posted on: November 4th, 2009

Email marketing has the ability to see instant results yet, apart from increasing your sales figures, email marketing is an invaluable tool for building and maintaining relationships with loyal customers well into the future.  Yet email marketing is not being used to its fullest potential and there are easy and effective ways to start a campaign: 1.    Gather your names and email addresses and place them into an easily accessible location such as a database.  Use a database that does not require any degree of programming, yet one that you can customise and expand with your needs 2.    Create a mailing list of names of people that want you to contact them via email.  How you do this is up to you.  You can start by telephoning and asking permission to email.  Once you have compiled your list you should provide columns that are long enough to accommodate names, telephone numbers and email addresses 3.    You should be able to provide your customer list with a high degree of privacy and security 4.    Decide on whom you want to send to and what category they belong in.  To help you decide this you may need to consider what type of content they will appreciate getting from you and what content they are most likely to read.  Ask yourself how your content will help build your relationship such as newsletters, editorials or humorous writings. 5.    It is also important to consider your greeting, should it be casual, informal or highly formal. 6.    Compose your email and select your group of recipients 7.    Timing is crucial when sending your emails as most people accept and read business emails at work.  The day of the week and month is also important.

Email marketing: make your campaign attractive

posted on: October 22nd, 2009

When a visitor to your website, or a customer, opts in to receive your email newsletter you then have to work on keeping them interested. If your periodical emails fail to deliver anything of value, the subscriber may well decide to opt out. To avoid this happening, work very carefully on creating a captivating email marketing campaign. Only provide information that the subscriber will find useful and relevant to them. Receiving emails that are not interesting to the reader are going to be deleted and not even opened. Therefore, the subject heading has to be attention grabbing. Keep it real though, as making an unbelievable claim is likely to be regarded as junk or spam and be deleted. It is a difficult task trying to create a carefully crafted email marketing campaign and keep the subscribers interested. Here at Click Consult, we have proven experience in creating carefully worded campaigns that will captivate your audience and deliver valuable information to the readers.
