Email Marketing Foundations
Read each lesson carefully and complete its practical assignment. The narrated player above contains six corresponding slides for this module.
Lesson 1.1 — What Email Marketing Does
Email creates a direct channel for helpful communication with people who choose to hear from a business. Unlike a social feed, you control the timing and structure of messages, but you do not own a subscriber's attention.
How to apply it: Work with a realistic example from your own business or a practice business. Record your choices and the reason behind them, then check whether the reader receives a specific benefit and has meaningful control over their email preferences.
Student activity: Map one customer question to one useful email. Explain why the message benefits the reader before asking for a purchase.
Lesson 1.2 — The Customer Journey
A person might discover an educational post, request a free checklist, read a welcome sequence, consider an offer, buy, and later receive support. Different moments require different messages.
