Targeted email marketing is one of the last equations in your online marketing campaign, but it’s also one of the best ways to stay in front of your prospect and start building the trust you need to get them to want to join you as a business partner.
Every internet business needs to have a targeted email marketing campaign, and GDI is no different. The question I hear quite often is how do you setup an effective web based email marketing system? That’s a good question, but it’s not the first question that needs to be answered.
The first question is who do you plan on targeting with your web based email marketing? If you plan on purchasing leads then you might as well pack up your bags and move onto something different.
Sending emails to a purchased list is a great way to get yourself accused of spam, and get your internet access suspended by your isp. Targeted email marketing starts by generating your own high quality leads. Generating your own leads can be done with a variety of different methods. You can use PPC, article marketing, SEO tactics, video, blogging etc…
The methods you choose will be based on your personal preference and how much advertising budget you got. The main thing to remember is always give value to your target market if you want them to trust you enough to give you their contact information.
You will also need a way to capture those leads. This is usually done by offering something for free that would be of benefit to your visitors. An autoresponder service to send out your messages at predetermined intervals is another thing that an online marketer can’t do without.
With so much spam being sent now days an online marketer has to be extra careful when using web based email marketing. One of the things you can do is protect yourself, and purchase a service that knows all the email marketing laws.
An autoresponder service is readily available online for a small monthly fee. Not only does it protect you it keeps track of your list as you get new subscribers they start receiving your emails, and when people unsubscribe they are automatically removed from your list.
This leaves you free of the hassles of keeping track of who is on your list or who is not and lets you focus on the things that are really going to make the difference like your marketing.
As you start to build your list and have your targeted email marketing system setup you need to keep in mind that if you start promoting your business or product to heavily people will be turned off and unsubscribe right quick.
Keep your emails informative and filled with value to build trust before you start to promote. People are more likely to except the promotional emails if they are receiving more value filled emails than not. I find a good ratio is one promotional email to every 4 to 6 value filled ones. It is not a rule, but does seem to work well for me.
