Keeping in touch with your consumers is essential for any internet business. Email is the sole available method for doing it. Even if email has its drawbacks in this era of enormous bulk communications, it remains one of your most powerful tools in the struggle for your customers' business. Even though we'd all love to have a website and product that are so fantastic that every visitor would buy anything on their first visit, it's not going to happen.
In the past few years, bulk emailers' indiscriminate practices have mostly been to blame for the negative reputation that email marketing has acquired. The kind, you know. They bombard people with spam offering dubious pharmaceuticals, watches, software, and, how shall we put this, um, personal enhancement. Their misspelled topic lines and illegible "from" addresses make them easy to identify. Most individuals are now highly hesitant to give out their email addresses, and for good reason.
Therefore, you must gain their confidence and arouse their interest in order to persuade them to join your email list. When you refer to your emails as "e-newsletters," you might gain their trust. Make it sound welcoming and cordial. Get their attention by providing them with some form of insider knowledge similar to what they were looking for when they first visited your website.
Make a commitment to your clients that they will never, ever have their email sold or handed away. This is a definite requirement. Likewise, keep your word. This implies that you must constantly check each e-newsletter you send to your list to ensure that it complies with your client agreement. Your consumers put their trust in you and anticipate that the emails you send them will be pertinent to their interests and helpful in some way. If you don't, they'll stop reading them and probably start unsubscribing from your list.
Sending them emails with promotional offers unrelated to your main business is one thing you definitely don't want to do. This is suicide, and the long-term costs will be high. For instance, if you publish an e-newsletter about your real estate development course, avoid spamming your readers with emails or newsletter advertisements advertising your newest auto-detailing info course.
Additionally, you want to watch out for your e-newsletter turning into nothing more than a glorified advertisement for your products. Customers that are knowledgeable will recognize when they are being hyped to. You'll develop trust with your clients if you keep your advertisements and website links unobtrusive yet still visible. Over time, they'll come to understand that you're not just a fly-by-night course promoter out to make a quick profit, and you'll begin to notice an increase in sales.
You have a potential gold mine in your email list, but you must handle it with care and carefully. Doing so will bring you numerous benefits.
Up until then
Good luck to you!
