This document provides an overview of email marketing, including what it is, ethical practices to follow, how different types of businesses can benefit from it, and tools to use. Email marketing involves segmenting large groups of consumers to send them promotions, updates on new products, and appreciation programs. Laws like PIPEDA and the Can-Spam Act establish rules for commercial emails and protect consumer privacy. Both B2B and B2C businesses can use email marketing to build relationships, but it requires different approaches. Various email service providers are discussed and compared, including pricing structures and features. Guidance is provided on getting started with email marketing and growing an email list.
