How To Fill Your Emails With Confidence

Mike — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 08:07:40 +0000

When you send out emails as part of your online marketing campaign, you’re essentially asking your target market to have faith in you. So much of what enters the average internet user’s inbox is junk, and a large proportion of that junk is actively harmful. Internet users need to be confident that the email is from a reliable source before they click to open.

There is one very basic thing you can do to boost confidence in your email marketing messages. It’s also something that the majority of companies get wrong. All you need to do is represent yourself in the ‘from’ section correctly.

Too many companies make mistakes in this area. Most commonly, they forget that the reader signed up to a specific email list, and write just the company name. Either this or they fail to write the company name at all, trying for something clever. The trouble is that spammers have taken to clever rewrites of company names when trying to get spam past the filter.

When a reader is expecting an email from the ‘Robot pet appreciation newsletter’ and they get ‘Robopet.com’ in their sender column, they’re unlikely to make the logical leap needed. It’s best to make things easier for them, and you can talk to us at Click Consult about specific sender details in email marketing.

When you want your email’s readers to have confidence in the message’s integrity, make sure you represent yourself properly. Company name, email reason, and if possible list name are all good things to put when designating ‘from.’

Follow Every Lead

Nick — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:04:18 +0000

There’s little point in attracting customers to your site and getting them interested in your product, if you’re unable to make the most of that interest by effectively following up on leads. In internet marketing it makes no sense at all to ignore interest in your product by not responding to that interest.

One of the easiest ways to encourage site visitors to follow up their interest is to provide a form to help them request more information. Every visitor who signs up for your marketing e-mail list is a qualified lead.

Social networking sites, particularly where users are engaged in discussions related to your business, are great for generating leads. In Twitter you can even find lists of topical trends. You can search these trends for references to your products or services and directly contact potential leads.

It’s essential to follow up leads, and to treat every one as a priority. If you aren’t prepared to act on a lead and get back in touch with a potential customer, and in good time, you could easily lose important business opportunity. Not only that, but your loss could be your competitors’ gain. Leads can be efficiently followed by using an auto responder, a program on your web site that automatically responds to e-mails sent by visitors. The auto responder can then follow up on this initial contact with regular marketing e-mails. By providing effective responses, you have a greater chance of converting interest to sales.

At Click Consult we can help you generate high quality leads, and show you the best ways to follow them up effectively.

The Importance Of Trust

Richard — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:00:03 +0000

An effective email marketing campaign will help you to establish trust and respect with your search marketing subscribers. However, it is not enough to just tell your email recipients that you are trustworthy, you have to actually be trustworthy and this can be proved to your subscribers through several actions.

When you send emails, always make it clear who they are from by making sure your name is in the subject heading and the ‘sent from’ box. Use the name that your recipients will most recognise as that will encourage them to open the email. Include a familiar name in the preview pane as that is what the customer sees initially.

When you create your email marketing campaign ensure that your contact details are provided on every email along with the opportunity to unsubscribe from your list, making it easy to do so. This may seem like a backwards step but allowing a person to remove themselves from your list and making it very easy for them to do so will show that you are not trying to trick them into anything – as well as complying with regulations. Giving a person the freedom of choice often results in positive actions.

Give your email recipients an invitation to contact you, maybe by offering a competition or free prize draw. You could invite feedback on your merchandise to encourage communication. Open communication helps to build trust. There are many methods of building trust with subscribers and here at Click Consult we have the skill to help you forge a long term relationship with your subscribers.

Give Them A Reason To Read Your Email

Richard — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:05:32 +0000

So you are ready to start an email marketing campaign for your business. It is most certainly one of the most cost effective marketing marketing today. You can easily track the results you achieve. Now, before you enthusiastically launch your campaign, ask this question to yourself.

Will any of the recipients of your marketing email have any reason whatsoever to read it? In email marketing there is a huge trust factor. If people do not trust you, your email will promptly fall into their spam filter.

Thus, the way you obtained your email list can make a huge difference here. Purchased email lists usually have a lower success rate than email lists you have built up yourself through your website.

Do it right

If you build your email lists the right way and people have confirmed that they are okay with you mailing them, the trust factor is satisfied. Some new entrepreneurs often buddy up with a veteran marketer that has built a trusted list to basically promote them. The new entrepreneur gets the trust factor faster. To succeed in email marketing you need to offer your clients something that they find value in.

You need to offer them informational newsletters, maybe a freebie, a bonus and some tips and tricks. Do whatever it takes that will work for your niche market audience.

To get people to actually read your email you have to hook them with the title. Your title must scream for attention loudly or you will lose out. The secret is to never give them any reason to have your email land up in the junk folder. Choose your wording and your message carefully.

Spam And You Will Be Damned

Richard — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:13:28 +0000

The generation before ours came to know Spam as a meat product you bought in tins. Mention the word spam to people today and you will see blood pressures rise fast. Being labelled as a spammer today buys any email marketer more trouble than you can imagine. Email spamming is loathed by all internet users and has given email marketing a bad name.

The problem with spam has led to most countries introducing anti-spam legislation to try and curb this internet menace. It is no wonder that marketers have become hesitant to use email marketing.

The ante has been upped as not only will you get into legal trouble if accused of spamming, people will retaliate against your business. People who feel you are spamming them might send you an email bomb that will clog or shut down your email server.

Keep your nose clean

The worst thing any email marketer can do is use a rented spam list, a targeted spam list or a home-made spam list. These methods are the surest way to get yourself labelled as a spammer. A one-time unsolicited invitation mail is heavily frowned upon and your email normally ends up in the deleted folder. Very few people will easily read one-to-one cold canvassing emails either and often means it goes into the spam filter.

Your future emails will go there immediately. The only form of email marketing that works is getting permission through your in-house opt-in list and people might get annoyed if you mail them too often. Be clever when email marketing. Email marketing is risky and you can dig a huge hole for your business if you are not savvy in spam laws.

Why email marketing is effective

Richard — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:09:19 +0000

Email marketing is a cost-effective way of gaining targeted traffic to your business. Because a visitor has shown interest by opting in to receive your newsletter or other gift, they are probably going to be interested in your other products or services.

When someone visits your website they may browse around, but the fact is they probably won't buy anything from you on their initial visit. After leaving your site they will forget to return and the visitor you worked so hard to get is lost forever. By offering something of interest to your visitor in return for their name and email address, you can maintain contact with them as long as they are happy for you to do so.

An effective and well thought out email marketing campaign can be a lot more economical than other forms of advertising and is a gradual way to build up a trusting relationship with your subscriber. However, you need certain skills to enable you to write captivating emails along with a subject line that will make them want to read further. You also have to be able to encourage your subscriber to buy your products or services whilst maintaining the friendship you have steadily built.

The marketing professionals here at Click Consult understand the importance of email marketing and have years of experience in developing carefully planned campaigns that are designed to be as effective as possible to achieve your desired results.

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.
