I hope you hade a safe and happy 4th of July whether or not

you celebrate Independence Day with the USA. We had some nice

fireworks at our local park though I could have done without

the crowds, mud from the rains and walking around for 90

minutes waiting for the lightshow and pops to begin, lol.

Email Marketing: Affordable Internet Marketing Technique

 

Email marketing is labeled as a killer method when it comes

to effective low-cost Internet marketing endeavors. This is

because it is the most widely-used and has the best reputation

in bringing targeted traffic to websites. It is used to stay in

touch with your customers or prospective customers, send out invitations, or

make special offers.

 

It's as easy as writing an e-mail that may be in a form of a

newsletter or a plain announcement, and sending that to as many

targeted recipients as possible. However, there's an ideal way

of going about it. Email marketing is not just about writing any

email that you will be sending to anybody. To clarify that, here

are some simple tips in doing email marketing the best way

possible.

 

1. Join the "Can Spam" campaign.

 

Email marketing is not at any rate tantamount to spamming.

You are not supposed to send information that your email

list will not have any valuable use of.

 

2. Make your email list open it.

 

Your email might get lost together with the hundreds of emails

that inbox owners are confronted with everyday. Improve your

subject line by using extra white space creatively, adding

text symbols, starting each word with a capital letter,

asking compelling questions, not making any unbelievable

claims, and not using the word FREE.

 

3. Keep it real.

 

Not including any too good to be true statements is not only

applicable to your subject line. Your email content must never

embody any promise your business can't keep. Make your offer

genuinely of value to your recipients.

 

4. Don't go too low.

 

If you inform your customers regarding discounts, minimal

discounts are not that effective compared with substantial

discounts. But never offer discounts that are lower than

your profit. It will defeat the purpose of this email

marketing effort.

 

5. Make it eventful.

 

It's not about contradicting the advice that you should keep

an email short and sweet. This tip is on including seminars,

conferences and other events in your email. Businesses that

require training benefit much from this method. With these

RSVP-requiring emails, repetition is important. Just make

sure that an ample interval is considered before sending

out a reminder email.

 

6. Post news.

 

Sending newsletters and postcards provides useful information

for your subscribers. These are the best forms of reaching out

to your customers or prospects. You should keep the information

short, simple and direct to the point for this feat to be

effective.

 

With these simple ways of going about your email marketing endeavor,

Your business will prosper in no time.

Feedback

 

There is a GLITCH of some sort in the mailer for the ezine.

I am not sure why but occasionally quite a few of US, yes,

me included, get an ezmlm message about bounces- though

none of us are bouncing. I am not sure what the problem

is or how to fix it so this issue is going out with

optinlightning mailer and hopefully that will help.

 

Please do not worry that you are getting removed over

these bounce messages and I apologize for the extra

piece of mail you get with the bounce message but that

is all it is, a message. NO ONE is removed unless they

bounce back to ME or ask to be unsubbed. :-)

**************************

 

Wow, Jan. I keep getting these messages from your

autoresponder saying your newsletters are bouncing

from my Yahoo address. Something about Yahoo doesn't

like you, I guess? Why don't you go ahead and change

my address for your newsletters back to xxx@yza.net?

(You will be the only one sending newsletters to that

address, but that's okay because you rock!) ;-)

I appreciate you.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND

 

A couple drove down a country road for several miles,

not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an

argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.

 

As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,

the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"

"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
