Those of us working to provide products and services to the marine industry will know that it often proves difficult to get marketing materials into the hands of the industry’s key decision-makers and supporting businesses as they travel the world.

Without a fixed shore-side address or permanent residential status, and without reputation affording many of us access to vessels moored behind gated marinas, how can we raise awareness of our expertise among those that really count?

Email marketing provides the perfect opportunity to reach your customers and end users where they often go every day: Their inbox.

Statistics suggest that on average, 91% of consumers check their email at least daily (Exacttarget.com).
