Small Business Email Advertising - Keys To Success
August 21, 2008 on 7:29 am | In Business |Are you a small retailer or service business owner? Have you harnessed the power of the internet, specifically email, to communicate your marketing and sales messages to your customers and prospects? You should? here?s why and how to use small business email marketing!
It?s estimated that over 60 billion emails are sent daily. That?s ?billion? with a b! Admittedly, many of those are SPAM of one sort or another, but it?s also safe to say that hundreds of millions of them are carrying marketing messages. Sadly, most of those will never be opened. Of those that are opened, many will never be read.
As a small retailer or service business owner, your emails most likely WOULD be opened and read by your customers and prospects? IF you were using small business email marketing. Since you?re not, the question is why?
Email marketing and advertising offers you a surprisingly cost and labor-effective way to reach your customers and prospects with a laser-focused marketing message. Then, once you have found a strategy that works, it?s easy to repeat it. What could be bad about that?
Autoresponders enable you to essentially “set it and forget it” by providing a platform for email deliverability and list building. By automating much of the email campaign process, an autoresponder can free up your time to do what you are best suited to doing- building your business. You should strongly consider using an online autoresponder for your small business email advertising.
You may have thought that small business email marketing was beyond your skills, but it?s safe to say that a business owner with even the most rudimentary computer skill can have an email campaign up and running in an afternoon. After that, less than an hour a week will keep you in regular, personal contact with your customers and prospects.
