Email Marketing
Strategy
Email marketing strategy is very powerful if used the
right way. Im not talking about spam and just blasting
everyones email account using software that mines email
addresses and sends them thousands of advertisements that no
one wants. Email marketing done using consensual email
addresses also known as opt-in emails. These are people that
have requested and asked for more information. Or they have
opt-in to receive a newsletter from your website. Or they have
opt-in to your partners websites.
By sending out notices of sales and promoting other peoples
products to your email lists, you can make a nice supplemental
income in addition to your current online business. Dont buy
non-targeted bulk email addresses from companies, you dont know
if its just a list of email addresses theyve collected or not.
Your company could be sued or fine for spamming. You should
develop your own lists or joint venture with other businesses
to use their lists. Make sure the lists are double opt-in,
meaning the people have to confirm their permission to opt-in
by clicking a link inside the email so other people cant sign
them up to join a list without their permission.
Dont use old email lists or the lists of people you havent
contacted in 1-2 years. People forget that they have opt-in to
your lists and if you start sending them advertisements, they
will accuse you of spam.
If you have a good and responsive email list,
dont annoy them by sending out a sales pitch or offer every
other day. If you send out offers too often, people will stop
buying and may even unsubscribe if they dont find your emails
to be beneficial or worth reading. Make sure you send out
emails with good information or give out free reports or ebooks
every now and then. An effective email marketing strategy can
make you a lot of money so learn more about this subject.
