Give Readers A Choice For Increased Rates

Nick — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:05:23 +0000

One of the major problems that email marketing campaigns face is a low reading rate. If you’ve spent hours and plenty of valuable resources on your email marketing campaign, you want to be sure that your emails are going to be read. The trouble is that marketing emails are often treated as junk mail.

Sending only to opt-in email addresses is a good way to increase your reading rate. When internet users have knowingly signed on to an email list, they are less likely to kick your mails into the spam folder. While opt-in mailing lists don’t guarantee readers, they at least guarantee that your readers have heard of your company. It gives you a fighting chance.

Even better results can be gained if you increase the choices your target internet users have. If users are able to access a control panel for their email to adjust their settings, they gain a sense of empowerment over the mail they receive. Also, in direct contrast to registration forms, more options in an email control panel tend to produce better results. Instead of simply offering an opt-in or opt-out selection, try offering various types of email subscriptions for your email marketing campaign. If you want to discuss your options, talk to the web marketing experts at Click Consult.

Internet users tend to ignore email marketing when they have no control over it. In offering a control centre, you allow your readers to have some ownership of their mail. Studies have shown that this increases readership by a significant percentage.

How To Be Successful With Your Email Marketing Campaign

Nick — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:01:49 +0000

Many marketers create an email marketing campaign without spending much time planning the content or layout of their emails. Poorly crafted emails with irrelevant content that don’t offer anything substantial will not be opened or read by recipients, therefore achieving a poor conversion rate. The first aspect of a careful campaign is considering the volume of emails you send out to your subscribers. By bombarding people with emails you will lose respect very quickly as well as subscribers. By planning the content of your email marketing campaign including the material used as well as the layout, you will keep subscribers focused and interested in your communications.

Some business owners believe that by sending out huge numbers of emails to anyone and everyone they will get at least a small percentage of interested parties, but those people will probably never purchase from you again. This method of sending bulk emails without prior permission is called spam and is illegal, as well as extremely annoying for the recipient.

Using high quality squeeze pages or landing pages that give a taste of what you have to offer will encourage people to sign up, and because they are genuinely interested in your information they are more likely to make a future purchase.

To create an email marketing campaign that is successful takes a lot of time and effort, which is why here at internet marketing agency Click Consult, we will do the hard work for you and create a campaign that has high conversion rates.

Why Does Email Marketing Work?

Laura — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 11:09:22 +0000

Email marketing is used for two main reasons by a business, the main one being to improve the rapport with current customers and encouraging further sales from their existing customers. You can also build a loyal customer base by providing information freely without making a sale, encouraging your customers to stay loyal to your company. The second reason for an effective email marketing campaign is to gain new customers using permission based marketing methods.

Email marketing is a low cost method of reaching existing and potential new clients with instant results. Traditional direct mail is slow, can be unreliable and is much more expensive as well as being harder to track. Once you have an effective email marketing campaign you can target specific customers based on information that they have provided such as hobbies and interests or age and gender.

An email marketing campaign is also easier to analyse using the statistics from your campaigns. You will be able to tell who has opened and read your emails as well as who has taken an action such as visiting your website or making a purchase. Using these statistics you can improve your campaigns to achieve the highest response rates. This can take up a large amount of your time and can be a lengthy process which will be costly in terms of time and resources.

Outsourcing your email marketing campaign to a web marketing company such as here at Click Consult will be a cost effective solution, as we can create an email marketing campaign which achieves maximum results whilst you concentrate on other aspects of your business.

Starting An Email Marketing Campaign

Susie — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:07:14 +0000

Email marketing is an effective marketing method for businesses, whether online or offline. Any business can make effective use of a well created email marketing campaign as it is particularly low cost with a rapid response rate. Compared to traditional methods of marketing such as direct mail you will see an improvement in efficiency savings and response rates. A professional email marketing service will further improve your responses and your marketing list will expand rapidly.

Your mailing list will be a solid investment in the future of your business as you build a rapport with the subscribers to your list and make them aware of new products and special offers available. There are several methods for building a list and you should decide which will work best for you, or adopt a combination of methods. The opt in method entails sending emails out to a list of addresses which has been collected by your company, with the clients permission of course. You can use this method to keep customers informed of offers and discounts. Bulk mail can be used but is best avoided as you will be considered to be using spam which is heavily frowned upon and will also annoy recipients rather than gain favour.

You can also create a newsletter which you can advertise to your target audience, asking permission to send them emails with valuable information. Here at web marketing agency Click Consult, we will create an email marketing campaign that uses only ethical methods as well as building a list that will serve your company in the future.

How To Gain Trust From Your Subscribers

Click Consult — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:26:12 +0000

One element of a successful email marketing campaign is the trust between you and your subscribers. Research has shown that a person is more likely to make a purchase from someone he trusts than from a total stranger. It therefore makes perfect sense to put a lot of effort into building a rapport and confidence with the subscribers on your list.

One of the most obvious places to start building trust is by ensuring you have the person’s permission to send them communications. You can also make your welcome email to them a confirmation email so that the person can confirm they definitely want to accept your emails. On your initial email to a subscriber you could also make it clear that you will not give their details to any one else without their express permission.

Provide instructions for your subscriber to show them how to remove themselves from your list. It may seem like a negative move, offering to remove them – but if they are not interested in your emails they will never make a purchase anyway. You are also proving that you are not trying to trick them into making a purchase or into receiving loads of unwanted emails.

Here at web marketing agency Click Consult we will create an email marketing campaign that builds on your brand name from the beginning right through to the completion. We have many years experience and will show you how to create a rapport with your subscribers. Building a list of subscribers that are eager to receive your communications is the first step in building a successful campaign.

Building Your List

Susie — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:34:44 +0000

Email marketing is a low cost promotional method with many benefits. There are many components of an email marketing campaign that will need time and attention, but before this can go underway you have to collect a list of subscribers who are happy for you to contact them with offers and information. Despite the fact that the use of spam is a problem for many Internet users, you will find that most people want to receive valid information from marketers as long as they have requested it.

By using an opt in method for Internet marketing you are ensuring you have permission to send information out to subscribers and won’t risk being accused of sending spam emails. If you build a list of subscribers who have all given permission for you to communicate with them, this shows that they are already interested in what you have to say and are more likely to become a customer. By being honest from the very start you will build a solid foundation for your business. Be upfront about the opting out procedure so that a person can remove themselves from your list.

You can collect permission to email from existing customers. Ask if they are satisfied with their purchase and whether they would like you to keep in contact with any future offers. New customers can be attracted by offering a special discount or a product that isn’t available elsewhere, they can only receive the product by providing contact details and permission to email. Here at web marketing agency Click Consult we can help you to build a successful email marketing campaign in order to maximise your income.

Give Your Subscribers What They Want

Richard — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:06:55 +0000

Creating an email marketing campaign takes time to perfect. You have to create a campaign which provides value and information to your reader in order to keep their interest. If someone subscribes to your newsletter or ezine they will have an idea of what to expect, and it is this information and content that they want from you. If you fail to deliver, then they will probably stop reading your emails.

Creating an email marketing campaign that is purely a sales pitch won't keep the interest of your customers. Emails that are promotional in content are so blatantly obvious that you will lose customers. No one likes to have products forced upon them and a constant stream of promotional emails will annoy people. Make sure that the content of your emails is mainly informational without selling. Give some information that will arouse the interest and curiosity of your reader to entice them into visiting your website, which is where you provide the sales information.

If anyone does decide to unsubscribe from receiving your emails you could ask them the reason why. You can use this information to improve your email marketing campaign in the future. Professional marketing companies can give you all the information you need to create a new email marketing campaign or improve an existing campaign. Here at Click Consult we are able to collect all the necessary data such as the delivery rates, how many people opened and read your emails and how many visits you received to your website. Using our services will enable you to keep your subscribers happy and maximise ROI.

Email Marketing: Tracking Your Success

Richard — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 08:02:09 +0000

Email is one of the newest forms of direct marketing and it is becoming increasingly popular with businesses. Its popularity is largely down to the fact that an email marketing campaign is quicker and cheaper to produce than direct mail. However, if your email marketing campaign isn't carefully monitored it can cost you dearly.

It can often work out cheaper overall to outsource your campaign to a company such as here at Click Consult where we have email marketing professionals with many years' experience in creating and managing effective email marketing campaigns. We are able to track your email campaign so you will see how many emails were delivered, how many were opened and how many were clicked. Because emails are a fast delivery method you can start analysing results immediately and make any changes necessary for improvement.

By making your email marketing campaigns completely trackable you will be able to test new and different campaigns to work out which of your campaigns give you the best response rates. Constant monitoring of your campaign is essential to improve the deliverability of your emails. Higher delivery rates will mean improved numbers of visitors and conversions. The initial investment of outsourcing your email marketing campaign can be far outweighed by the improved return on investment.

There are many reasons why you should use email marketing but without tracking your campaign and monitoring the results you could lose money. Here at Click Consult our aim is to improve your return on investment with the use of a thoroughly monitored email marketing campaign.

Why Do You Need An Email Marketing Campaign?

Richard — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:02:39 +0000

Email marketing has become a popular method of communicating with customers over the last few years for several reasons. One reason is the cost, it is an extremely cheap method of communication. The high cost of postage when using direct mail will reduce your return on investment.

Email is quicker than traditional methods of mailing. As well as the planning and implementation of direct mail you have to wait a couple of days for it to be delivered, all without an accurate tracking method. How do you know who has opened a letter from you or thrown it straight in the bin? How many customers have actually read your letter and acted upon the contents? When added to the problems of constant postage strikes, conventional direct marketing becomes a costly, unreliable option.

A well planned email marketing campaign is easily monitored to enable you to achieve a high success rate. Here at Click Consult we track and monitor your email marketing campaign and can tell you how many emails were opened and how many were clicked. The latest technology ensures that we maximise the percentage of emails received by your list, therefore creating a successful marketing campaign.

The use of an email marketing campaign can help you to build a good rapport with your customers. You can personalise your emails and target them to your customers’ preferences. Using email to deliver useful information can build trust with your customers and follow this up by offering timely information about new products and services.

There are many reasons why you should have an effective email marketing campaign and here at Click Consult we can help you to achieve those high success rates.

The Power Of Email Marketing

Richard — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:05:18 +0000

When you have your own business, you are faced with a multitude of media placement techniques open to you. You are then faced with the task of deciding which method of advertising you will choose. Some methods can be quite expensive, especially until you understand how to get the best results. One of the cheapest methods of promoting your products however is email marketing.

Just one advantage to an effective email marketing campaign is the rapport you can build with your customers over time. Instead of just one sale, and never seeing them again, your customers give you their contact details giving you permission to keep them up to date with new developments in your company.

Another advantage is that email marketing is instantaneous, whilst being relatively inexpensive to maintain. Of course, it can take time to perfect and you may lose subscribers in the early days whilst you make adjustments to your campaign. Until you understand the whole creation process for a successful email marketing campaign, outsourcing some of your work to a professional marketing company such as Click Consult can be a shrewd investment.

Here at Click Consult we have more than 25 marketing professionals, all with years of experience in marketing and the latest technology at our disposal to create an email marketing campaign that produces results from day one. We understand that a well-managed, ethical email marketing campaign can produce results that make a huge difference to the success of your business.
