Emails

Oracle Eloqua includes robust email marketing capabilities that you can weave into your marketing campaigns. Emails remain central to many marketing campaigns. Using email, you can reach a large number of existing and potential customers efficiently and cheaply. Email is also reliable and it's easy to report on its performance.

The downside of email marketing is that because it is so inexpensive and easy, nearly everyone (including your competitors) is using it, and it is hard to get noticed. Therefore, it is in your best interest to use email intelligently, to consider design and campaign elements carefully, and to use email as part of a multi-device, multi-channel marketing approach. It is also important to include personalization to increase identification with your message and to stand out from every other email that a contact gets. In addition, you need to ensure that you comply with all applicable regulations and best practices.
