Summarize with AI

Email marketing remains one of the highest-ROI channels for businesses looking to grow. But the work behind it is often more than just drafting a message and hitting “send”.

Each campaign involves juggling audience segmentation, timing, personalization, and performance tracking. Without the right tools, you’ll get easily overwhelmed or miss opportunities to engage your subscribers effectively.

In this article, we break down the core processes involved in email marketing, the tools you need to execute them, and how platforms like Mailmodo can handle everything email marketing.

Processes involved in email marketing

Running email marketing successfully usually involves a series of ongoing tasks that work together. Here are the main ones:

  • Building and maintaining a list: Collecting subscribers through sign-up forms, lead magnets, and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.

  • Segmenting the audience: Grouping subscribers by demographics, behavior, or interests to send more relevant content.

  • Planning campaigns: Planning and deciding on the type of emails to send (newsletters, promotional emails, product launches, onboarding sequences).

  • Creating content: Writing subject lines, email copies, and calls to action copies that match the campaign’s purpose.

  • Designing templates: Designing and creating mobile-friendly, visually consistent email layouts and templates that reflect the brand.

  • Automating workflows: Setting up triggered emails and email sequences for various use cases like nurturing a lead, recovering an abandoned cart, or renewing a subscription.

  • Testing: Running A/B tests on subject lines, content, send times, and layouts to improve performance over time.

  • Scheduling and sending: Choosing the right timing and frequency to reach subscribers without overwhelming them and automatically sending the emails.

  • Deliverability management: Monitoring spam complaints, bounce rates, and authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).

  • Performance monitoring: Once campaigns are live, you need clear insights to understand what’s working — and what to optimize next.

Why using multiple tools makes email marketing harder

Using one tool for emails, another for automation, another for segmentation, and yet another for analytics creates problems like:

  • Data silos: Your contact and engagement data gets fragmented.

  • Manual workflows: Teams waste time syncing tools and checking for errors.

  • Poor visibility: It’s hard to get a complete view of what’s working.

The gist of it is that you don’t need more tools — you need one platform that can handle all of it.

How to pick your email marketing tool

There are many email marketing tools in the market. Some tools are basic platforms designed for simple tasks such as sending newsletters, managing subscriber lists, or analytics.

Others are all-in-one platforms that provide a wider range of features, including a drag-and-drop builder, advanced segmentation, marketing automation, landing page creation, and in-depth reporting etc.

If you are working in a business that is expected to grow, an all-in-one platform is often the better choice. It allows you to centralize marketing activities, save time switching between different tools, and get deeper insights into how your audience responds across multiple channels
