Why Email Marketing?What is Email Marketing and how can your business benefit by using it?The simplest definition of Email Marketing is: a form of direct marketing which utilizes email as a means of communicating with your target market. Email Marketing should not be confused with sending unsolicited commercial email, spamming, junk lists, lead harvesting and other questionable (often illegal) forms of promotion. Conducted properly, Email Marketing can help any business reach their target market, build brand recognition, increase customer loyalty, and boost their bottom line. Advantages of Email Marketing include:
If you have been around Internet Marketing for any length of time, you have undoubtedly come across the phrase, "The Profit Is In The List". This is why so many successful businesses are using tools like autoresponders and capture pages to begin building and managing their own in-house lists. When you have a list of prospects that you know are interested in your offer, you have a valuable commodity. You can market to your lists with back-end offers, upgrade offers, additional consulting, add-on products, joint venture offers, and more. One of the keys to success is to put a consistent and focused effort into building your lists. New prospects are the life-blood of any business so it makes sense to focus a good part of your marketing efforts on generating new leads. To get the most from your lists, be sure to provide valuable content. One list I subscribe to is from a humidor company. They send out a weekly email about cigars, humidors, and related information. The messages are usually brief, sometimes entertaining, and always informative. To get sales, be sure to include your offer and links back to your web site. This same weekly cigar email I receive always includes links to specials on boxes of cigars, tools, humidors, etc... I'm amazed at the number of marketing emails I receive that don't contain even a link back to the company web site to learn more. Remember: Be clear about the purpose of your list. Work to promote and build your list at every opportunity. Stay on target with your message content. Ask for the order! Give them a link and a call to action. |
