What is Email Marketing?

Email is in its most basic form of marketing, and email marketing is nothing more than a highly effective method of sending a commercial message to one or more people via email. These emails messages should be considered marketing. Why? Because it can be used for sending ads, brochures, or soliciting of new business. 

Do people even use email anymore? Good Question. Yes, email is still used today in the age of social media, text messaging and other communication means.
