This weeks marketing tip is to leverage email marketing. Email marketing allows you to both acquire new customers and stay in contact with existing customers.

Studies have shown that it costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one. If you are not using email marketing to your advantage then you are missing out on a bunch of potential customers.

The Success Story Of The Week 🏆

Eric Yuan moved to the U.S. from China in the 90s to take advantage of the internet boom. He was denied the first eight times he applied for his visa. Finally, on the ninth time, he was approved. 

In 2012, Eric founded a communication platform called Zoom. Eric made Zoom as a solution to a long-distance relationship that required a 10-hour train ride to see each other. 

Today, Zoom is worth almost twenty billion dollars. If Eric had never applied for his visa that ninth time then he never would have founded Zoom. Persistence is a huge factor when it comes to founding a business. If you are not persistent when it comes to business, then the odds are not in your favor.
