E-mail marketing is a form of direct marketing to communicate promotional messages to potential or current customers. E-mail marketing are often more effective than printed direct mail. Here are a couple of recommendations when setting up an e-mail marketing campaign.

Determine Your Goals

Behind every successful marketing campaign there must be specific goals. You must set goals that are specific and quantifiable. Once the goals are determined, you must be committed to reach the targets. Every campaign sows better results when there is clarity of action.

E-mail Marketing Strategy

Building your Brand name

Let people know about you, your organization and your product. Create a dear image in their mind. A simple way to build branding is sending periodic newsletter over a very short period. Be consistent. Focus on a few messages that are core to your values and goals.

Building good customer relations using emails

The most vital factor in business is creating good customer relationship. Good customer relatioship will foster customer loyalty and increase the possibility of up-selling and cross-selling of your products.

Use your Newsletters or E-zines to promote your sponsors

Once you have established a large mailing list for your newsletters or e-zines, you can potentially bring in more revenues by placing relevant ads, sponsorships or affiliate programs.

Build Trust with Relevant E-mails


Besides providing newsworthy emails you must be focused on making your emails as relevant as possible to your target audience. Keep in mind that your e-mails are competing with hundred other e-mails on your subscribers' inbox. So make your subject line catchy. After all if you don't get their attention, they wont open your emails. Don't forget that the customers will read the email only if they are relevant. "When e-mail is customized conversion rates double. (SmartMoney Magazine, May 2006)"

Make your E-Mail Readable

You must consider on designing your e-mails so they are readable by many popular e-mail programs like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook. More and more web-based programs have preview panes. If your newsletter is too wide or long to load, your audience may not be able to view your newsletter. Some programs will disable images to load on e-mails for spamming reasons. You may consider not using images when sending important or urgent messages to your customers. Testing your e-mails on variety of e-mail programs and computer settings is the only way to ensure that your e-mails are readable by your audience. Many newsletter providers will provide statistics on your conversion rates. Test and measure your conversion rates. Redesign if necessary to make improvements.

Building your Mailing List with Search Engines


Search Engine marketing is an easy and affordable way to attract customers and generate leads to your website. Entice your visitors with free newsletters, white papers and product demos. Use this opportunity to ask their emails to build your mailing list.

Give your Readers some control


You must consider the recipients requirements first. Give them control. Try to understand what they want. Let them choose the format (text or HTML), of the contents, the frequency of getting e-mail, whether you can send other information, etc. Add a link to your each newsletter to allow your readers to unsubscribe from the mailing list.


Finally, sending message is not your only job. Plan for specific follow-ups. Send automated bounce-back replies. Integrate the e-mail campaign with other channels. Try to generate customer interest in every possible way.

Go ahead, all the best!

We are becoming more and more a fast-paced, automated society - so why not our home based or online business? In this article we explore the steps you can take to fully automate your own business - so you can finally take some time to stop and smell the roses....
 
You get up, have some breakfast and head to your home office for a full 8 hour day of optimizing your web site, processing orders, writing articles and press releases and so on. You know that if you stepped away from the office for a day or week or sometimes even an hour, you stand the chance of losing customers and sales. Wasn't part of the benefit of working from home supposed to be the time you would take to have a life as well?
 
Home Based Business is quickly becoming the new 'catch phrase' for the common household. Something that everyone should do, (let's not forget the tax incentives and ability to set your own hours) but unfortunately impossible for some who are already working 40-60 hours per week. Whether that is you, and you can't stop long enough to start up a business from home, or if you are the individual who already has a home based business but can't step away from it for any period of time, automating your business is the answer.
 
There are already a handful of businesses to be found on the internet that are 95% or 100% fully automated. This is reason to celebrate! It makes the idea of starting a home based business more enticing, especially for the individuals who are not internet savvy. These businesses have the selling, explaining and closing feature in place (one of the reasons 95% of new entrepreneurs fail is the awesome responsibility to be able to do those necessary tasks), and most only require the business owner to do the actual marketing of the product, which can also be automated.    

For the rest of the populous, those who already have the product do the selling, explaining and closing but want to market their goods or service via internet as opposed to offline media, then automated marketing is also the answer.

So how do we automate business? First we look at the necessary components of business; product and promotion. If you chose to work with a niche market, favouring something you have a particular interest in, then one of the best and simplest, most cost effective ways to startis by opening a store on Ebay. There, once you find your product supplier (if it isn’t your aunt Nelly’s attic) you can set up your auctions a week in advance, then leave the country for a few days while your auctions close (at a profit of course!) and when you get back, set up the next set of auctions and ship the sold products. Ebay does the advertising for you on their site, closes the sale and sends you the purchaser info. Nicely automated.
 
If you already havea store on the web, you can advertise your new products effectively (and inexpensively / freely) through Search Engine submission, Press Releases and Classified Ad or Ezine Submissions. There are numerous companies on the net that, for a fee ranging from $24 per month to $250 total, will “blast” your ad through classified directories, ezines, and online/offline media, as well as submit your website to 100+ search engine directories, even guaranteeing top 10 placement! Definitely worth the bucks! These too, can be set up in advance, submitted, and then forgotten for a week while you vacation in sunny Mexico. 
 
If you are fortunate enough to have discovered a wonderful new fully automated venture on the internet, then you really have it made! You can set up marketing campaigns through the same “blaster” services and leave the selling, explaining and closing to the automated website that came with your business or through the team leaders that direct your buyers through the sale for you. The Cadillac in internet marketing by far!

Once you have taken the time to set up your campaigns, ads, submissions, press releases, etc. then it is only a matter of pushing a button and watching the sales come in! It really can be just that simple…

Home Based Business is quickly becoming the new 'catch phrase' for the common household. Something that everyone should do, (let's not forget the tax incentives and ability to set your own hours) but unfortunately impossible for some who are already working 40-60 hours per week. Whether that is you, and you can't stop long enough to start up a business from home, or if you are the individual who already has a home based business but can't step away from it for any period of time, automating your business is the answer.
 
There are already a handful of businesses to be found on the internet that are 95% or 100% fully automated. This is reason to celebrate! It makes the idea of starting a home based business more enticing, especially for the individuals who are not internet savvy. These businesses have the selling, explaining and closing feature in place (one of the reasons 95% of new entrepreneurs fail is the awesome responsibility to be able to do those necessary tasks), and most only require the business owner to do the actual marketing of the product, which can also be automated.    

For the rest of the populous, those who already have the product do the selling, explaining and closing but want to market their goods or service via internet as opposed to offline media, then automated marketing is also the answer.

So how do we automate business? First we look at the necessary components of business; product and promotion. If you chose to work with a niche market, favouring something you have a particular interest in, then one of the best and simplest, most cost effective ways to startis by opening a store on Ebay. There, once you find your product supplier (if it isn’t your aunt Nelly’s attic) you can set up your auctions a week in advance, then leave the country for a few days while your auctions close (at a profit of course!) and when you get back, set up the next set of auctions and ship the sold products. Ebay does the advertising for you on their site, closes the sale and sends you the purchaser info. Nicely automated.
 
If you already havea store on the web, you can advertise your new products effectively (and inexpensively / freely) through Search Engine submission, Press Releases and Classified Ad or Ezine Submissions. There are numerous companies on the net that, for a fee ranging from $24 per month to $250 total, will “blast” your ad through classified directories, ezines, and online/offline media, as well as submit your website to 100+ search engine directories, even guaranteeing top 10 placement! Definitely worth the bucks! These too, can be set up in advance, submitted, and then forgotten for a week while you vacation in sunny Mexico. 
 
If you are fortunate enough to have discovered a wonderful new fully automated venture on the internet, then you really have it made! You can set up marketing campaigns through the same “blaster” services and leave the selling, explaining and closing to the automated website that came with your business or through the team leaders that direct your buyers through the sale for you. The Cadillac in internet marketing by far!

Once you have taken the time to set up your campaigns, ads, submissions, press releases, etc. then it is only a matter of pushing a button and watching the sales come in! It really can be just that simple…
