Email Marketing
Email marketing is simply using an email to
market. Not to be confused with spam though, you'd only market
to people who had specifically requested it - newsletter for
example. Why is it so powerful? Because very few people
will buy from a web site on their first visit, in fact
only 1% or 2% do, this means that a website loses a vast
majority of its visitors. But, if you have an email capture
form, then you would be able to stay in touch with some of
those 98% that didn't buy.
You can send emails about special offers,
discounts or useful information about your service or industry.
As you build up a relationship with those prospects through
email campaigns, the chance of them eventually buying or using
your services is greatly increased. And for those worrying
about SPAM, aside from only sending emails to those
who requested them, every email has a link to unsubscribe,
so a list will only contain active subscribers.
I offer the following services for email
marketing:
-
Set up an email sign up form on your site
-
Come up with various ways to get people to sign up
-
Work with you to come up with topics for emails
-
Write emails (or you can do it yourself if you
prefer)
-
Work with you to improve results and conversion
-
Monitor statistics - # of people signed up,
unsubscribed, % of emails opened etc.
Email marketing is one of the most effective
internet marketing methods, it's also one of the most important
methods to use. It not only produces good results but also
greatly improves the results of all other marketing efforts.
Having a web site on page one of google's results is great, but
if you don't have email campaign set up, 98% or more of those
visitors will be lost. For pay per click
campaigns having an email campaign could be the
difference between a profitable ppc campaign and a complete
failure.
Don't think an email campaign would work
for your business/industry? Email me and I would be
happy to discuss how your business could benefit from an
email campaign.
