Online business provides great service in order to generate
satisfaction among their customers.
As each and every customer receives
satisfaction over their products or the services they get, there
is a good
chance that they will become a return customer and buy again. Better yet, they may
even
recommend you to other people, which could generate more business for you
and your site.
As more traffic is driven to your site, you can entice many
of them to subscribe to your mailing list or
opt-in list. This is a list where
in website visitors agree to be sent promotional materials such as
newsletters,
catalogs and such that could keep them updated about your site or the niche of
your
site. These promotional materials are sent via e-mail to the members of
the list in different time
intervals.
You can reduce the need for high cost advertising when you use
e-mail as the marketing media.
Email is free and if you can manage to make your
own promotional advertisements you can also
save a bundle there. With an opt-in
subscribers list, you are pretty sure that what you are sending
out is
received, viewed and read by the subscribers and not simply being deleted. They
have
signed up for service and have consented to receiving it.
This means that there are constant reminders to your
subscribers about all your products, new
products and services as well as any
promotions and special deals you are having. There is also
the chance that they
can be forwarded to other potential customers as they tell their friends and
families
about you and your site.
You should be also aware of the fact that a subscriber may unsubscribe when
they feel that they
are not getting what they want or expected. Make sure that
they are satisfied with your opt-in marketing
strategies and keep them excited
in receiving your newsletters and catalogs. Here are some tips that
can help
you build a list of eager subscribers.
Make your promotional materials interesting and fun. Try to
use a little creativity but not too over artsy.
Build around what your product
or service is about. For example; if you are selling car parts, put some
pictures of what is new in the auto parts world, a new wing door possibly that
can fit any car and make
it look like a Lamborghini.
Try to research what people are looking for, this way, you
stay one step ahead of them all the time and
you will be their bearer of new
tidings. They will be eager to receive what you are sending them because
they know
you always have fresh and new things to share with them.
Write good articles that can be very informational but light at the same time.
If your subscribers enjoy your
articles, they will go to your site by clicking
the links that you will be putting on your newsletter to read some
more. You
can provide articles that can connect to many people. Be diverse in your
articles. Put something
humorous, then put something informational, then put
something that has both.
Are you wary about this because you don�t like writing? No problem, there are
many professional and
experienced article writers that can do the job for you
for minimal fees. They know what they are doing
and can provide the need that
you have for your newsletters, the money that you pay for your articles are
going to be met by the many sign-ups and the potential profit from the sales
that you will get.
Create and send an E-book to your customers about anything that is related to
your business or site. Use
your knowledge and expertise in the field you have
chosen to help other people who are similarly interested.
Offer this e-book for
free. You can write about anything informational and helpful to your
subscribers. For
example; you can do manuals and guides in so many things. This
e-book could be used as a reference
for many people.
Share this e-book with everyone, even other sites; just make
sure that they don�t change the links in the
e-book that will lead people to
your site. If you want, you can always get some people to write it for you
just
like your articles. Your investment once again will be covered by the great marketing
this will generate.
Add e-coupons in your newsletters that will help them avail to special
discounts. Put a control number in
your e-coupon so that they can only be used
once. When people get discounts that can be found in your
newsletters, they
will be eager to receive your newsletter in anticipation of what you are
promoting next.
If your subscribers can get benefits from your newsletters, they will be very
eager to receive them. Just
do not flood your mailing list with mails so that
you do not annoy your subscribers.
