Can someone explain the types of email marketing strategies?

Types of Email Markeing :

Short-form Editorials - short and don't require much time to read.  Quick on-going communications such as a "tip of the day". Difference with postcard emails is that the focus of the message is editorial not promotional.

Newsletters – Longer version of Short-form Editorial. Newsletters helps brands/individuals  build credibility and establish them as experts in their field

Postcard Email - short and to the point; visible in its entirety when viewed. They are promotional.

Catalogue Email - Longer than postcard emails and feature several products like a print catalogue.

Auto-responders - Messages triggered automatically,  when the user completes a specific action.

Alert Emails - Similar to auto-responders but they're triggered on a particular event to which you want to draw attention to, i.e. auto respond when a product is available again.
