How do you Collect your Email Addresses?



It should not be a surprise that collecting email addresses and actually using them is very important in today’s marketplace. There are many ways to collect email addresses. If you are a business just starting to explore the idea of email marketing here are some ways you can quickly start collecting email addresses.

1. Ask: If you own a local business that generates any type of foot traffic when a person makes a purchase just ask for it. You can be nice and polite as them if they would like to give up their email address in order to receive specials in the future and be notified when any new products hit the store. If they don’t want to give it to you they will let you know. Many will not mind.

2. Email Form on Website: if you have a website you should have a clear location where someone can submit their information in order to be put on an email newsletter list. Some visitors will not hesitate to give you their email address. It should be conveniently placed on each page of your site so that they can submit their information easily.

3. Ask over Phone: If you own a service based business that requires spending a great deal of time on the phone speaking with prospects and clients ask each and every single person you communicate with for their permission to be placed on your company newsletter. Most will be more than happy to get more information from you, especially if they called you looking for information.

Your Email Marketing Campaign Doesn’t Always Have to Sell



Email marketing is one of those things that doesn’t have directions. meaning that each email marketing campaign is going to work differently for other companies. Companies have different goals in mind with each campaign so if you have a competitor that sends out emails to their list of emails one way doesn’t mean that you have to do it that way also.

Your email marketing campaign doesn’t always have to be selling something or pushing a product. it really depends on what kind of business you have. I have seen some companies that have very strong customer loyalty that can virtually put anything into the email marketing campaign and it would be a success. Take a look at your email list and ask yourself do your customers enjoy everything about your company? Are you store that launches a new product and gets people camping out in front of your door 24 hours before so they are the first ones in the store? Or do you have a B2B business that could careless about your business and just wants information? Once you answer these questions you can figure out what kind of items you would like to include in your email marketing campaign. Some companies just want to brand their company in emails and some just constantly push a product for purchase. You have to be careful when trying to sell too much because you can quickly see your email list unsubscribing to your emails.
