Prior to sharing the aptitude and approach to opt-in list building there are fables and fallacies
which should be clarified before one delves and dives into building an opt-in list. To think
these myths actually do exist can hinder healthy prospecting and prosperity of your business.

Myth One: There are not a lot of people who use email

Email marketing is one of the most effective marketing methods nowadays simply because
a mega -multitude of people use email. Check on those email fields or blanks required to be
filled up on various forms needed in processing different transactions. A person without an
email address is tantamount to a person without an online home, which is one big shameful
truth of the world in which we now live.

Myth Two: Email marketing campaigns can offend a lot of people

The not-so secret way to surmount this dilemma is through permission-based advertising.
There is no harm in trying after asking for permission.

Myth Three: It is stupid to send email to all the people

The key to this predicament is to have a very discerning eye on who to email and who not to
send email. Research and develop a form of qualifying which group of people would give
you high ROI or return on investment.

Myth Four: The Real Deal with Building Opt-in List

After clearing the air about email marketing myths, here is how one can benefit from using the
power of email marketing campaigns and building an opt-in list.

Building an opt-in list is not a piece of cake particularly for the uninitiated. Listed below are
tips on how to succeed in this kind of marketing endeavor.

#1. Collection of Data

make sales flourish. Devise an approach that encourages people to voluntarily provide you with
the information necessary to create higher conversion.

An overload of data is not good. Ask only for opt-in, with their full name and email addresses.
Make sure that the profiles that you gather are updated to aid in improving the relevance,
timeliness and satisfaction from each deal you make.

#2. Good Implementation

This old adage says it all - 'action speaks louder than words'. This easily translates to the
difficulty one has to undergo during the execution of his or her email marketing efforts. It is
a good thing that various methods, often low-cost, abound to speed up and make smooth the
building up of one's opt-in database.

Tracking your email marketing results can pose great hardship, too. Technology and relevant
sources should be employed in making this aspect of your marketing a lot manageable. Your
high traffic groups of opt-ins with the greatest result should be taken notice of.

The following methods are the most widely used to influence opt-in activity without overspending:

I). Make use of websites.

It is an excellent tool for data arrangement and providing you with relevant info regarding your
email offers. Use forms that solicit your visitor's email address and consent.

II). Make use of print ads, brochures, TV, radio and direct mail.

These are the more popular ways of marketing aiming to lead traffic to one's site. You may want
to ask for signups for email services. Make your website more visible through these media.
Offering free electronic newsletters and or rewards program can do well in making it easy to
win the nod of your audiences, too.

III). Maximize your sales force.

Customer service associates can help a lot in making you benefit more from your email
correspondence. Sales people with proper education on how to aid you in this endeavor
can very well contribute to higher ROI. Techniques like offering account updates and
special programs through email can easily land you those lists of valuable visitors.

IV). Do not make your point of sale pointless.

Forms for signup located at cash registers and other high-traffic and highly visible spots
can be very excellent venues for your business to collect email addresses. Notification
of upcoming sales through their email addresses and names can coax them to supply you
with the information you need.

V). Conferences or trade shows can work, too.

Giveaway offers or entries on sweepstakes are great for opt-in to volunteer their contact details.

These tactics should be applied with adequate caution and should focus on earning the trust of
your opt-in list instead of simply collating data for your sole own benefit. Always make sure
that the forms that you will use and other methods that you will employ will not necessitate
too much fuss to subscribe. This is for people to not be annoyed during the process of data
supplication.
