How did you learn about the product or web site? There is a very good chance it was from an email. Like it or not email marketing is still the most effective form of Internet marketing from an ROI perspective.<br /><br />In fact, according to research conducted by the Direct Marketing Association, no other form of advertising or marketing produces a higher return on investment that email marketing returning an average of $43.62 for every dollar spent.<br /><br />There are several reasons why email works better than all other forms of direct marketing.<br /><br />First of all and most importantly, consumers are constantly being bombarded with advertising messages and the competition for their attention has never been more fierce. When you finally have their attention you've got maybe 2 seconds to keep it and communicate your message. Generally, when someone opens an email the marketer has their full and undivided attention without distracting banners, audio or competing messages. It is not surprising that email converts more prospects to sales at a lower cost.<br /><br />Secondly, email is cheap. In fact, it is essentially free to send an email to a list who has opted in or subscribed to receive your emails.<br /><br />Finally, email allows you to build a relationship with your prospects through repeated exposure. You can email your list anytime and as often as you wish. With that being said, how you manage this freedom can have a huge impact on the responsiveness of your list. If you are constantly attempting to hard sell your subscribers they are quickly going to opt out of your list. Instead, focus on providing valuable information that builds your credibility as an expert and trusted resource in your industry. After you do that they will buy anything from you. That is why they say having a large email opt in list or having access to one is like having the ability to print money.<br /><br />Email marketing works. Ask yourself whether you are neglecting the one form of Internet marketing that outperforms all others? If so, isn't it time to start building your own list of opt in subscribers that you can reach out to with new products and services on a regular basis?<br /><br />Don't have your own list yet?

Newsletters provide information and keep its subscribers abreast of the current events as well as developments of the company. Marketers use the newsletters to provide information related to web conferencing, new business ideas and online workshops. They are the great way to promote an online business of the organization.

An entrepreneur should be able to make effective presentation of newsletters.<br /><br />While making result-oriented email newsletters entrepreneur should consider few points. A marketer should understand the prospective customers. This enables the marketer to focus the mind on the kind of subject matter discussed in the newsletter. The subject should pertain to the interests of the customers. At first instance you should be able to allure the customer's attention towards your newsletter. This is possible by creating an engaging subject line of the email. The inside message of the mail should be informative in nature. The main aim of writing an email letter is to provide authentic information to the reader. Therefore, avoid the use of many graphics and other pictorial symbols. The use of many pictures can give an impression of fake mail. The font size used should be readable and printable. There are many times when reader wants to print the information. For easy printing marketer should keep the content inside half-inch margin. Keep a separate section for announcements and separate column for the upcoming events. One can give information on company profile, recent awards and achievements. Marketer can present product or service reviews of the company. You can have small section of jokes, inspirational quotes and other such things to engage a reader's mind. One can also post 'poll questions' or 'Ask the expert' section to elicit response from the customers. This is wonderful means to encourage participation from the reader. This can also engage reader's interest in your email letter.<br /><br />An interesting email letter can generate maximum response from the customers.

There is a need that the small mom and pop and larger chain grocery stores cannot meet. The need is to afford consumers with a way to purchase products and goods in bulk at an affordable price. Consumers save time shopping for products they use often by opting to buy in bulk and not purchasing the items individually. Consumers save money when they buy in bulk because the cost is normally less per item when they buy in bulk versus purchasing their goods individually.<br /><br />Buying in bulk is a no brainer for many consumers.<br /><br />Online marketing is employing the concept of bulk shopping to online marketing and syndication. Cutting to the chase of syndication is simple with bulk upload. Here are a few sites that are using bulk upload to help businesses and solopreuners advertise their autos, real estate, and retail products with simplicity and style.<br /><br />Photobucket<br /><br />Photobucket is an internet site that allows you to upload photos, images, and videos and share (syndicate) them by email, IM (Instant Message), or by embedding them on a blog or website. Photobucket has convenient editing features that allow you to edit your images by resizing, adding text, and even adding stickers and frames. Creating digital scrapbooks of your photos is easy with photobucket's pre-designed templates.<br /><br />If Photobucket's user platform was only able to upload one photo at a time all of the editing tools it has to offer might not seem convenient compared to the time it would take to upload all of the photos needed for a business to create a scrapbook of its' inventory. Thankfully this is isn't a problem because Photobucket has a bulk upload feature. In just a few clicks multiple photos and images can be uploaded to Photobucket. Whole files of images and photos can also be uploaded and stored on Photobucket.<br /><br />The time savings using Photobucket's bulk upload features is huge and suddenly a big marketing project will seem feasible.<br /><br />Google Documents<br /><br />Google documents is a word editor, spreadsheet creator, document storage and collaboration tool all bundled into one easy web based application. Google Docs doesn't have a bulk uploader built into the system but it does have a way to upload documents in bulk. Go to the Page titled, "Upload a file" and there is a unique email address assigned for the account holder. The Google Docs Account holder can send an email to the unique email address assigned and attach the documents to upload into the Google Docs account. Each of the attached documents (spreadsheets and pdfs aren't able to be uploaded) will upload and appear as a separate HTML document in the user's Google Docs Account.<br /><br />A second way to use bulk upload is to download the documents list uploader and drag and drop items into the "bin". Those documents will then appear in the user's Google Documents account. The documents list uploader is an application that was created by the Google Data API's Team.<br />Classified FlyerAds.com<br /><br />ClassifiedFlyerAds.com is an online tool that allows service providers and small business retailers to promote a product or service across online classified advertising venues. Creating a flyer for one listing isn't so tough, but creating flyers for multiple products can be a full time job that would require a full time paid employee. Business owners looking for a cost effective way to advertise multiple products across multiple channels should only look at products that will do most of the heavy lifting for them.<br /><br />ClassifiedFlyerAds.com enables business owners to create flyers for hundreds or even thousands of real estate listings, car listings, or retail products and then upload those multiple listings into their classifiedflyerads.com account. Once the listings are uploaded in bulk they are automatically implemented into full color templates that serve as online classified ads. The rest of the work is out of the business owner's hands as ClassifiedFlyerads.com takes the classified ads and syndicates them to top directories and feeds.<br /><br />Ebay Store owners can also take advantage of bulk upload ads by providing their Ebay product listing feed to ClassifiedFlyerAds.com. ClassifiedFlyerAds will then syndicate the classified ads across the internet.<br /><br />The online tools exist for business owners selling multiple products to advertise all of their wares in a cost effective and time savings savvy way. Cutting to the chase of syndication is simple with bulk upload.<br /><br />ClassifiedFlyerAds.com, owned by parent company Go Smart Solutions, LLC, is a web service popular with employers, service providers, online merchants, real estate agents, and auto dealers. A user-friendly process allows members to create professional web flyers which are posted to a host of online directories and optimized for maximum search engine exposure. A cost-effective marketing solution, ClassifiedFlyerAds also offers many add-on benefits, such as premier directory placement and search engine optimization.

White</em></a><em><br /></em><br />Developing brand value is critical to every organization and when professionally executed, delivers a clear and measurable competitive advantage to your firm. It does so by helping you establish a positive connection and value-relationship with your customer, which, over time, will build brand equity and increase brand value.<br /><br />Once this value-relationship is established, both internally and externally, it can be measured, monitored and enhanced periodically, as needed, to strengthen your brand’s effectiveness and increase your bottom line. Whether you’re building a new brand or energizing an existing one, developing brand value maximizes the value-relationship between corporate profitability and the perception of your brand.<br /><br /><strong>The Assessment</strong><br /><br /><strong>The first step in the fine art of branding</strong><br /><br />Customers factor brands into every purchase. The stronger the brand, meaning the clearer the position it occupies in their minds, the more value it has and the more likely they are to choose it — again and again. The goal is to get them to choose your brand over your competitions. And that’s where a strong brand value can help.<br /><br />I recommend an in-depth assessment, a strategic survey used to determine the state of your company’s brand. It helps you discover key elements important to satisfying your customer base utilizing brand research findings. The assessment provides a foundation upon which to develop the best model for customizing your brand communications master plan.<br /><br />The Assessment allows you to accurately measure the present effectiveness and value of your brand. It establishes brand value as a benchmark for future enhancement. How? By zeroing in on which qualities and attributes of your products, services and company make you different from your competition. And, how well they are perceived in the market. It helps you modify and align products, positioning messages and communications with laser point accuracy on your customers’ specific needs and wants.<br /><br />The Assessment is really a personality profile of your brand. It describes your good points, but more importantly, highlights where you are weak. It does so by using a system of inter-related measurements to gauge brand perceptions and effectiveness.<br /><br />Using a grading scale of 1-10, the assessment can test vital aspects of your brand as it relates to:<br />• Products or services<br />• Target markets<br />• Messaging<br />• Communications.<br /><br />An assessment conducts interviews with management, marketing, sales and other key employees. It will uncover segments of company operations that can do more to nourish the brand, helping you pinpoint areas ripe for improvement. The external research of an assessment includes surveys with clients, prospects, vendors and key industry personnel. It will conduct a “<strong>competitive analysis</strong>” which tells you how targeted audiences see you, your products or services and how you stack up against the competition.<br /><br />After your assessment is complete tabulate the results and ask for a customized Brand Analysis Report. These are usually very informative. Often revealing. Only after analyzing all the essential components of the branding assessment can information be provided. This detailed document shows exactly where you can improve.<br /><br /><strong>The Brand Plan</strong><br /><br /><strong>How your brand can become a work of art</strong><br /><br />Your brand is your company’s power base, its number one asset. Developing a Brand Plan is designed to ensure that your company delivers on its brand promise. It provides companies with a guidebook for continually building, measuring and enhancing brand value and helps you achieve clarity of branding focus and direction.<br /><br />First, I recommend an Assessment to find your brand’s present position and value. Then I recommend developing The Brand Plan, an in-depth master Brand Plan that defines the strategies, which can strengthen and improve your brand’s performance and market position by establishing a connection and value-relationship with your customer.<br /><br />Unlike The Assessment, the picture that is painted is not a snapshot of what you are today. The Brand Plan helps you redefine brand personality in the marketplace. It’s how your company will be tomorrow, how it will be seen and perceived by customers, potential customers, your managers, employees and vendors. When managed properly, The Brand Plan increases financial security, growth and earnings potential. It will establish a clearly defined brand vision for employees and management. Both their motivation and commitment to the delivery of the brand promise will greatly increase.<br /><br />The Brand Plan is a strategic master Brand Plan that will contain specific internal and external strategies and tactics, all with the goal of turning your brand into a work of art. It’s a brandmaster action Brand Plan that encompasses:<br /><br />• Brand objectives<br />• Brand positioning, the promise of the brand<br />• Brand strategy & tactics<br /><br />The Brand Plan aligns products, services, and communications for uniform delivery of the brand promise throughout your enterprise. Everything is spelled out, integrated, and ready for execution. This vital tool empowers every person in your company to show the true colors of your brand. It gives form and unity to communications that differentiate your brand in the marketplace. It provides a rallying point for employees and provides a cornerstone document of all corporate resources to support brand core competencies.<br /><br />As people understand the defined objectives, more ideas blossom, making the brand grow even stronger. After all, the true test of any Brand Plan is for it to appreciate over time. The Brand Plan is not a static document to be hung in some dusty museum. It’s a living, breathing, dynamic statement of change based on proven scientific testing, data analysis and measurable results.<br />Capture more mindshare with a Brand Value Plan... your palette for branding success.<br />Scott White is President of <a id="link_99" href="http://www.brandidentityguru.com/" target="_new">Brand Identity</a> Guru a leading <a id="link_100" href="http://www.brandidentityguru.com/" target="_new">Corporate Branding</a> and <a id="link_101" href="http://www.brandidentityguru.com/" target="_new">Branding</a> Research firm in Boston, MA.<br /><br />Brand Identity Guru specializes in creating corporate and product brands that increase sales, market share, customer loyalty, and brand valuation.<br /><br />This Article may be freely copied as long as it is not modified and this resource box accompanies the article, together with working hyperlinks.<br /><br />Over the course of his 15-year branding career, Scott White has worked in a wide variety of industries: high-tech, manufacturing, computer hardware and software, telecommunications, banking, restaurants, fashion, healthcare, Internet, retail, and service businesses, as well as numerous non-profit organizations.<br /><br />Brand Identity Guru clients include: Sun Life Financial, Coca Cola, HP, Sun, Nordstrom, American Federal Mortgage, Franklin Sports and many others, including numerous emerging growth companies.<br />Article Source: <a id="link_102" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Scott_D._White">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Scott_D._White</a>Kawitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08268901649257947109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010740657477119951.post-12340207853302128352009-04-14T17:40:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:41:27.227-07:00Email Marketing Tips - Secrets of Writing Eye-Stopping Subject Lines Revealed!<em>By </em><a id="link_55" onmouseover="javascript:toggle_visibility('extendbio')" onmouseout="javascript:toggle_visibility('extendbio')" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Fabian_Tan"><em>Fabian Tan</em></a><em><br /></em><br />Do you want to write subject lines that get attention and ultimately get you sales? I bet you would if you are doing any kind of email marketing. Sadly, the art of writing powerful subject lines is not one that is often discussed about, but it plays probably the biggest role in determining whether your emails get opened and read.<br /><br /><strong><em>Here is to write them professionally to grab attention:</em></strong><br /><br /><strong>1. Make It Eye-Grabbing</strong><br /><br />If you want to capture the attention of your subscribers, you need to stick out like a sore thumb! In a good way, of course. While many marketers are using similar, uninspiring headlines, what you want to do is to create a headline that incites curiosity and taps into their deepest desires and fears.<br /><br /><strong>2. Qualify Your Email</strong><br /><br />Not everyone who signs up to your list is after the same thing, especially if you are targeting a broad niche market. For example, if your niche market is Internet marketers, many of the people on your list will be at different levels of their business. So one way to target your prospects is by qualifying your email. If you want to target beginners, you can say 'For New Internet Marketers Only'. Almost all the new marketers on your list will open the email!<br /><br /><strong>3. Don't Deceive Your Subscribers</strong><br /><br />Emails that trick subscribers may get attention in the short term, but at the cost of reputation. People don't like being tricked, and if you make them think they have got an affiliate payment when you are actually promoting a product, you will lose them forever. So don't deceive your subscribers.<br /><br />Fabian Tan is a well-known Internet Marketing expert and the author of the popular 59-page Report:<br /><br />"Murder Your Job: How To Build Cash Sucking Autopilot Businesses In 30 Days Or Less!"<br />Head over to <a id="link_83" href="http://www.murderyourjob.com/" target="_new">http://www.MurderYourJob.com</a> to get your FREE copy now!<br />Also, quickly download his FREE "Explosive Traffic System" report that shows you how to generate 10,000+ unique visitors per month at no cost! => <a id="link_84" href="http://www.explosivetrafficsystem.com/" target="_new">http://www.ExplosiveTrafficSystem.com</a><br />Article Source: <a id="link_85" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Fabian_Tan">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Fabian_Tan</a>Kawitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08268901649257947109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010740657477119951.post-81878131716236069652008-02-02T08:29:00.000-08:002008-02-02T08:33:27.203-08:00The Benefits Of Email Marketing Consultants<em>By </em><a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Kirkham"><em>John Kirkham</em></a><br /><br />This article explains the role of email marketing consultants. It shows how these consultants can enhance the success of your marketing campaign.<br /><br />To enhance the effectiveness of any email marketing campaign, many businesses are turning to the services of email marketing consultants. Whilst the basic premise of email marketing may appear to offer a boundless marketing opportunity in reality there are many practical considerations that restrict the effectiveness of an email campaign. Enlisting the services of a good consultant can ameliorate these problems and enable a tweaking and refinement of your email marketing strategy that ensures both its safety and effectiveness. An email marketing consultant can also be expected to have expertise in the employment of sound and video in email to enhance the prominence and packaging of your campaign.<br /><br />A good email marketing consultant will specifically address the content of your emails to provide the most tantalising sales copy and titles, have tactics for generating interest and getting your emails noticed and provide a means of monitoring and tracking the success of your campaign. A large emphasis will be placed upon the targeting of your email campaign based upon currently available data and the companies own analysis and research.<br /><br />Your consultant should draw your attention to the CAN-SPAM act and ensure that your emails adhere to the specifications within this act. Violating this act can result in fines or even imprisonment. To comply with the act your emails must provide a postal address and also an unsubscribe link.<br /><br />If you find a good consultant then this should ensure the success of your campaign and will usefully inform any further campaigns you may wish to engage in without their help. Make sure that when considering email marketing consultancy services that they are offering value for money. Seek independent feedback on the company and communicate directly with people who have used them.<br /><br />John Kirkham runs a popular topic article site <a id="link_78" href="http://www.articlerange.com/" target="_BLANK">Article Range.com</a> that has inspiring Internet marketing articles and resources that includes guidance on producing <a id="link_79" href="http://www.articlerange.com/internet-marketing/how-to-produce-great-home-business-newsletters.htm" target="_BLANK">home business newsletters</a><br />Article Source: <a id="link_80" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Kirkham">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=John_Kirkham</a>Kawitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08268901649257947109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010740657477119951.post-26137791113057052702008-02-02T08:18:00.000-08:002008-02-02T08:21:01.607-08:00Email Forwarding - A Cautionary Tale<em>By </em><a id="link_47" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Syd_Tash"><em>Syd Tash</em></a><br /><br />I have talked a lot about email security, good email practices, how to avoid spa m and phishing s cams, etc. But here is an area not often mentioned, which deserves our attention: email forwarding.<br /><br />Recently a friend of mine who knows I am in the business of protecting people on the Internet, forwarded to me by email a copy of a newsletter he subscribes to. He thought I might be interested in it, as it dealt with new software, including security programs which I use and recommend.<br /><br />He was right. I was so interested that I clicked the Subscribe Now link at the bottom, intending to sign up right away. But I then found myself in my friend's account! I could have changed his email address or preferences, or altered his subscriptions.<br /><br />I tried closing and reopening my browser, even restarting my computer, to no avail. The simple act of visiting that web site through the link my friend had provided, caused the site to put a cookie with his account info on my hard drive. I had to delete all cookies on my PC, to solve the problem.<br /><br />So please be careful when forwarding material such as newsletters. Beware of links such as Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Manage Your Account, etc. Try to avoid including them. You can copy and paste the email into a plain text file (ending in .txt), then copy and paste it back into an email. That should deactivate the links.<br /><br />Of course, the simplest solution to this problem is to simply copy the actual body only of the material you want to forward, and then paste it into a new email. That would usually work nicely.<br /><br />Still on the subject, email is one of the main ways viruses gain access to your computer. But most malware exploits weaknesses in Windows that were patched months ago. So if you do nothing else, make yourself a sticky note and paste it on your computer: Thou shalt update Windows monthly!<br /><br />Syd Tash is a noted computer security consultant and author of How to Protect Your Computer Online - A Complete Guide.

There are tons of places and ways you can do that... But let me give you at least six to start with. </span></div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><br />These six places are...<br />1. On websites,<br />2. In newsletters,<br />3. In classified ads,<br />4. In "signature files,"<br />5. On business stationery<br />6. And in digital goods.<br /><br /><strong>On Websites<br /></strong>The most popular place for advertising an autoresponder is on the web. You can post your email link or set up a form that triggers your autoresponder on your own website.<br /><br />It works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you use your autoresponder for providing more information on a product, your website becomes a 24-hour customer service person...<br /><strong>Working around the clock for you, even while you sleep! </strong><br /><br />One of the most useful ways of using GetResponse is to offer a brief synopsis of your website via autoresponder, particularly for those visitors who may be in a hurry.<br /><br />But there are many others. In fact, autoresponders have innumerable uses and advantages. For example (and this is just a partial list), autoresponders are great for offering...<br /><ul><li>"Digital" catalogues </li><li>Specific product information </li><li>Answers to frequently asked questions (F.A.Q.) </li><li>Free stuff, such as courses, ezines or reports </li><li>Special offers or (printable) "coupons" </li><li>Samples, demos or previews </li><li>Agreements, contracts or proposals </li><li>Transcripts and manuscripts </li><li>Etc, etc, etc. </li></ul><p>With </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"> you also have the ability to use a simple wizard that will help create forms for you. All you need to do is, once done, copy and paste the resulting HTML code. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">You can also add attachments to your autoresponses. So, if you sell, say, digital products like software, then once a person buys on your website they get instant delivery! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">But that's not all... You can advertise your autoresponder not only on web pages but also on pop-ups (i.e., those small windows that pop-up when you enter or leave a website).</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Admittedly, pop-ups are annoying for some people. But when used for building an opt-in list (as discussed in lesson #3), such as offering a newsletter, they can be very productive! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Do you practice reciprocal linking? In other words, do you exchange links with other webmasters? If so, why not use your autoresponder instead of a plain link to your website?<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">People will seldom stay or buy the first time when clicking on a link. But if your link is for an autoresponder that offers a free report, a free newsletter or a free email course, you... </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>... Kill two birds with one stone!</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">In other words, unlike a URL that people click and visit only once, people who get your autoresponder emails are exposed to your website, business, product or offer more than once! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">There are other places to promote your autoresponder. For example, you can use it with banners, some pay-per-click search engines or even with your own affiliate program! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">If you have an affiliate program, you can offer your affiliates a web form they can use to promote you, one that inserts and tracks their affiliate ID into their visitors' autoresponses! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Finally, with </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"> you can create multiple accounts. While the benefit is self-explanatory, another is to track which product or web page pulls the most interest. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>In Newsletters/Op-in Lists</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">We discussed the benefits of creating an opt-in list, building your database and publishing your own ezine quite at length in lesson #3. In here, I'll discuss other people's ezines. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">First, realize that promoting your product in front of targeted, eager prospects is probably one of the most effective and productive form of online marketing currently available.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Very simply, "opt-in" email is made up of people who have asked to receive information on specific topics. By its very nature, opt-in email marketing is highly targeted.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>But what about other people's ezines or opt-in lists? </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">I</span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">nfact, there is a vast array of ezines and opt-in lists now available. The beauty of advertising in other people's lists is that you know, in advance, what type of audience they are. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">There are ezines on pretty much every topic imaginable out there. </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">For example, you can target magazine collectors, pet owners, French cuisine lovers, businesspeople... You name it! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">By the way, while I'll return to this in a future lesson, keep in mind that you must avoid SPAM... Spam is NOT opt-in email. You can lose your account, your website and your business! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Sending opt-in email is also called "permission marketing," since people are giving you the permission to promote to them. Stick with permission marketing at all times! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Nevertheless, find those newsletters or opt-in lists that target people that fit YOUR target market. Check out online ezine directories or buy a list from a reputable opt-in list broker. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Nevertheless, you can do a little research and find websites that publish ezines (or maintain opt-in lists) where you can: </span></p><ol><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Buy classified ads in, </span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Write articles for, </span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Send press releases to </span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Or purchase "solo" mailings with. </span></li></ol><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Just make sure to include your autoresponder's email link or web form URL either in their content or in the "signature file" section at the end (I'll return to "signature files" later). </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>In Classified Ads</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">It goes without saying that there are thousands of places to advertise your </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">autoresponder</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">. Classified ads are found in newspapers, magazines, websites, ezines, journals, etc. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Classified ads vary in terms of size and length, depending on where they're published. Online, most ads are 65 characters in length, and about four to five lines deep. For example: </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">--------------------------------------------------- THE INTERNET'S #1 AUTORESPONDER AND EMAIL MARKETING SERVICE Skyrocket your sales, explode your profits and save loads of time by delivering information instantly and following up automatically with your prospects, even while you sleep! See </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.hypertracker.com/go/getresponse/popuptip/004/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">http://GetResponse.com/</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">! --------------------------------------------------- </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">You can promote your autoresponder in a classified ad like the one above... But often, your ad will appear among many other ads. So, being clear, highly visible and compelling is critical! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Having a top spot is one important step. But another is to have great copy. Your ad must beg people to click it. Your choice of words can make the crucial difference... </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>... Between a winner and a dud!</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">First, find ezines and opt-in lists that target your audience. They should be #1. Find them through search engines and directories whose topics would appeal to your market. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Then, seek out the major online services, like Prodigy, Juno, AOL, Compuserve and so on. They have popular classified ad boards. Many online "malls" have classified ad sections, too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">And finally, some portals, communities and directories (not to be confused with directories like search engines) will publish your "listing," which can also be a classified ad. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>In "Signature Files"</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">A signature file is what you add at the end of every email message you send basically, a few lines to advertise you, your website or your </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.hypertracker.com/go/getresponse/popuptip/004/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"> autoresponder. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Depending on your email software, you can have a signature added to each message with your software directly, or as a separate file (text or HTML) hence a "signature file." </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">You can add a signature file (also called a "signature tag") to all your emails, newsgroup posts, message board postings and discussion lists contributions... It goes wherever you go! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Place your autoresponder email address (or website address that carries your web form) in your signature file. Typically, they are between three to five lines long... But no more! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Why? By keeping your signature short and sweet it doesn't look like an outright ad. It should identify you, your business and your link. Also, keep it under 60 characters in length. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">But you can use it to briefly and subtly promote a special offer, a free report, a website address, a free newsletter and so on. Like classified ads, the copy is VERY important. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>Here is an example of a signature file...</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Regards, Simon Grabowski, CEO Skyrocket your sales!

But if you promote your autoresponder offline, many will respond! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">For example, I know of a few offline manufacturers who use print catalogues and brochures, but supply more detailed product and technical specifications via autoresponders.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">I also know of an "elder law" attorney who offers a free report on estate planning tips through autoresponders... But he advertises mainly in senior citizen print publications. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>The possibilities are endless!</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Nevertheless, don't forget to promote something for free (like a free ezine, a free report, a free course or a free ebook) in order to encourage your "offline" prospects to email you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Remember, since they're offline they have to go through the extra effort in emailing you. So, a plain email address won't cut it! (If it were the case, they would call you instead!) </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>Finally, Digital Products (or "Viral Marketing")</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">One of the biggest trends right now is a process called "viral marketing." It's not complicated... All it is, is a message that spreads from email to email, or email to web, like a virus.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">If you create a certain "buzz," your message will be passed around from person to person like wildfire. But you can make it even easier by incorporating your message into a digital file. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Why? Because with computers, it's so easy to simply copy and paste! For example, you can create an electronic book (or "ebook"), or a piece of software (also called "freeware"). </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">For example, my friend, Michel Fortin ("The Success Doctor"), offers a free ebook on his website. It has been downloaded and passed around hundreds of thousands of times! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">The goal is to get the people who read the book to visit his website. He barely does any advertising at all, and from the book alone manages to receive thousands of unique visitors. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Whether you use an ebook or software file, hopefully your message will contain your website address. So, when it's passed around, people know where to go to get more! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>But, why not use your autoresponder address?</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">In fact, you can use your GetResponse </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.hypertracker.com/go/getresponse/popuptip/004/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">follow-ups</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"> to attach these digital documents, and have people pass your autoresponder address around so they can get it faster! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Or you can drive people to your website where there's a form people can fill out, receive the digital file in the reply and, at the same time, join your autoresponder opt-in list! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">A powerful software that I recommend to create, develop and compile your ebook is </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://ebookgold.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">http://ebookgold.com/</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">. It puts it all together into a single, self-contained executable file. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Plus, a way to encourage people to download your book and pass it around is to give it "physicality." In other words, by creating a graphic cover of your book, you give it shape. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Most people are more willing to download and pass around something they can see and appreciate. A website I suggest for creating book covers is </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://dynamitecovers.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">http://dynamitecovers.com/</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">.<br />Write a short story. Create an instruction manual. Compile a synopsis of your website. Publish a collection of your best articles or past ezine issues. Or assemble a trial version. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>And then use your autoresponder to pass it around!</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"><strong>"Power up your follow-up" right now!

Including special backend offers! </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Smart autoresponders allow you to promote to a growing base of email addresses that you establish over time. But before starting the process, you need to start capturing emails! </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>The Dynamics of Lead Generation</strong><br />Traditional ways of lead generation is a costly endeavor. For example, if you were to use direct mail to scoop up prospects, you have to pay for the "3 P's" of direct mail... </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>Printing, Paper And postage.</strong><br />And that's a bare minimum, because it doesn't account for the list you must either rent or buy, the labels you must peal and stick, and the time it takes to stuff it all into envelopes.<br />Plus, they may or may not be targeted! </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">If you want to find quality leads, first you do a blind mailing (even though you may think the audience is targeted, they're only suspects at this point... Not prospects!). </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Then, once they come forward and ask for more information, the mailing process repeats itself! So, chasing down quality leads can become agonizingly slow and expensive! </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>The Internet changes all that! Unlike the "3 P's"</strong> <strong>of direct mail, email has "3 F's."</strong> In other words, delivery of email is free, fast and focused. Why did I say "focused?" Here's what I mean...</span></p><p><span style="color:#cc9933;"><br />With permission marketing and NOT spam (i.e., where people opt in and voluntarily come forward to ask for your information FIRST before you mail them), email is highly targeted! </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Your email is focused on the customer from the get "go!" </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>How to Start Capturing Email Addresses...</strong><br />Offline, buying leads or labels is a blind attempt at "hitting the target." But with </span></span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.hypertracker.com/go/getresponse/popuptip/003/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;color:#cc9933;"><strong>GetResponse</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;color:#cc9933;"> you are creating your own list of "hot" prospects to email to over and over again! </span></p><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;"><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Developing an opt-in list is done by compiling email addresses of recipients that have given you permission to email them with information that pertains to what they opted for. </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">People subscribing not only get an instant reply or a series of follow-ups thereafter, but they can also get, say, newsletter issues, product announcements, special offers and so on.</span></p><p><span style="color:#cc9933;"><br /><strong>Building a quality, "targeted"</strong> list of prospects is the most important thing you can do for your business. How many times have you let your visitors slip away, never to return? </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">The best way to generate repeat visitors to your site is to ask (and capture) their email addresses. The easiest way is by offering an opt-in subscription to some kind of publication. </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">At minimum, you should publish a periodic email newsletter to inform visitors of new product updates or website changes. </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Nevertheless, you must build your opt-in list right away, and do whatever you can to capture people's email addresses and their permission to email them... And avoid SPAM! </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Why is it so important? Realize that the money is not in the one-time sale (as it is with spam) but in the lifetime value of a customer. </span></p><p><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>People who buy can do so again and again...</strong><br />If you keep them informed, interested and persuaded!<br />Several of the following techniques may seem obvious to you, but sometimes they are overlooked. </span></p><p><span style="color:#cc9933;">My advice to you is to use them all or as many as you can to build your lists!<br />First, remember that your autoresponder's database may be comprised of several types of people. For example, it may include one or several opt-in lists consisting of...</span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#cc9933;">Current and new customers; </span></li><li><span style="color:#cc9933;">Prospects (people asking for more information); </span></li><li><span style="color:#cc9933;">Subscribers (to a newsletter, for example); </span></li><li><span style="color:#cc9933;">And other people's customers. </span></li></ul><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>Let's take a quick at each one. Shall we?</strong> </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;"><strong>1. Customers</strong><br />Unless your business is <strong>completely new</strong>, you probably have a <strong>list of customers</strong> right now. Your customers' names and email addresses will create the first and best list you will ever own. </span></p><p><br /><span style="color:#cc9933;">Once they buy from you, their <strong>defenses are down</strong>. A trust has been built and a relationship has been established. Current customers <strong>are poised</strong> to buying from you again in the future. </span></p><span style="color:#cc9933;"><p><br /><strong>Never abandon your "existing" customer base!</strong><br />You spent <strong>money</strong>, <strong>time and energy</strong> on acquiring these new customers... But if you try to sell them again, those expenses are virtually non-existent! Acquisition costs are <strong>near ZERO!</strong> </p><p><br />If you don't have the email addresses of your customers, then you need to start <strong>compiling them</strong>. First, you should ask all your new customers' email addresses from this point on. </p><p><br />With your <strong>current customers</strong>, try to collect email addresses as much as you can. For instance, next time you send a mailer or flyer, offer <strong>something for free</strong> if they respond by email! </p><ul><li>A contest or draw, </li><li>A survey or poll, </li><li>An electronic book (or "ebook"), </li><li>A email-only discount, </li><li>A gift certificate, </li><li>A free report, </li><li>A new unreleased product, </li><li>A free email newsletter, </li><li>A special offer, </li><li>An open house, </li><li>An affiliate program, </li><li>Etc, etc, etc. </li></ul><p><br /><strong>Whatever it takes!</strong> And with </span></span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;color:#cc9933;"><strong>GetResponse</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;color:#cc9933;"> you can also collect <strong>all types of information</strong>, like first names, last names, addresses, etc, which you can add to your emails! </span></p><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;color:#cc9933;"><p><br /><strong>There's a lot of power in personalization!</strong><br />Then start "monetizing" your opt-in list! For example, make backend offers, joint venture offers, even<strong> endorsed offers</strong> (such as with a product you are an affiliate with) and so on! </p><p><br /><strong>2. Prospects</strong><br />From now on, you should start compiling the email addresses of your <strong>"hot" prospects</strong>, too! If they want more information, they're identifying themselves as <strong>interested and motivated!</strong> </p><p><br />Your <strong>eager prospects</strong> received not only an instant reply with the information they asked for and <strong>a series of follow-ups</strong>, but they, too, should be placed into an opt-in list. </p><p><br />Remember, these prospects may not buy after the first or even the seventh exposure. And the <strong>possible reasons</strong> are many... Such as no interest, no time, no money, etc.<br />(Or they just found a more appropriate offer elsewhere.)</p><p><br />But these now <strong>"warm" prospects</strong> may be in a better position to buy in the future, or may be interested in something else you offer. Or they may become <strong>great referral sources!</strong></p><p><br />In fact, whether they are interested or not, or they ask for more information or not, <strong>they should also become</strong>... </p><p><br /><strong>3. Subscribers</strong><br />In addition to your customers, non-customers and prospects, you can also start building a list of <strong>opt-in subscribers!</strong> They can join your list in return for getting something free... </p><p><br /><strong>But if you don't, your visitors are slipping away!</strong><br />For instance, place a form on your website or an email link pointing to your autoresponder, offering visitors to subscribe to your mailing list. In return, offer them <strong>something for free</strong>. </p><p><br />It might be a free report, an email newsletter (or "ezine"), an extra discount, a coupon, a course (with lessons delivered incrementally, like this one!) and so on... <strong>Anything free!</strong> </p><p><br />Visitors <strong>may not buy</strong> from you the first time.

Ways to Use Smart Autoresponders</strong><br /><br />So, autoresponders allow you to automate the process of instantly replying to someone who either 1) asked for more information or 2) did something (such as buying from you).<br /><br />When you start putting the <strong>wheels in motion</strong> to consistently follow up with your prospects, you'll start seeing the incredible results this amazing tool brings!<br /><br />For example, you can use your autoresponder to...<br />Send instant information to people who request it;<br />Follow-up automatically with your HOT prospects;<br />Deliver a multi-step course or offer lessons by email;<br />Publish your ezine by broadcasting to your opt-in list;<br />Convert inactive or "dead" leads in your current list;<br />And promote (i.e., "upsell") backend products!<br />But before I go into further detail about these, I want you to understand the power of automation and the importance and the huge savings! of using </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">. </span><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><strong>Why Put Your Business on Autopilot...</strong><br /><br />Let's say you place a simple classified ad on the Internet for your product. It carries your offer and your email address so that your prospects can contact you for more information.<br />Great. Now, let's also say that your ad is viewed by thousands of people and, conservatively, generates over 300 queries on the first day of publishing. That's pretty good, right?<br /><br /><strong>But here's the kicker...</strong><br /><br />Every information request you receive has a specific question to answer. Now, how in the world are you going to be able to handle 300 information requests without going nuts?<br /><br />For example, answering just one email may take you anywhere from 10-15 minutes! If you do the math, you have 75 hours of work ahead of you... And that's only for the first day!<br /><br />That means, on the first day you'll only be able to answer just a third of those requests that's just 100! The other 200 will still be waiting and likely lose all interest by that point!<br /><br />Your HOTTEST prospects have now gone ice cold! And this doesn't account for all the future requests you are bound to receive on the second or third day your ad is published!<br /><br /><strong>You Must "Hit the Iron While It's HOT!"</strong><br /><br />Prospects want information fast. But they will lose interest if they have to wait for your response! Heck, some of them won't probably even remember you by the time you respond!<br />And a bigger problem is, this is just for the initial reply you haven't even begun following up with them, yet! Can you see the damage and the frustration! this can cause you?<br /><br />It's impossible to manually handle such a large volume of requests... At least, to do it all, and on time, particularly when the prospect is "hot!" (Unless you have a staff of workers!)<br /><br />If you think that hiring staff is the way to go, don't forget that on the Internet, people from around the world are seeing your ad, 24/7, around the clock. Can you afford overtime?<br /><br />However, autoresponders like </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> allow you to instantly answer ALL information requests from anyone around the world at any time... Even while you sleep! </span><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><strong>So, let's at the same scenario but with a different twist...</strong><br /><br />You advertise with your classified ad again. But this time, however, you insert your autoresponder's email address for offering more information instead of your personal one.<br />When someone sends email to that address, they receive a reply within seconds! Not in minutes, hours or days, but NOW!<br /><br /><strong>Going a Step Further...</strong><br /><br />To this point, I'm sure you understand the concept. But now, let me show you how you can start seeing the immense profitability in using "smart" autoreponders specifically.<br /><br />Let's say that the people who requested your information got it, read it over but pushed it aside... They're just undecided at this point and want to "think about it." It's understandable.<br />But if you leave it at that, here's what can happen...<br /><br />They're too busy and never go ahead,<br />They lost or misplaced your email,<br />They became swamped with other emails,<br />They deleted your email by accident,<br />They forgot about your offer,<br />They lost interest in your offer,<br />They found a better offer elsewhere,<br />They forgot how to contact you,<br />And so on.<br /><br /><strong>Can you see the problem?</strong><br /><br />With an "intelligent" autoresponder like </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> you can set it up so that additional reminder messages are sent out to your prospects automatically! </span><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br />By increasing the number of exposures to your message, your prospects will likely never forget or lose your email, and your prospect will think of you first when they do go ahead!<br /><br />If, out of those 300 initial information requests, 10 people go ahead, the remaining 290 are kept for you, added to your autoresponder cycle and automatically followed up with...<br /><br /><strong>... As many times as is necessary!</strong><br /><br />Moreover, they're instantly added to your database, so you can contact them at any time, in the future, when you want! That way, you can start building a targeted opt-in list!<br /><br />On top of getting automated, sequenced follow-ups, you can use it to publish an ezine, promote offers from JV partners or affiliate programs, or make special announcements!<br /><br />Doing so, you've not only raised the chances of selling that customer but also increased that customer's lifetime value by increasing the number of sales... With the same customer!<br /><br />For example, let's say your business is about car parts. Your initial reply sends information about your business, or perhaps about a specific part a person wants more information on.<br /><br />They then get an email follow-up, once a week. They finally decide to buy. But in a few weeks down the road, you email them about, say, another part to go with the same car!<br /><br />In other words, you can get them to buy again and again! They bought from you once, so trust is already established... Your client acquisition costs are virtually non-existent!<br /><br /><strong>How to Structure Your Follow-up Sequence</strong><br /><br />In addition to sending email to an address, autoresponders can be triggered from a form on your website, where the visitor will enter his information and receive an instant reply.<br />But now you want to set up a sequence of "autoresponses," so you can send further messages to your prospects at intervals you specify (such as two, five or seven days later).<br /><br /><strong>Here is an example of an initial autoresponse message...</strong><br /><br /><em>> Dear John Doe,<br />> Thank you for requesting more information on our<br />> products earlier. I have attached a document to this email<br />> containing our price listings for<br />> August's catalogue of products.<br />> Please read through it at your convenience, John.<br />> I will get back to you the same time on Wednesday<br />> with our special offers.<br />> Feel free to send me an email or call me, toll-<br />> free at 877-555-1212, if you like to discuss your<br />> needs in greater detail.<br />> Thanks again,<br />> Joe Bloggs<br />> Bloggs Business Supplies Inc.</em><br /><br />By the way, the words in red have been automatically added by the autoresponder for you. It can capture and add a first name, full name, month, year, a few days ahead, you name it!<br /><br />Why? Because with </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">GetResponse</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> you can ask for additional pieces of information, such as through a web form, and incorporate them into your email messages! </span><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><strong>You can also attach documents!</strong><br /><br />Then, a series of follow-up messages are sent over time at intervals you choose! Here's one example of a sequence for following up with prospects who have requested information:<br /><br />1st message is sent immediately<br />2nd message is sent 2 days later<br />3rd message is sent 5 days later<br />4th message is sent 8 days later<br />5th message is sent 12 days later<br />6th message is sent 16 days later<br />7th message is sent 20 days later<br /><br />(Also, keep in mind that the timeframe may be different, depending on your type of business, product or market.)<br /><br /><strong>An Example of a Follow-up Sequence</strong><br /><br />Below, I will illustrate how to set up your autoresponder with a sample sequence suitable for following up with people who have, say, requested information on a particular product.<br /><br />Autoresponse: A "Thanks" for Requesting Information<br /><br />The aim is to thank your prospect for requesting information and introduce your website or product to them. It's important to outline the major benefits and what's in it for them!<br /><br /><strong>Follow-Up #1: Introduce a Deadline or Time-Limited Offer</strong><br /><br />After a few days, your prospect can easily forget about you. Don't just remind them of your offer but also make them feel a sense of urgency, like, "I better get this before it's too late".<br /><br />Use scarcity, such as time-limited or quantity-bound offer. Perhaps there are only a 17 seats left at a seminar you are promoting, or maybe only 200 copies of your book printed.<br /><br /><strong>Follow-Up #2: Reinforce Benefits to Persuade Prospects</strong><br /><br />Sent 3-5 days after the original request, elaborate on the offer by reinforcing the benefits. Stress the benefits they get from buying your product or doing business with you.<br /><br /><strong>Follow-Up #3: Pile on the Bonuses to Get Them Excited</strong><br /><br />Stress the bonuses or premiums (many people buy products just for the bonuses). Remind them that bonuses are limited and guaranteed for a number of days. Again, use scarcity!<br /><br /><strong>Follow-Up #4: Build Value by Comparing Your Product </strong><br /><br /><strong>Demonstrate the value by comparing "apples to oranges." If you're selling a report on how to create websites, compare it to paying an experienced (and rather costly) web designer!</strong><br /><br /><strong>Follow-Up #5: Boost Desire with Glowing Testimonials</strong><br /><br />Build trust. You're totally unknown to your prospects. But they will trust you far more if you give examples of what other people have said about your company and product.<br /><br /><strong>Follow-Up #6: Demand Action and Remind of Deadline </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>This final step of your sequence is what makes or breaks the sale. Remind your prospect of the benefits of your product, and especially the urgency and scarcity, like a deadline.<br /><br /><strong>(Potential) Follow-Up #7: Do Market Research</strong><br /><br />Remember that even when the follow-up sequence is complete your prospects are still very valuable to you, whether they bought or not. First, you can contact them for research.<br /><br />Ask them why they haven't bought from you. The information they provide may help you change your offer or even rewrite (or add something to) your autoresponder sequence.<br /><br />Second, contact them on a regular basis thereafter (using your autoresponder's "broadcast" feature) to let them know of website updates, new products, special offers, etc.<br /><br />Now, it's Your Turn...<br />If you want to try it out at no cost to you, then sign up for </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.getresponse.com/orderfree.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">GetResponse FREE</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">.

Because it gives people instant access to information! </div><div align="left"><br /><strong>Think about it.<br /></strong>People are more likely to send an email to autoresponder than to a real, say, sales department. The reason? People want information NOW! They don't want to wait nor ask for it.<br />But the reason why marketers love "smart" autoresponders specifically is because, when prospects request information, their inquiry gives you permission to follow up with them!<br />"Smart" or "intelligent" autoresponders go further than just a one-time reply, because they allow you to correspond with personalized follow-up messages after the initial reply...<br />Such as our </span><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.hypertracker.com/go/getresponse/popuptip/001/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">GetResponse </span></a><span style="font-size:78%;">! </span></div><span style="font-size:78%;"><div align="left"><br />The beauty is that they can all be pre-written, pre-set and pre-programmed... </div><div align="left">Only once! You decide how many emails, write the messages and set the intervals between them... And that's it! In other words, smart autoresponders are like automated salespeople working for you, in the background, around the clock, so you don't have to! But there's more...<br />How to Boost Sales up to 400%! </div><div align="left"><br />If you don't have a professional, personalized, systematic and timely follow-up approach that hits your prospects with your message at least four to eight times, you're losing money!<br />The bottom-line is this: following up can increase your sales significantly. In fact, sending multiple follow-up messages can increase sales by 80% and as much as 400% or even more! </div><div align="left"><br /><strong>"Power up your follow-up"</strong> right now!

But a single email is NEVER enough and in fact can be more costly down the road. Here's why... </div><div align="left"><br />Like standard advertising, it takes repetition in order to get people to first absorb the message, understand it and then ultimately take action. </div><div align="left"><br />Naturally, some people will immediately respond while others need to see the message more than once before they even think about responding. </div><div align="left"><br />The reason is that each individual has a specific buying behavior. For example, the marketplace is divided into several, graduated segments that are based on such behaviors. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:78%;">They are:<br />Innovators (2.5%),<br />Early adopters (13.5%),<br />Early majority (34%),<br />Late majority (34%)<br />And laggards (16%). </span></div><span style="font-size:78%;"><div align="left"><br />Innovators are risk-takers and venturesome. They usually respond to new offers immediately and quickly, without giving them much thought. </div><div align="left"><br />Early adopters are impulsive, too, and respond to new ideas early taking action soon after the innovators do, albeit a little more carefully. </div><div align="left"><br />The bulk of the market consist of the "middle majority" (68%), consisting of the early and late majorities. It's the biggest "piece of the pie." </div><div align="left"><br />The first half, or early majority, typically respond to new ideas fairly quickly but are a little more cautious and conservative than early adopters. </div><div align="left"><br />The late majority, however, are more skeptical, careful and slow. They take their time, usually shop around and need to see offers more than a few times before giving them any consideration.<br />The final segment, or laggards, are the slowest to respond. They take action only after time has elapsed, usually once everyone else has done so. </div><div align="left"><br /><strong>So, what does it all mean to you?</strong> </div><div align="left"><br />Ultimately, the important thing to note here is that a marketer's goal is to effectively reach, persuade and incite the largest segment... </div><div align="left"><br />The middle majority (68% of your market). </div><div align="left"><br />But doing so is difficult to do with a mere, single mailing. Repeating your marketing message more than once is essential with this group. </div><div align="left"><br />Email marketing is much like blacksmithing. To mold the metal, you must hit the iron: 1) </div><div align="left">while it's hot, 2) in the right way and 3) many times. </div><div align="left"><br />Similarly, since the bulk of most sales occur in the follow-up process, you need to follow up in a timely, consistent and compelling manner. </div><div align="left"><br /><strong>Why a Next Generation Autoresponder?</strong> </div><div align="left"><br />At the beginning, I used to store my prospects' emails in a database and manually deliver regular mailings to them.
