In all kinds of business, you need to maintain contact with customers, whether be it product update of feedback survey or conducting promotional campaign, you need to contact your clients.
Doing MLM/ Network Marketing online lack the human touch that offline marketing have. But it is possible to make up for that flaw.
Doing MLM/ Network Marketing online, the first most important thing is collecting leads, most often through a opt-in form or squeeze page. These leads are targeted leads, which mean that they are people who are interested in your company or product.
These are your potential cash cows. You need to follow up with them, update them regularly, forming a relationship. The purpose of doing this is to increase their awareness of your company or product. Imagine, today if you keep seeing the advertisement of, say, MacDonald’s, the next time you make a decision on where to eat, you will probable be thinking of MacDonald’s. You need to get them to see your advertisements. The easiest way is to send them emails.
Email Marketing is not just sending information and updates. There are many things you need to take note when doing Email Marketing. Here are some tips on how you can maximize the results from your Email Marketing Campaign.
Email Like A Pro
When composing email-messages, you need to keep in mind some points to make your emails look more professional.
- Who is it from?
People will see who sent them the email before opening them. This makes your email address very important. To look more professional, please refrain from using free email accounts like @gmail, @yahoo or @hotmail. Use something that your customer recognizes, such as your name or company name. e.g. support @yourcompanyname.com. most hosting package gives you a number of emails account you can create under your own domain name.
- Subject
Another factor that determines if a person opens up your email is the subject line. Your subject line must attract them or create interest to know more. Generally as a rule, keep it under 50 characters.
- Message text
Quickly identify yourself and the purpose of the message. It will be better if you state who referred you to them. Restrict the use of fancy pictures, keep it business like, or make it in line with the style of your website.
Increase The Effectiveness Of Your Email
An effective email is more likely to increase traffic to your website. It also increases the returns on effort (that is for scripting the email). Here is 6 golden rules to make your email more effective;
- Brand yourself/ the company
Remember to brand yourself or the Company, whichever you are representing. Good branding will make readers remember you, or your company. Keep to the branding you choose, and use it consistently, every time you email them. Use the branding in your from line or subject line, so they can recognize you.
- Honesty
Be honest in your subject line. Don’t trick them to opening the email with misleading or false information. Be cautioned that it is a requirement to state accurate subject line.
- Create urgency to take action
Use time sensitive words or phrases to create a sense of urgency in readers. Use words like, For Limited Time Only, Buy Now, and Whilst Stock Last.
- Entice them
Give readers benefits to open the email in the subject line. E.g. Redeem you Free Gift now! You can also incorporate the urgency to open the email in your subject line.
- Don’t overdo it
In your text, avoid using too many bold, capital letters, bright colors, and punctuation (referring to ! ). For the simplest reason, it makes your text very confusing and distracting. It also triggers spiders and filter to classify it as SPAM.
- K.I.S.S
Keep It Short and Sweet. Personally I limit my emails to the main points of my purpose. Of course you should practice your own discretion as to the audience and purpose of the email.
*P.S Include a unsubscribe tab for all your email correspondence. It is a legal requirement for all email newsletter to include the unsubscribe option to reduce SPAM.
