Email Marketing

According to BtoB Magazine, 59% of B2B marketers cite email marketing as the most effective channel for generating revenue.  With a response rate ten times higher than banner advertising, it’s easy to understand why!  Whether you’re sending a promotional email, a newsletter, or even a holiday greeting, email marketing keeps you connected to customers while reinforcing your brand.

Think of PlanetMagpie as your personal marketing department.  Our team not only designs you a custom email template, we create persuasive content that engages your audience, distribute it to your mailing list, and then provide you with statistical analysis of each campaign.  We've partnered with Campaign Monitor and Constant Contact for years, in order to stay within best-practice email guidelines and deliver high receipt rates.

PlanetMagpie manages each and every aspect of your professional (and successful!) email marketing campaign.

Harness the power of email marketing and unleash your marketing potential

  • Faster and cheaper than traditional print marketing materials

Content Marketing

93% of B2B buying processes begin with an online search.  Will your website convince buyers to buy from you?  Or will your competition convince them instead?

Producing persuasive content is the most challenging part of building and maintaining a business website.  It makes the difference between a self-centric website nobody visits, and a customer-centric website reaching those 93% of readers before your competitors do.  There's an art to this kind of selling.  It's called Content Marketing.

Content Marketing is not a one-time project, but an ongoing strategy to engage customers and keep your search engine rankings high.  For best results, you'll need a long-term partner to keep producing quality content over time.  PlanetMagpie has a Digital Marketing team with content marketers and SEO experts on staff.  Our team has over 10 years of experience writing for our Digital Marketing partners.  Working with us, your content will speak in your customers' language, and help you stand out from your competitors.

Our Content Marketing customers enjoy successes like:

  • Increasing their website traffic 300%
  • Newsletter open rates up to 65%
  • Citations in major media outlets like the New York Times and CIO.com
  • Blog visits of over 40,000 a month
  • Winning awards for their websites

With PlanetMagpie as your Digital Marketing partner, you have an asset that produces website content, email newsletters, sales emails, case studies, editing, and more!  All content is SEO-friendly (see "Search Engine Optimization" below).
