The new email marketing lists include:

Spa and Wellness Travel
The Spa and Wellness Travelers file includes travelers who enjoy visiting spas and wellness retreats for their vacations. They book a variety of spa and wellness vacations around the world, including visiting the world’s top destination spas that offer complete spa services and wellness programs, yoga retreats, fitness retreats, healthy food retreats, spiritual healing retreats and more. These health-conscious individuals typically spend more than the average vacationer as they look at their wellness getaway as an investment in their health and well-being.

Suburban Family Homebuyers
The Suburban Family Homebuyers file is comprised of families who are eager to relocate from major metropolitan areas to the suburbs right outside the city. They are searching for the perfect suburban home for their family but still want the ease of traveling to the city. These suburban homebuyers are driven by the allure of a more family friendly lifestyle in the suburbs which often includes bigger houses, better schools, better recreation options, more family activities, less traffic, and an easier life in general.

Downsizing Empty Nesters
The Downsizing Empty Nesters file consists of couples who are selling their family homes to downsize, often times into a townhouse or condo after their adult children have left the home. These empty nesters no longer need a large house and are looking to downsize into a property which offers more community amenities and less home responsibility. Many of them are Baby Boomers who see opportunity in the current housing market to sell their family homes with a high profit, giving them the most equity in their home and providing them with a nice increase in savings for their future retirement.

The COVID-19 pandemic is pushing brands to connect digitally and email marketing is offering a perfect opportunity for marketers to reach their customers. People are stuck in their homes and are spending more time online and with most retail stores shut down across the country, marketers are taking advantage of email marketing to motivate customers to shop online. Email marketing is even more important now as many other marketing channels have been pushed aside amid the crisis.

During these unprecedented times, COVID-19 is driving a shift in email strategy as retailers try to stay in touch with their customers. Many retailers are offering exclusive discounts to email subscribers and are seeing a big increase in online sales from their email campaigns. Some retail categories are showing a big surge in online sales during the crisis including technology, athletic and loungewear, exercise equipment, beauty, home goods, furniture and decor and more.

While the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting many brands, a large percentage of digital marketers have seen email success by adapting their email marketing strategies to include more personalized messaging, tailored content and limited time, exclusive special offers. The shift in email strategy is working to encourage customers to shop online and is keeping customers loyal to the brand.

Many brands have successfully pivoted their marketing strategy to ecommerce-only. They are leveraging in-store customer data into their email marketing campaigns and have turned brick and mortar customers into e-commerce shoppers.

Successful brands are specifically communicating with customers who usually only shop in- store and introducing these customers to the benefits of being a loyal email subscriber and the convenience of online shopping. This email marketing strategy is helping brands stay connected with customers during these important times and is helping brands increase their online sales. Every brand wants to drive business forward during these difficult times and email marketing is the most effective tool to meet the massive shift in shopper behavior. Putting your brand in front of your customers is even more essential now and email marketing offers the ultimate tool to reach them.
