When she started <a href=\"http:\/\/www.godryerase.com\/\">www.GoDryErase.com<\/a> her competition was tough, but not nearly as fierce as it is today. At the time, small office supply stores were still common and she competed on a level playing field. Today however, the giant big-box stores dominate the market and their internet advertising is so entrenched that it is hard to compete for space and attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to spend part of my marketing budget on pay per click and the orders rolled in. But recently the results were more and more disappointing, and I realized it was time to be more creative and more pro-active.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5>Small Business Email Marketing<\/h5>\n<p>Susan looked for help in the email marketing industry, and quickly found that there were a lot of big companies with glossy templates, but their prices were high and results questionable. \u201cI heard about GMass from a colleague and decided that becoming hands-on with the process would be more my style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Susan started with a free trial, wrote some email copy, and learned how to insert pictures and links. She especially liked the fact that messages seem more personal with GMass, right from her to her customers. They responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sent messages to new customers as well as prospects, and I could quickly see who opened the <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-770\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Markers-285x300.png\" alt=\"small business email marketing\" width=\"191\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Markers-285x300.png 285w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Markers-768x808.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Markers.png 896w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/>emails and who clicked on my links. Those that read my email received a follow-up phone call, not high-pressure, just a hello. Hello\u2019s turned into new sales and re-orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GMass <strong>Main Campaign Report<\/strong> allows users to see who opened each message and who clicked on the links inside. This allows Susan and all GMass users to immediately see the results of each campaign and is excellent feedback for possible changes to messages, timing, or targets. Email marketing is truly a reactive channel for businesses because you can track results in real time and make adjustments to boost response and sales.<\/p>\n<h5>Digital Marketing That Works<\/h5>\n<p>So far, Susan is thrilled with the results. \u201cI\u2019m getting more interested customers, and I\u2019m able to decide who to target and when. I launched a \u2018Start the New Year with a Clean Slate\u2019 campaign to small colleges after New Year\u2019s Day, and it\u2019s a winner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>GoDryErase is a certified Women\u2019s Business Enterprise and their most popular product is called Whiteboard-in-a-Box, a self-stick dry-erase roll that can be placed on a wall, the front of a refrigerator, anywhere you want to express yourself. It is commonly used to resurface old dry-erase boards which is a huge savings over replacement.
