Have You Considered The Power Of Email Marketing

Old vs. New

If we consider that not so many years ago when we were selling products or services it was usual to make the phone call, engage the prospect in conversation then send a brochure. Even today most telesales people will tell you that they make approximately 100 calls per day. It varies form company to company but only a small subset of these people are spoken to. At least when they are an appropriate email can be sent to them and they will be directed to the online brochure – vis-?-vis their website. The immediate communication is amazing and email takes immediate advantage as it can arrive even whilst the conversation is happening. No longer do you have to wait for the ‘snail mail’ approach which will take on a good day 24hours but in reality up to 36 hours then arrange a follow-up.

Email Marketing

So what are the benefits of email marketing?

Email marketing is rapidly becoming the primary leader for contacting prospects and clients.

Here are the main reasons why email marketing is a high priority for many organisations:

1. It’s immediate - from idea to delivery can take less than 12 hours. Gone are the days when you had to get your creative agency to prototype a campaign, coming up with visuals that needed amending. These amendments alone took days to prepare. Once the artwork was completed you then had to wait for the finished item to go to the printers to be printed and then the finished mailer would then arrive some days afterwards. Once you had engaged the

Where Does the Money Come From?
Fact: In 2005 over 500,000 new business incorporations were organized in the United States.Fact: Of these 500,000 new businesses less than 1,000 received venture capital funding.There are vastly more entrepreneurs seeking start-up funding than there are available funding sources and investment pools. This is a fact. And yet, 499,000 incorporations occurred in 2005 without the cover of an investment funding commitment. Many of these new businesses will fail. Nevertheless, the urge to seek the fulfillment, financial security, freedom and the satisfaction of overcoming

Power of Handwritten Cards in Business
Why do we generally only send a thank you note after we have received a present after a party or wedding? Naturally we should, after all it’s good manners, and that’s how we’ve been raised. But why don’t the majority of people do it in business? We receive a present worth $100 – we send a card. We receive a client contract worth $1,000 – yet we generally don’t put pen to paper and say thank you – we’re too busy, and more often than not, think “an email will do”.Seriously, when was the last time you received a card from a business associate? It may have been so long ago yo

How Can You Overcome Your Competition
Are you in a business of having competitors? Competition has reached a new height with the invention of internet. When supply is more than demand, how can you overcome it? How do you ensure your customers continue to buy from you? You will find out a simple and practical way to outdo your competitors.The product or service you offer must be unique, better or even outstanding in some way if you are selling it in sufficient quantities to be successful. It cannot be a "me too" product. It has to have special strengths or qualities that make it different from any of the other

Estimates on How Much Companies Will Spend to Resolve the Options Backdating Issue
First some answers on a not so serious note:1. Make an estimate, then multiply by 2, divide by 0.134263 and take the square root after adding Pi times the estimate times 12.3452. Use a dart board and get some friends together to change the numbers to very high 8 figures. The one person that hits the same estimate range on the dart board 3 times is the closest to the estimate.3. Take a wild swing and at the end of the report, cite the analyst firm IMTSU 2006 (I Made This Stuff Up).There are 3 portions to the cost of resolving the options backdating issu

to prototype a campaign, coming up with visuals that needed amending. These amendments alone took days to prepare. Once the artwork was completed you then had to wait for the finished item to go to the printers to be printed and then the finished mailer would then arrive some days afterwards. Once you had engaged the willing hands of people inside the companies they would then put all of the mailshot together and someone would be nominated to take it to the Post Office for the bulk discount. (I didn’t like the taste of the envelopes that had to be stuck down!) Not surprisingly the old way has now become – no way.

2. Cost – with the noted absence of production and postal costs email campaigns are sought after as they are just so cost effective. It is possible to email up to 2500 emails for a s little as $30 per month. Simply put being this cost effective method available to large and small companies has become a ‘no brainer’.

3. Personalisation – for every email campaign having a personalised mailshot means that you will get more attention. No longer is the Dear Sir/Madam or Dear Client an acceptable way to carry on. You can easily change and personalize mail shots either using titles or first name if appropriate.

4. Metrics – This is possibly the most powerful weapon that today’s marketer has. Understanding basics that would be impossible in the old days has proven to be very successful and appealing. Imagine that you can now establish:

a. who opened the mail,
b. what time they opened it,
c. if they clicked through to a web

Its an oldie but a goodie, the Vision Board exercise. Sometimes called a Vision Collage, Treasure Map, Vision Map, etc. A wonderful, graphic way to define and align with what you really want.

Who hasn’t let a typo slip by or misspelled the CEO’s name or printed the wrong phone number somewhere? Those marketing mistakes don’t warrant an article. In fact, just one word of how-to-fix-it advice is sufficient: proofread! But what warrants an article are these 3 huge marketing mistakes that every business makes.

When I hear people tell me that the net is dead, I want to run screaming! Why do people say this? The net is very much alive and kicking and still producing great opportunities for people.
