In moving, email marketing is underrated.
Half of moving companies don't do it at all.
True, email doesn't give you the thrill of winning keywords or the satisfaction of a high-ranking Google result.
But it does give you booked jobs at a low cost. And that's what every mover wants.
Ready to master email marketing before your competitors realize what they're missing?
Here's what you need to know.
They're built for marketers, not movers. That means:
❌ Extra work in unfamiliar systems
❌ Hours wasted importing / exporting lists
❌ Email metrics don't show actual ROI
Here's what a good email system should do for you:
✅ Don't let your campaigns die in spam folders
✅ Sync with your CRM so follow-ups don't get missed
✅ Show you which emails are actually booking jobs
