Email Marketing - The Rule of List
August 3, 2008
Email marketing can actually be considered a science, with predictable results following standardized actions. With a large enough sample, if you mail one type of offer, you will get a predictable response that will vary from the predictable response to another offer.
Email list building is a very important step if you want your website to work for you. If you want your website to get lots of web traffic, you need to make sure that your email list building efforts are properly setup from the very beginning. There are lots of email list building strategies for you to choose from. By choosing the best email list building strategy and incorporating it into your website promotion plan, you’ll be able to generate quicker and highly successful results. Email marketing can be done effectively only if you build a list of subscribers and monetize the list.
So let’s focus on the 90%. The rule suggests that 50% is attributed to the “List”. For an email campaign, it’s the email address list that you use. The promotional quality of the list is what’s important. In the case of lists, quality is determined by the relevance of the members of the list to the promotion being made. Are they in the target marketplace? Are they decision makers? Is there evidence that they respond to this type of promotion? And lastly, how dated is the evidence? These are all questions important in selecting a list (or building one!)
Create a squeeze page on your web site, and funnel all your incoming traffic to that squeeze page. The squeeze page forces visitors to opt in to your email marketing list before they can access your web pages, especially if you use your index, or main page, for the squeeze page.
Put an offer to a high value item on your squeeze page that you can give away for free. Once someone has added themselves to your opt in email marketing list, begin to build a relationship with them by sending useful content, free gifts, and sales offers to them.
