How  to  Start  Email  Marketing  

 

For  anyone  thinking  about  setting  up  an  email  marketing  campaign  as  a  way  of  connecting  with  their  customers,  the  initial  steps  can  seem  to  be  insurmountable.  However,  it's  not  as  difficult  as  it  may  seem.  These  are  some  tips  on  how  to  go  about  it.    Consider  your  recipients    One  of  the  first  things  you  have  to  think  about  is  who  you'll  be  sending  the  emails  to.  This  is  irrespective  of  the  format  you  are  using  (either  print  or  online).  At  the  outset,  this  may  seem  pretty  straightforward,  but  you  should  really  give  it  heavy  thought  before  sending  any  emails  to  your  contact  list.  For  example,  let's  say  you're  doing  email  marketing  for  a  service  in  the  medical  industry.  You  could  have  an  email  list  composed  of  people  who  signed  up  because  of  a  link  they  found  in  some  articles  on  paying  off  student  loans.  In  this  case,  sending  them  a  medical  service-­‐related  email  instead  of  one  about  student  loans  could  have  them  not  subscribing.  The  point  is:  always  choose  a  topic  relevant  to  the  group  that  you  are  dealing  with  or  targeting.    How  many  clients  do  you  have?    Finding  this  out  is  as  easy  as  looking  at  the  number  of  genuine  emails  you  have  in  your  mailing  list.  The  content  that  you  send  could  be  affected  by  these  numbers,  but  the  more  important  thing  is  to  use  this  as  a  tool  for  measuring  potential  cost.  A  lot  of  online  email  distribution  companies  can  let  you  try  their  services  at  no  cost  if  your  email  list  has  less  than  500  records.  If  you  have  numbers  higher  than  this,  you  may  need  to  look  around  for  a  paid  service  that  has  the  best  features  at  an  affordable  price.    Going  solo  vs.  hiring  a  pro    The  decision  to  do  the  email  marketing  alone  or  to  get  a  professional  to  help  is  analogous  to  painting  a  house.  You  could  paint  using  a  lavish  color,  but  do  you  have  time  to  do  this,  and  how  sure  are  you  that  the  result  will  be  of  good  quality?  Even  if  you  decide  to  send

plain  text  emails,  there  are  some  design  aspects  such  as  formatting  and  layout  that  you  will  have  to  consider.  Many  people  have  a  bit  of  experience  with  HTML  in  terms  of  design  and  layout,  and  if  you  are  that  kind  of  person  and  like  to  do  it,  then  it  wouldn't  hurt  to  do  your  marketing  alone.  It  might  also  be  wise  to  give  the  job  to  someone  in  your  organization  who  is  creative  and  wouldn't  mind  doing  the  design  and  layout  as  a  side  project.    If  you  decide  to  get  a  professional  designer,  always  ask  for  a  sample  of  their  work.  A  lot  of  designers  won't  have  a  problem  putting  together  a  mock  design  of  your  project.  To  hire  a  professional,  expect  to  pay  between  $10  and  $50  an  hour  for  basic  HTML  design.  The  exact  price  will  depend  on  two  things:  the  experience  of  the  professional  and  the  turnaround  time  that  you  request.      Jeffrey  Cheah  is  an  online  list  building  specialist.  Discover  how  you  can  make  money  online  as  quickly  as  by  visiting  http://www.InboxCashToday.com  where  you  can  download  your  FREE  copy  of  "Inbox  Cash  Techniques"  now.  It's  only  for  a  limited  time!
