Email Marketing – Add Capture Forms Everywhere

Posted on by

Quite possibly, the easiest way to build your email marketing list is to make sure you have added a capture form to every page of your web site. Once your web site is up, and you have visitors coming, it just makes sense to capture as many visitors’ information as you can.

The cheapest and quickest way to get that done is to make sure you have a capture form on each of your web pages.

Why not just the first page?

Not everybody goes directly to your main page. They may find your site on a search engine or from a link in an article that takes them to a page deeper inside your site. Take advantage of that visit by making sure your visitor sees your capture form and offer so they can subscribe to your email marketing list.

 

 

Email Marketing – Personalize Your Messages

Personalization Is Critical To Email Marketing Success.

Email Marketing is a powerful tool for building lists and converting those lists in to cash. Collecting information is where most marketers seem to focus their efforts. But once the information is captured, the trick is to get those subscribers to open and read your email and then actually take action.

Note the first element: Opening the email marketing message.

If the message doesn’t get opened, it won’t get read. And your email marketing stops right there.

Personalize your subject lines by adding your subscriber’s names. This is accomplished by using a name “token” like you would use for a mail merge in any popular word processing software.

We also recommend adding their name in appropriate places throughout your message body.

Adding this personal touch to your subject and copy lines will help engage your readers by making the message feel more personal.

And no matter what marketing tools or approaches you are using, the personal touch always goes a long way toward making your prospects feel comfortable with you and your message.

 

Email Marketing – Keep Your Brand Design Consistent

Your email marketing strategy should integrate as a port of your overall marketing plan. Part of that integration should include the design and content of your newsletters and campaign messages.

The layout of your email messages should mirror or at least closely resemble the layout of your web site or blog. I would also recommend including your company logo if you use one. By following this strategy, your various marketing approaches can actually help support and strengthen one another.

The idea is to have a consistent brand, look, and feel so that any time prospects or customers interact with any of your marketing materials, your image is being reinforced in a positive light.

If your email marketing design doesn’t reflect your company design, you run the risk of alienating and even confusing prospects and customers as they are unable to make the connection between your company and the message they are reading.

Think of email marketing as a single piece of the overall marketing system for your business and take every opportunity to make sure your brand, image, and message are being reinforced across all of your marketing channels.

 

Email Marketing – List Building for Bands and Musicians

Want to fill your email subscriber lists with faithful fans and followers? Here are a few tips you can use to get things started:

  1. If you have a web site or blog, be sure you add a subscription form where it is easily seen by your visitors. Include a message such as “Join Our List To Stay In Touch” so that visitors know they can expect to hear from you by subscribing to your email marketing list. (If you don’t have a web site click here to get one for about $7 per month.)
  2. Add a sign-up sheet next to your tip jar and/or next to your merchandise. Include a sign that says something like “Want To Know Where We’re Playing Next? Join Our Email List!”. Have them fill out the form with their name and email address. You can type them in to your contact manager the next day.
  3. During your performance, when appropriate such as between sets, invite your fans to drop a business card in along with their tips and let them know you will be adding them to your list for email updates.
  4. As you’re talking with booking agents, club owners, venue managers, etc… ask them for a card and ask if it would be alright for you to add them to your email list for periodic updates.

By building your list of fans, supporters, and followers, you can let them know when you will be performing in their area, when you have a CD coming out, promote special events, etc… all at the click of a button from any computer.

 

Email Marketing – Use The Preview Pane

Posted on by

Most of us already understand the importance of creating a compelling subject line. You want the subject line to be intriguing and create interest without looking spammy. By now, this is common knowledge.

But even a solid subject line may not be enough. Most email programs today operate with what is called a “preview pane” which allows readers to see the first few lines of any email marketing message without actually opening the email all the way.

How do you take advantage of this convenient little feature in your messages? Make sure the good stuff is at the top of your message. The preview pane should contain your unique selling proposition, your discount offer, your compelling benefit, etc… This way, even if your subject line is a little weak, your preview pane may help your reader decide to open your message to get more information.

When you combine a well written subject line with good content being displayed in the preview pane, your messages will get read more and your results will increase by default!

 

Email Marketing – Get Results With a Clear Call To Action

You’ve crafted a beautifully designed email message. Your HTML is beautiful. Your images pop. Your copy is crystal clear and compelling. Your readers love what you wrote and they are ready to take action.

But nothing happens. No sales. No clicks. What’s missing?

Your reader doesn’t know what to do because you didn’t tell them what to do with a clear call to action.

Creating a clear call to action is often the difference between a successful email marketing campaign and a flat-out flop.

A Call To Action is simply a clearly written set of instructions telling your reader what to do next. It may be “click on this link” or “call this number” or “visit us at”. It needs to tell your readers exactly what to do in order to take advantage of your offer.

You can even attach an incentive to your call to action, such as:

Click Here To Receive a 20% Discount

or

Call Now To Take Advantage of a Free Trial

Don’t distract by placing a lot of links or other content around your Call To Action. Make your Call To Action stand out by doing simple things such as centering it in your message, making it bold, or even making it a different color.

Check your current ads and email marketing messages. If they are missing a Call To Action, add one, today and resend!

 

Email Marketing – Personalize For Maximum Effect

We all like to be created by name and email marketing is no exception.

When your readers see their name in the subject line, the chances of your email message being opened improves dramatically. And getting your message opened by the reader is the first step to getting your readers to take action.

We highly recommend using the personalization tokens in your autoresponder campaigns to great your readers by name and personalize your messages.

Email Marketing – Avoid $$$ to Get The Money

The Key To Making $$$ Is Avoiding “$$$” in your Email Marketing Campaigns You hate spam. Your prospects and customers hate spam.

Let’s face it: Pretty much everybody hates spam.

So it just makes sense that if you’re going to launch a successful email marketing campaign, avoid looking like a spammer. (Hopefully, we don’t actually need to tell you not to spam, right?)

Many email programs and services have filters in place. Settings are either managed by the individual recipient, an automated anti-spam tool, through their ISP, or just manually deleting anything that even looks “spammy”.

So do yourself, your subscribers, and your business a favor and avoid common gimmicky nonsense in your subject line and message body to help your messages avoid the trash bin.
