From
How to Win The Sale and Keep The Customer

Ten years ago, if someone had told me that in the year 2004, I would be able to use a low-cost marketing technique that would yield an immediate 5%, 10% and even a 30% response rate, I would not have believed it.

But it’s true.

How to Begin

If you haven’t already, begin asking your customers for their e-mail address and PERMISSION to send them "Advance Notice" of new products and "Monthly Specials."

When you talk to new prospects, ask permission to put their name and e-mail address in your personal database so you can notify them immediately when you have special offers.

The Good News

When e-mail marketing is used the right way, the benefits are astonishing.

1.) QUICK to send THOUSANDS of e-mails. As opposed to direct-mail marketing, you can send thousands of e-mails in minutes.

2.) INSTANT results. Minutes after sending your marketing e-mails, you can start seeing responses and getting orders.

3.) HIGH RESPONSE RATES. If your e-mail message is well written and sent to the right people at the right time, it is not unusual to see 5%, 10% and even 30% response rates.

4.) LOW COST. No printing or supplies cost, no postage, no time spent folding, stuffing, sealing and stamping direct- mail letters.

FACT: Jupiter Communications reports that e-mail marketing will become a $7.3 BILLION business by 2005.

FACT: E-mail volume has already eclipsed postal mail.

There are basically two types of e-mail marketing:

1.) Unsolicited bulk e-mail, and

2.) Opt-in (permission) direct e-mail

WARNING

Unsolicited bulk e-mail can get you into a LOT of trouble. What kind of trouble?

  • When you send marketing e-mails to prospects or customers WITHOUT getting their permission first, you risk losing that customer forever.
  • Many Internet service providers will discontinue your account when they get complaints from angry recipients of your unsolicited e-mail.
  • Anti-Spam regulation in the U.S. is now in effect and being enforced.

 One Secret to Know Before You Start

     If your FIRST paragraph does not immediately convey a benefit to the recipient of your e-mail, your message will be deleted.

You can get more information from an Internet Guru who has made millions with Email marketing.
