Email Marketing: September 2009 Archives

Not paying enough attention to your email marketing effort can lose you customers and compromise selling opportunities. While e-mail marketing is a great way to stay in contact with your customers, if handled badly it also has the power to ruin the relationship. You'll respect your customers and get the most out of your e-mail marketing efforts by avoiding these five critical mistakes:

1. No Opt-out Clause

The U.S. CAN-SPAM Act 2003 requires that your commercial e-mails contain an unsubscribe link making it easy for a list member to unsubscribe from your e-mails. It also makes good business sense.

To avoid your e-mail being perceived as spam, make sure that every outgoing e-mail contains an opt-out link that the recipient can click to unsubscribe from the list. Make sure that the link works and make sure that the system is in place for managing the process effectively. Respecting your list members by doing this is a way of saying that you care about your business and your relationship with your customers.

With integration comes the ability to target and tweak the message to fit many different geographic, demographic, and psychographic niches. The beauty of search marketing is that every type of traffic generation gives you some control over who you send that message to.

Organic traffic is targeted by the nature of the content and the keywords you're ranking for. Paid advertising can be so narrowly targeted you can define the age, gender, and city or borough your ad is shown in.

E-mail marketing allows you to send that message out to people who have opted in to receiving your message. Any good salesperson will tell you that a person willing to listen to what they have to say is someone who can be sold.
