The power of email marketing

Email marketing isn’t just about sending newsletters—it’s about delivering targeted, personalized, and relevant messages to your customers and leads. By tailoring your communication to their specific needs and interests, you can boost engagement and build long-term loyalty.

For example, a small bakery can use email marketing to inform customers about new products, special offers, or seasonal treats. Have a customer who always looks for gluten-free options? With targeted emails, you can instantly notify them when you launch a new gluten-free product.

Why CRM and email marketing go hand in hand

When you connect your CRM to your email marketing, you can communicate with customers and leads in an even more targeted and personal way. A well-maintained CRM contains valuable data about your customers, such as their purchase history, birthdays, preferences, and past interactions.

By integrating this data into your email marketing, you can create highly personalized campaigns that directly address your customers’ needs.

What a good CRM system does for you:

• All customer information in one place – No more scattered notes or multiple tools. Your CRM syncs everything automatically.
• Reminders and follow-ups – Get notified about scheduled calls or emails so you never miss an opportunity.
• Insight into your sales funnel – Track exactly where each customer is in the process and what actions are needed.
• Complete customer history – From the first interaction to the latest purchase, everything is recorded.
• Spotting potential customers – Identify promising leads and follow up at the right moment.
• Personalized emails – Use CRM data to send email campaigns that truly resonate with your audience.

Imagine you own an online clothing store. Your FlowQi CRM shows that a customer just purchased a pair of shoes. With this information, you can automatically send them an email with styling tips, recommended accessories, or care instructions.

You can set all of this up using triggers in our Email Marketing Tool, seamlessly integrated with FlowQi CRM. The benefits? Happier customers (especially when you provide useful tips!) and increased sales through cross-selling—offering complementary products that match their recent purchase.
