Blasting Past the Fads - Email Marketing To the Rescue
Written by PLRMan on April 18, 2009 – 10:33 pm -Email marketing is a magnificent way of getting yourself a lot of new business. You have to view it as an art form, because today people have been deluged with marketing emails and most of it is just plain old spam. When using email marketing for your company, you have to be careful with how you employ it.
Email marketing must always be used as a voluntary means of getting people to contact you. Send your newsletters and special email information bullets out each week until someone decides to communicate that they need your services or product. The question of the day here is, how will you get your email list to begin with. You get this with opt-in.
Opt-in works by having people come to your website and having the choice to sign up to get your free e-newsletter. They will give you their name and an email address. You will then make use of an autoresponder to make sure that every time you write and blast-out another issue of the newsletter, or have a special offer to tell about, this person receives a copy. They will not tag you as a spammer because they have asked that you send them your information.
Email marketing is a brilliant way of keeping your name and business in front of someone. Statistics show us that a person has to be asked directly or indirectly to buy, six times before they will acutally purchase. Sometimes, people who love you right away and buy from you right away. But that won’t be your experience with most people—so, you must keep your name in front of them, to remind them that you exist. People are overloaded these days and have no time to themselves.
Now, the thing that is great about email marketing is that you are only sending out your emails to qualified leads. These people came to your website on their own, and then signed up for your newsletters, there must be some reason for them doing that. This means that they are interested in your offer or just want to do business in some way. Some leads will be hot leads, but none of them is cold or unqualified.
Now, it’s very important that you make your e-newsletter as chock full of great content as you can without just giving away all that you do for free. Make people look forward to getting information from you and cannot wait until they get more. Direct them to share your newsletters with their friends and family. Set them up for special offers that come with every other communication. Give them the feeling that you are worthy to buy from because you are so smart, witty, entertaining, and generous with your knowledge. Go beyond what your competitors in this area are doing.
Use email marketing strategies like this and your business will eventually take off and soar.
