Simple Email Marketing Solutions Made Easy For You

By Miller Alexander


An important aspect of email marketing is only sending messages to people who desire them. There's nothing like being accused of sending spam to trigger a mass exodus of customers. The following tips are all designed to help you make sure the people on your email list have genuinely opted in.

Keep your content current and variable; do not just repeatedly send out the same five messages repeatedly. If you want to keep people's attention, there needs to be something fresh, or their attention will go elsewhere. If they wanted round the clock commercials, they would just stay at home watching home shopping channels. Even if some of them do that, give them something different when they check their inbox.

Follow up with contacts you meet at trade shows. Collect people's phone numbers when they stop by your table and call them within a couple of weeks of meeting them. Use the follow-up call to check in with your contact and ask him if he would like to receive your marketing newsletter by email.

When emailing clients, try following up with a free warranty on your products or services. You could insert an order on the email that tells them to get this warranty immediately. The ending P.S. could tell them to act now and not to miss this incredible opportunity to try out something they may love.

Treat each reader like a relationship. Ask in the first email for permission to send more. In the second email, tell them what discounts, products and services they can expect in future emails. In the third email and after, follow through with the content you promised to provide them with.

Always get permission before contacting any customer via email. People typically think of emails that aren't desired by them as spam. As a result, they'll likely ignore or delete these messages without even viewing them. You are also taking the risk of being reported as a spammer, and violating the policies implemented by your ISP, resulting in your address being blacklisted.

Even though you may be tempted, do not fix email addresses that appear misspelled or mistyped. Given the sensitive nature of email, it is important that you do not tinker with what a person typed while opting in. If your attempts to reach a particular address continually bounce, remove it from your database and move on.

Make your emails content rich. Put some helpful information in emails and don't just put in information related to sales. Provide your readers with special content that they cannot get on your regular website. Including offers that only readers can get are also much appreciated. Sending holiday messages or birthday greetings will demonstrate your interest aside from business purchases.

Always make sure customers have a clear and concise way to opt out of emails at any time. They signed up with you because they wanted more information, and if at any time they wish to stop receiving that information, they should be able to opt out. It is only fair.

It's time for you to start your email marketing campaign, so take what you've learned here and get started! Focus on working step by step and day by day to build your business, your income and your reputation. In the end you'll be proud of your hard work when you see the profits rolling in!
