strategy to deliver the right messages to the right
people. What has changed is the number of options
you have. Though businesses will continue to make
use of traditional marketing methods, such as

whole new element to the marketing mix. Many
businesses are producing great results with e-
marketing and its flexible and cost-effective nature
makes it particularly suitable for small businesses.

product plans and offerings, remind customers of
service requirements, know what other products a
customer had purchased, and so forth.
