• An email list is a list of names and emails of people who have walked into your physical or virtual store.
• These people are now prospects that you can send coupons, newsletter, announcements and invitations to when you have a promotion going on.
• You want to ensure that you have an amazing relationship with your new prospects. Discover what they like, offer a birthday club, referral system or other rewards system
• Keep them interested by offering special sales and content for members of the list
