5 Hot E-Mail Marketing Tips

5 Hot E-Mail Marketing Tips

Sending messages to an e-mail list is a powerful marketing tool. However, there are times when we would like to get a better response from what we send out. If you are serious about doing better, here are five various tips to help improve your campaign results.
Email Marketing Tips1. Put opt-in forms everywhere. The more you have out there, the more chances people will have to fill them out. And remember to tell your visitors to fill in the form – be polite and direct – but don’t make them guess what they’re supposed to do.
Email Marketing Tips2. Give your subscribers a hint of what’s to come in the next message. You don’t want to give it all away, but anything you can do to increase their anticipation of your next e-mail will go a long way toward increasing your open rates.
Email Marketing Tips3. Advance notice of an upcoming message. This is a bit different than the previous tip in that the entire message is sent for the sole purpose of telling your readers about what’s coming – use these messages to let them know about time-sensitive offers coming up, so they don’t lose out Be sure to include the time zone when you send out something with a deadline to prevent confusion for time-sensitive offerings.
Email Marketing Tips4. Create messages people will want to share with their friends. Not all e-mails must be designed to remain exclusive to your list. Encourage them to share from time to time. When doing this, keep potential readers in mind; and be sure to give them a reason to follow through on your call to action.
Email Marketing Tips5. Automate as much of your e-mail marketing as possible. Autoresponders are a must-have tool for simplifying the campaigns you send out. You can pre-load as many messages as you like, and set when they will be delivered. At the very least, you should have a welcome message that is sent immediately after opt-in is confirmed.
E-mail marketing is here to stay, and smart business owners will educate themselves on how to make the most of it. You’ve read this far, so I am going to assume that you are serious about doing better. Take the next step and start using the tips above to improve your campaigns.

The Benefits of doing business online

The Benefits of doing business online

The benefits will very much depend on the nature of your business, and the extent to which you choose to embrace the technology! Although it makes sense to make the most of the features available, it is perfectly valid to take it one step at a time. It is not a case of all or nothing!


The choice is yours
You may choose to use only e-mail (at least initially). Alternatively you may decide on a website now, but not to use e-mail. Both a website and e-mail can be used to market your business on-line. When you’re ready, and it is relevant, you may embark on a full e-commerce solution.


Your virtual shop window
The internet is an excellent channel for promoting your business to potential clients anywhere, anytime. All they need is your website address, whether from a business card, an advert, letterhead, email or search engines.
It offers a cost effective and convenient means of keeping in touch with your existing client base and keeping them informed of developments within your business. And you can achieve this without visiting the printers, or mailing hundreds of letters.
A website will maximize your marketing investment, by leveraging this versatile and dynamic marketing channel which is the internet.
There is much more you can do with your website from gathering contact details and information about visitors to your site, to ultimately trading on-line. It becomes your virtual shop window enabling you to compete on much more equal terms with much larger organizations.

Communicate using E-mail
E-mail is not just an alternative form of communication, it also offers the potential for much more imaginative material, and the advantage of linking directly to the internet
• Efficient, interactive channel for communicating with customers and suppliers
• Efficient form of internal communication
• Customers can be kept informed of changes to your business through electronic newsletters
• Promote your website through e-mail by including a link
• E-letterheads / e-stationery can enhance your image
• COST EFFECTIVE – no postage, printing, envelopes


Establish your presence in the global marketplace:
• In the virtual world of the internet, your website is the virtual shop front to your business.
• You can provide your (prospective) clients with up to date information about you business
• Updates are instantly available to everybody, at a relatively small cost (no printing or postage)
• No write off costs relating to redundant promotional material
• Visitors can help themselves to information; anytime, anywhere, and as often as they wish – making them more likely to do so


Market your business online:
• Reinforce corporate and brand identity. Make your existing investment in marketing go further
• Advertise services and products
• Collect e-mail addresses and other information through your website
• Conduct market research through your website
• Promotion through targeted direct e-mail campaigns
• Build customer relations through personalised service
• Deliver targeted prospects to your mailbox!


E-Commerce: Open all hours
More and more people now buy on the internet because of the convenience and the variety of goods that are available.
• Your business can be ‘open all hours’
• Reduced transaction costs through online orders and, ultimately, payment
• Optional supply chain integration, streamlining your business

Are you Matching Your Emails to Your Brand?

Are you Matching Your Emails to Your Brand?

Branding your emails allows your recipients to become familiar with your business and helps them to recognize every email you send.
Before creating new email templates you should take into consideration your most relevant branding elements and properly integrate them.
It’s better not to underrate this point. If your emails do not reflect your business’ brand identity, your readers may not trust them and, at worst, flag them as spam.
Here are some tips on how to design emails that match your identity:
  • Add your company logo in your emails. Place it in a prominent position for maximum visibility (for example in the top left corner or top center of your email).
  • Pick the colors from your website and use them in your emails. Giving to your emails a similar look and feel of your website helps your subscribers being familiar with your communications.
  • If you are inviting your readers to view an offer in a landing page, make sure that the design match with your brand and your e-mail. Be consistent or you may irritate your readers!
  • If you need to refresh your brand identity it’s a good idea to keep some old graphic elements or fonts so your readers still recognize your messages while you complete the changes.
Again, make sure your readers easily identify your brand in your emails. You will definitely get better results!

Disadvantages Of Using Free Email Services Like Yahoo, Google Etc

Disadvantages Of Using Free Email Services Like Yahoo, Google Etc

Most of us use free email services to create email accounts and maintain them. Sometimes we use these email accounts to send very important emails. I also have experienced this. But there are times we hate these email services due to many reasons. I will describe some disadvantages of these free email services in this post.

The most important disadvantage is the security and privacy. We cannot control our privacy and security of our emails and profile data. All the free email service providers including Gmail, Yahoo and hotmail say that they guarantee the full privacy. But can we make sure that they actually do that. Most of us receive unwanted emails (spam) even if we don't provide our email addresses to a third party. Some of you may know that many free email services sell their email addresses to various marketing companies. Therefore we can't believe on the guarantees of these free email service providers.

Another disadvantage is most of these free email services provides simple web based email facilities where we can't do many modifications. For an example if we use Gmail web interface to send an email, it is very hard to add a picture from our local machine instead of sending as an attachment. It also limits the customization of text and images. It is hard to add a customized email signature also.

Many companies provide free email services to make it as a good advertising and marketing medium. Actually that's all they want and don't care about how it affects the email user. For an example when you log into your Gmail or Yahoo email account, you will see advertisements in the right side and top. This is not a big headache in Gmail, but in Yahoo it is a real headache especially with their new webmail interface. I'm not comfortable with it and actually it is a headache for me. I think that most of you feel in the same way. It is possible to assume that we will lose our actual email workspace size in the coming future where more and more advertising and marketing methods are added to our web email interface. Up to now, there is one way that we can stop this by configuring an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird for our email account.

As far as I know, some companies and individuals pay less attention to the emails they receive from free email services addresses as they experience that most of them are spam. Due to this, there is a great possibility that they will miss very important emails sent to them. This will also affect us if we send important emails from free email services.
Therefore it is better if you can have a personal email account in your own domain (Ex. yourname@yourdomain.com) if it is affordable. If not, make sure that you use an email client and put an attractive mail subject where the receiver will put more attention to your email.

Benefits of Having your Own Domain Name

Benefits of Having your Own Domain Name


Our all-inclusive, low cost package includes your own domain name (.uk or international), web hosting, email forwarding (or POP3 mailboxes) and email autoresponders. Extras are available but the standard package is designed to satisfy 99% the needs of all our potential customers.

Advantages of your Own Domain Name

  • Easier for people to find (xyz-church.org.uk is easier to remember than some-isp.co.uk/xyz-church)
  • Gives a more professional image
  • You can keep the name for years to come
  • You can move the name to another ISP if you no longer want us to host it for you (we do not charge for taking your name elsewhere)
  • Easier to get your site registered with search engines
  • Better position in some search engine listings
  • Disadvantages of Free ISP's Domain

  • Web address will change every time you change ISP
  • Web site may be deleted automatically if you forget to connect to the ISP at least once every 90 days!
  • Some search engines will not list your site at all
  • The terms and conditions may specify that the site is for personal use only and you could have your site removed as it relates to an organisation rather than a person
  • You site will probably not be backed up (in the event of a technical problem you might have to set up your web site from scratch again
  • Bandwidth will be limited but you may only find out what the limit is when they decide you are using too much and they turn off your site
  • Other Benefits of Inglepine Hosting

    Email forwarding allows leaders in the church to have a church email address, but it does not require them to change their own ISP or their existing mailbox setup. The individual concerned can decide whether or not to change the return address in their own email setup to match their church email address. An address such as elders@xyz-church.org.uk can be set up which will forward email to all the elders in the church. An autoresponder allows you to set up text that will be emailed back to anyone who emails a specific email address. For example, an email sent to diary@xyz-church.org.uk could get an automatic reply with the days and times of all of this week's meetings.
    We will provide all of this from only £40 per year (no VAT payable). Note that if you have a exceptionally busy site, there may be additional charges - see our full details page.

    Warning

    You might be able to find some cheaper solutions than ours. However, please ask the following questions to make sure you are getting what you expect:
  • do the prices quoted subject to VAT?
  • will the domain name belong to you or to the provider? If it belongs to you, will they charge you if you apply to move it to another provider?
  • is the web server so busy (and hence slow) that the visitors coming to your site will give up waiting? Visit some other sites hosted on the same service to see how they perform.
  • is there a stated bandwidth limit? There is always a limit of some sort even if it is not stated. The limit might be very low. What will the provider do when you exceed the limit? (probably turn off your site).
  • is the service restricted to personal use only? (in practice this may mean a very low bandwidth limit)
  • how reliable is the service? Every system has some down time but some hosting services have more than others. (It would be hard to get a definitive answer to this question but you can ask about multiple connections to the internet, uninterruptable power supplies, etc.)
  • will your site be backed up and will it be automatically restored for you if the hosting system fails?

    Benefits of Using Own Domain Email on Google Apps Gmail

    Benefits of Using Own Domain Email on Google Apps Gmail

    Your Email ID is a valuable marketing tool for you, and Email ID of your own domain tells that you have an online presence, where people can find you, etc. Its also a tool to promote your company, as you are promoting your domain by that. Your Email ID will promote your domain rather than Gmail or Yahoo.

    ;-) You can have own domain Email ID using your hosting company’s web mail or buy Email space at some hosting company. But according to me, Google Apps Gmail is provides the best own domain email solutions, and above all, its free(Standard package). Below are few of the many reasons why you should use Google Apps Gmail for your Email purposes.

    Reliability/Uptime

    Our web servers keep experiencing downs and crashes, and it is a pain when you are on a shared server or low-memory VPS. Imagine you were using your hosting company’s web mail, and had to receive an important email that time when your website/server was down. It will simply bounce. By using Google Apps Gmail you overcome this, as when you use Google Apps all the associated data will be stored on Google Data centers which runs your Email services effortlessly and gives 99.9% uptime.

    Collaboration

    Domain users can share their calendar from any computer, see when people are available, send invitations, manage RSVPs, do real time editing on documents, spreadsheets & presentations. Also access Instant Messaging (IM)(Using Gtalk) from any computer.

    Space

    If you have a small dedicated or VPS Hosting, then you probably get small amount of hard drive space, and Email particularly takes a lot of space especially if you have many users. Going with Google Apps Email helps here again, as it provides at least 7 GB of storage on Email accounts and this also increases your server’s efficiency as the load is not on your server for the Email services.

    Security

    Your SMTP server might get flooded with Spam or SQL hacks might steal credentials of your users. You overcome these also because of Google Apps. You can even disable the email server that came with your hosting account, that is the IMAP/POP3 server and the SMTP. This saves memory too.

    Conclusion

    There are many more reasons for you to go with Google Apps Gmail, but if you need customized Email service for your company, like custom layout and branding on your users mailboxes then Google Apps Gmail might not be a great option as it isn’t really very flexible. If you need to use for personal purposes or branding doesnt matters, then Google Apps it is! Even if you have a huge organization you can still go with Google Apps as they have multiple editions to suit your needs, plus you get all the Google Apps benefits.
