If you’re a small business person and you would like to use the power of email to communicate your sales message to your prospects and customers, here are three keys to doing it the right way and being effective.
It?s estimated that over 60 billion emails are sent daily. That?s ?billion? with a b! Admittedly, many of those are SPAM of one sort or another, but it?s also safe to say that hundreds of millions of them are carrying marketing messages. Sadly, most of those will never be opened. Of those that are opened, many will never be read.
It makes little sense ethically or financially, to send Spam. The solution to this quandary is to be true to the small business marketing opt in list and accept that this is just the way it is. You need to know your niche market in order to build a profitable small business email list.
After your head is clear regarding how to ethically use opt-in email, you can then realize the unbelievable power and potential of email in a business sense - creating your own opt in list. Building a list isn’t always easy particularly for those lacking the knowledge.
Imagine you have a large shipment of a particular product, or an overstock. How will you get the word out? If you had a list of your customer?s email addresses, and were set-up to send them an email blast, you would know exactly what to do. Both of those things are very easy to set up, and once they?re in place it?s like having your very own fleet of mail carriers waiting to deliver your personalized marketing message.
The third key to effective small business email advertising is consistency. The power of email is that it allows you to maintain regular, laser-targeted contact with your prospects and customers, thereby building a relationship with them. Relationship is the foundation of incremental sales. Your competitors are using email to build relationship with their customers, and trying to do so with YOURS. You absolutely must meet and surpass them, or you will find your customers defecting, and your business growth slowing.
