Convincing emails are able to smash barriers between customers and purchases and provide them with strong evidences regarding the value of your products.

It sounds simple, but commonly not so easy, when it comes to the real implementation.

But:
2% of sales are made on the first contact, 5% of sales are made on the third contact, 80% of sales are made on the fifth to twelfth contact.
