marketing channel.
There are many benefits of email marketing, but here are the 3 biggest reasons email marketing works:
Email marketing works by sending out commercial messages to customers via email. There are a lot more email marketing consists of, and we generally try to stay within these few areas.
The above is a basic form of email marketing. We at Napkin marketing do the above, plus much more.
Email marketing can be a crucial element for many marketing campaigns looking to improve customer engagement & boost brand recall.
Unlike with social media marketing or Google Ads, you are not directly competing with other businesses in email marketing. Email marketing is permission-based, meaning people have given you permission to email them and has one of the highest ROIs of any marketing activity.
Email is also more personal than social media, making it a great way to build relationships with customers and prospects. For SEO, every click you receive through to your email will also send positive signals to Google that will help boost your SEO performance overall.

What an in-depth look at what we offer? Our over 20 years of experience have helped us become a certified Mailchimp partner, and here is what we’ve learnt.

Our extensive knowledge of these platforms allows us to easily handle advanced integrations, drip email campaigns and automation.

Find out more about the different application integrations that MailChimp offers.
CASL-COMPLIANT CAMPAIGNS: Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL) has very specific guidelines that must be followed when it comes to asking permission to email. You are only allowed to contact people if you have proof that they’ve allowed you to contact them. Businesses can be fined up to $1M for failure to comply. At napkin marketing, we’ve taken the time to learn the policies and keep up-to-date on changes, so our email marketing campaigns are always CASL-compliant.
MOBILE RESPONSIVE EMAIL DESIGNS: Email clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!, Outlook, etc.) read messages differently just as web browsers do. This means sometimes they present the same message, with the same coding differently. On top of this, every device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC) and screen resolution will also present the same message differently. If you send a campaign that wasn’t tested on different platforms, images, text or layout could end up looking a bit off.
At napkin marketing, we understand the importance of giving every single email recipient a great experience, so our email templates are specially-designed to be responsive and mobile-friendly. We also test each email on multiple clients, to ensure it displays perfectly across all major platforms and devices. Provide us with logos and images or we’ll find just the right low-cost royalty-free images for your particular campaign.
LIST MANAGEMENT: Maintaining your lead list can be a challenge. We’ll clean and validate your existing list, or help you source or legally rent or purchase an email list through a CASL-compliant partner. This means that you can start your email marketing journey even without an existing email list.
