Going into business? Then you should consider email marketing campaign. Check this article on how to build and grow an effective email marketing list.
| | Offer a newsletter. This is the easiest way to build in a listing. People who will subscribe to your newsletter are your best prospects because they are obviously interested in what you have to offer. |
| | Make it easy. DO not give would-be subscribers a difficult time opting in. For example, you should not ask for too many details to be entered to complete the process. The subscriber’s name and email address should be enough. Make the process quick and simple. |
| | Make it obvious. See to it that your “OPT-IN” button is in a prominent spot from your website. In fact, you should have this button on every page of your website where people can immediately see it. |
| | Offer a gift. Another great way to encourage people to sign up is to offer freebies. Everyone loves giveaways and most people would gladly give their email accounts in exchange for a gift. It doesn’t even need to be something expensive, as long as it’s something that your customers would appreciate. |
| | Add an “opt in” button from the checkout page. Customers who purchase online are most likely to want to “opt in”. Include an “opt in” button from the checkout page where a customer can easily spot it and click on it just before completing the purchase. |
| | Don’t forget your offline contacts. People whom you come in contact to personally are also potential email subscribers. When someone purchases from your store, ask them if they would like to receive updates through their email whenever there is a sale or a special event in your shop. |
| | Ask people from your personal network- your friends and relatives to sign up for your newsletter and encourage them to invite people from their own network as well. |
| | Send quality emails. To keep your list growing, it’s important that you do not lose any of your current subscribers. One good strategy is to offer exclusive giveaways, discounts or promotions once in a while to give your subscribers something to look forward to and to keep them from clicking the “unsubscribe” link. |
