Katrina, our content marketing expert, and Kristy, our account management expert, warm up the virtual stage with their hot takes on all things email marketing, including how to keep your brand top-of-mind with email and delight your customers throughout their journey 🚀

As an intro to this session, your’s truly (Copper’s Customer Marketing Manager), starts off by walking through the what and why of email marketing 🔍
Simply put, email marketing is the process of promoting an organization’s brand, products or services to their contacts through emails delivered to their inbox. This could include one-off emails, email blasts or email drip campaigns that deliver marketing messages to your audience base — and everything in between.
But more importantly, we dive into the why of email marketing. Why has email been able to remain such a key ingredient in many organizations’ marketing mix despite a quickly evolving communications landscape?
Email has the ability to be highly personalized while remaining scalable. Personalization helps foster hope in the recipient — the hope that if they stay subscribed, they’ll receive a tailored offer or resource that solves their problem or meets their need. That could be a discount on shoes still in their cart, or an ebook related to content they just read on your blog or saw in a webinar. B2B or B2C, personalization is key 🔑
To wrap up the first section, I touch on some of the email tools available in Copper and when they might be useful. These include:
-
Email templates and bulk emailing in Copper
-
Marketing Tools Email Sequences
-
Other integrated platforms (Activepipe, Reply.io, PersistIQ) as well as the possibility to connect your business’s email tools via Zapier or API.
Next, Katrina sits down to chat all things email for marketing. She tells us some of the reasons Copper uses email as part of our marketing strategy.
“When done strategically, email can support a wide range of objectives — from increasing brand awareness all the way down to driving conversions and sales. There are different ways to approach email marketing, but in my experience, the most effective approach is to align emails with a stage in the buyer’s journey.”
During this fireside chat, Katrina walks us through some examples of Copper’s email marketing campaigns, including:
-
Newsletters
-
Product announcements
-
Content nurture email sequences
To wrap her section, Katrina shares some of her best practices for email writing:
Following Katrina, we invite Kristy to the virtual stage to talk about using email for sales. We dive into how the sales team uses email to meet their objectives.
“In the Account Management team, email is our primary channel to connect with our customers… It’s really important to understand what exactly the KPIs look like in terms of your sales objectives. For us, our key KPIs are ‘meetings booked’, ‘opportunities created’ and ‘opportunities won’... Our team is using a variety of different email tools in Copper, including the PersistIQ integration, bulk emails, templates and email sequences in Marketing Tools.”
Kristy shares some of her best practices in the space, including starting with a plan around the data you need for a targeted and personalized campaign, and ensuring you’re regularly reviewing your automated workflows to ensure they include personalized touches based on where someone might be in their journey with your brand.
