CEO Insights: Interview with Jon Stamell, Founder of Oomiji
Jon Stamell, founder of Oomiji, had a great discussion with Vitaly Geyman, founder and host of CEO Insights. Jon introduced him to the Oomiji platform, which is the next generation in digital marketing because it enables you to build a relationship with your customers.
Jon sheds light on the erroneous belief that more emails = more transactions = customer relationships. The idea that simply sending more emails to customers will directly lead to more transactions and stronger customer relationships is a common misconception in marketing. While email marketing can be a powerful tool, overdoing it can actually have the opposite effect.
The Negative Impact of Email Overload
- Customer fatigue: Excessive emails can lead to customers feeling overwhelmed, annoyed, or even spammed.
- Decreased engagement: When customers are inundated with emails, they may become less likely to open, read, or click on them.
- Damaged brand reputation: A reputation for sending excessive, irrelevant emails can harm a brand’s image.
The Importance of Quality Over Quantity
- Personalized content: Tailoring emails to individual customers based on their interests, preferences, and behavior can significantly improve engagement.
- Value-driven messaging: Focus on providing customers with valuable information, offers, or solutions that address their needs.
- Optimal frequency: Determine the ideal email frequency for your audience to avoid overwhelming them while still maintaining a connection.
