Every
online business provides great service to generate satisfaction among their
customers. As each and every customer receives satisfaction over their products
or the services they get, there is a great chance that they will become a
return customer and buy again. Better yet, they will recommend you to other
people that 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.
When using e-mail as the media of your marketing and advertisements, you eliminate the need for high costs. 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 in 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.
Of course
you should be also aware 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, these 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 new 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 don�t flood your mailing list with mails so that you don�t
annoy your subscribers.
