In all kinds of business, you need to maintain contact with customers, whether be it product update of feedback survey or conducting promotional campaign, you need to contact your clients.
The invent of online Network Marketing created a gap in the personal touch in marketing. You need to fill up the gap to succeed in Network Marketing
Before you can contact your customers, you need to have their contact. Doing business online, the main contact information is usually the Email address. You can collect email addresses through your website through a squeeze page or opt-in page. The main advantage is that the leads are targeted.
The leads collected will make up your future sale. In order to close a sale with them in future, you need to let then know you. You can do this by building your brand image. This can be done through advertisements through emails. What makes branding so important is the customer perception. Like Apple, they have successfully created a fantastic branding for its products. When people think of Mp3, they think of Ipod.
In order to maximize the results of your Email Marketing Campaign, you need to do more than just sending them information. There are more things to take note when you start your Email Marketing Campaign.
Email Like a Pro
When composing email-messages, you need to keep in mind some points to make your emails look more professional.
- Who is it from?
You need to identify yourself in your email address so people will be less reluctant to open your email. Use emails that shouts your identity e.g.
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
. Such emails can be created very easily as most hosting plans give you free emails under your website URL.
The next factor to take note is your subject line. Keep it clear, concise, and under 50 words. You can try to create interest in readers in your subject line.
- Body
Quickly identify yourself and the purpose of the message. It will be better if you state who referred you to them. Restrict the use of fancy pictures, keep it business like, or make it in line with the style of your website.
Increase The Effectiveness of Your Email
An effective email is more likely to increase traffic to your website. It also increases the returns on effort (that is for scripting the email). Here is 6 golden rules to make your email more effective;
- Brand yourself/ The Company
Whatever you are marketing, you need to brand yourself or your website so that it will leave a deep impression in people in order to differentiate yourself from the rest. Use the branding you created. Use it in all your emails in the subject line so people can recognise you.
- Honesty
Be honest in your subject line. Don't trick them to opening the email with misleading or false information. Be cautioned that it is a requirement to state accurate subject line.
- Instill Urgency
In order to make readers take action, you have to instill a sense of urgency in them to take action. Use time sensitive words like "Buy Now, While Stocks Last, Limited time, For first 100 sign ups only".
- Entice them
To further entice them to open the email or action, offer them benefits to action. You can combine urgency and the benefits in the subject line.
- Don't overdo it
Do not use too many bold, capital letters, bright colors, and punctuations( !!!!) in your text. It makes your text very confusing and distracting. But worst of all is that, the email filters may classify it as SPAM.
- Simple and Sweet
Personally I limit my emails to the main points of my purpose. Of course you should practice your own discretion as to the audience and purpose of the email.
*P.S. It is compulsory (legal requirement) for you to include an "unsubscribe tab" in your emails to reduce SPAM
