Getting Your Product Moving - Expedite Email Marketing
In any business, there are a few basic principles to remember. Attract your customers with a high quality product, excellent marketing techniques, and retain them by outstanding customer service - and attract repeat business the same way. So how do you expedite email marketing to make these principles work? Do your research - know your market, know your target, and have a product that is geared toward that market. Develop a solid business plan with specific goals and the means to achieve them. And expedite email marketing by using a solid program that has the proper tools for marketing your product. You need to know how many people (also known as traffic) are accessing your website. You can expedite your email marketing by including a means of tracking what experts in the industry call click through, or open rate. This simply means that when someone receives your email, they click on a link that you provide which in turn leads them to your website, where they have the option of clicking on what is known as an opt-in. This gets the ball rolling and you have achieved a result - a satisfied customer! Response is a key element in the way to expedite email marketing. If you send out a broadcast email and no one responds, how do you know if you have reached anyone? Similarly, if someone contacts you via your website, and they don't get a response, you have lost that person as a customer. I know what I am talking about because this has happened to me a number of times. There was a cosmetics company whose product I really like. I contacted them on the Internet but they didn't have an auto responder in place and I never heard from them again, and as a consequence, they have lost me as a customer. So expedite email marketing - get the word out about your product! Use mailing lists - these can be purchased from companies who have already done the market research for you and know the target audience that they are dealing with. Set up an auto responder that issues an email when someone opts in to your website. The email should read something like this: "Hello, thank you for contacting XYZ Ceramics. We are pleased that you enjoy our website and we would like to provide you with some information that we think you will find helpful." Then follow the first email up with a series of subsequent messages, all designed to expedite your email marketing. Personalized responses will keep traffic moving through your website. Expedite email marketing by setting your autoresponder to include the name of the person who has contacted you - it means more to be addressed as "Dear Bill" than "Dear [your name here]", if you know what I mean!
