Email Marketing for Dummy's
This could be called Email Marketing 101 or any other catchy little titles but the "for dummy's" line always gets my attention when I see it and I generally will stop and review it so I thought I would try it here.
Actually anyone attempting to do any form of email marketing is more than likely a far cry from being a dummy. It talks a lot of effort, planning and for site to get one of these things up and running and the more you understand the dynamics of it the easier it is going to be for you to pull it off successfully.
Pretty much anyone in the world is capable of selling anything in the world to anyone else as long as they have the right approach to doing so. There are a few exceptions like my uncle who won't buy anything from anyone but by and large you are capable of making anyone buy if the approach is handled correctly.
I have been in sales almost all of my life and I look at each sale, physical or email related, to be a challenge and I personally enjoy finding out what makes people have to buy something. If you approach the start of your own email marketing campaign the same way there is no reason that you too can't be successful in the endeavor.
The one thing that you have to know above everything else if you are ever going to do more than just this one is how can you measure the success of the responses. People have used everything from a free whatever for everyone that responds. If the "whatever" is cheap enough then this is a good way to see if the message is actually getting into the viewing field of the people you arte sending it. Yet another measure of the effectiveness of the campaign would be the increase in the sales volume or number of inquiry requests after the email has been sent.
This is important because you need to know, especially if this is a new idea for you or your first attempt at email marketing, what is working and what is getting people to respond to you. That way on your next and subsequent email marketing attempts you can refer back to what worked and what didn't and improve your track record and hit a higher success rate. Each audience that you attempt to reach will be different so keeping accurate records can help you narrow down the clientele that is more likely to investigate and give you business.
This will help you weed out the people that are tire kicking and just after some free stuff from the people that like free stuff but also bought. You can see who actually ought more than the original or who gave repeat orders so that you can see which ones you might want to offer more to or less to in the future. It's a lot of record keeping but the end result can be huge.
