Nowadays, several companies use email marketing campaigns as a form of advertising due to its high response rate and return on investment. However, those who decide to do email marketing campaigns on their own do not find the experience as fruitful. The failure behind this is their lack of understanding on why you need to use an ESP (email service provider) to run a successful email marketing campaign.
For a start, if you decide to run an email marketing campaign on your own, you should be ready to face a few challenges. Other than those to do with the formatting of the emails and coming up with the address list, the main challenge is being blacklisted. Email marketing entails the sending of bulk emails from your email to other emails. These emails may be received as spam, and most people will end up marking your messages as spam. If your emails are labeled as spam by many people, your email will be blacklisted, disabling you from using it. Worse, your domain can also be blacklisted and this will prevent you and other people who use your domain from sending emails. The costs that are related to being blacklisted are high for an organization that requires its email services daily.

How ESP can reduce the risks associated with Email campaigns

The use of ESP (Email Service Provider) will avert such dangers from affecting the organization. Furthermore, the costs that the ESP will charge for creating and deploying an email marketing campaign are low, in comparison to the loss the company faces if its email or domain is blacklisted. Thus email services providers offer a cheaper and safer option of email marketing campaign.
The role of the email service provider (ESP) is another major reason why you need to use them in your email marketing campaign. ESPs will monitor your email marketing campaigns effectively, tracking the status of the emails after deployment and giving analysis of the campaign. Another role of email service providers with relation to email marketing is email list building and management. ESPs have powerful tools for the orcreation of lists and their management. This will ensure your mailing list will be most effective in achieving a high return on your email marketing investment.

Maximize the impact of the email campaign
Use of email service providers will also give you a successful email marketing campaign due to the quality controls of lists that they have in place. A campaign is directly related to the efficiency of the mailing list. Email service providers (ESPs) check lists to ensure emails that have either unsubscribed from the service or usually bounce are not included in the list.  They also ensure your seed list is updated, constantly increasing prospective clients for the success of the marketing campaign.
Finally, emails service providers help an organization in managing the marketing campaign. For instance, they answer the challenging messages put in place to block spam messages. The response solutions increase the number of emails that are delivered to audiences. Finally, ESPs can also handle automatic or manual responses to the emails deployed, leaving the organization to deal with the more genuine and interested responses.
