Email Marketing - Deliver A Happy Surprise!

Put a surprise in the mail and watch the response pour in! Email marketing has made the process of reaching out to your customers easier and more exciting! You enjoy increased sales and profits; decreased expenses; build customer loyalty and rapport; establish credibility; minimize returns; close sales; improve customer service; save printing and distribution costs and more!

You can overcome the limitations of conventional advertising methods by targeting your specific market, testing your sales copy, tracking responses, controlling the exact timing and improve your sales process.

Email is so versatile you can use anything from simple text to HTML & rich media (Voice and Video Emails). Content can be one-size-fits-all or highly customized. Frequency can consist of fixed, frequent intervals or event based intervals.

If you are confused by the complexities of email and all the gobbledygook, we recommend "Email for Newbies from the Newbie Club". This picture-driven ebook explains all about email accounts, clients, web-based email, headers, virus killers, Pop3's, aliases and all that stuff.

Get your subscribers hooked with an interesting bit of information - an Ezine (electronic magazine), Tip of the Week, Newsletter, Tutorial or Letter format. Hotlinks from your email to your website sales copy, special offers, discounts etc., will validate that you are a 'real' person or company, with legitimate offers.

Email is a fantastic and the most revolutionary advance ever made in communications. Used wisely, it can't be beaten. Used badly, it's just rubbish flying around the Internet.

Badly designed email marketing can have dire consequences. For instance, to ensure your email messages reach your customers, you need to conform to current spam filters (e.g. use of words and format) and other obstacles which prevent delivery.

Carefully planned, well designed email communications can significantly increase your customer base, sales and profits.  Email marketing offers huge benefits:-

A simple follow-up email to your customers, subscribers, and leads, can increase your profits by 30% (or more)
Personalized emails can increase your response rates by 60%
You can set your business on automatic pilot, by using automatic responders, and be anywhere in the world
You can track and monitor online responses to your email in real-time

Offline businesses can benefit from email marketing and increase profits by up to 30%, even without a website. For example:

 Local stores can offer weekly coupons by email, to keep customers coming back; car repair shops can offer discounts for tyres and servicing when business is slack; a local hairdresser can offer discounts for 'quiet' days, or special offers on colourings, haircuts, or manicures. The possibilities are endless, and setting time limits on offers encourages the customers to focus and take action.

Having a website is the best option, but even without one, you can start email marketing as part of your internet marketing strategy by collecting your visitor's email addresses.

First, you need a database to store customer details, and an automatic responder to send out regular communications. There are many ready-made sales letters and templates available on the internet. If you are confident that the content is right for your business and know how to use the appropriate tools, you can set up a campaign yourself.

Or you can take the easy way out and let us do it all for you!

We offer a complete range of services in design, presentations, content and direct email copywriting, advertising, article and ezine creation, research and ad placement, automatic responder email sequences, personalization scripts, database, ezine list server hosting, and everything you need to run a successful email marketing campaign. Our prices are very competitive, and all you need to do is ask for a Free Quotation and tell us what you want to achieve.

 Types of Email Communication

Email direct marketing can be any type of communication which best suits your purpose and business needs. 'Event Marketing' is when you have a single purpose like say a time-limited 'buy now' offer or an 'alert' service where emails are distributed only when something new occurs:

 New Product Announcement
 Special Promotion
 Invitation
 Customer Letter
 Sale Announcement
 Special Event Announcement
 Special Occasion Announcement

The other type is building a long term relationship through regular communication (leading to eventual sales) like:

 Newsletter or Ezine including articles
 Tip of the Week
 Tutorials
 Mini series products

Combining both is ideal for an email marketing campaign (see below)

 Direct Opt-in Email

Reach out to your customers with attractive promotional emails sent to a Legitimate List using Direct Opt-in Email. This helps achieve credibility and lifetime value customers. This simply means that if someone opts to join your email list whilst on the web, you confirm that this is the case (using automatic responders) before you send out your communication.  

Already have an email mailing list?
You will earn far bigger profits by making them repeat customers by focusing on products in their area of interest. Develop an attractive email marketing campaign and watch the spectacular results. But first, are you using a double opt-in process? If not, we can tell you how to safeguarding your customers and your company reputation.

We can Design and Set Up your double opt-in Autoresponder Sequence:

 Offering a 'bait' to increase your mailing list

Tempt your prospects with an attractive 'bait' to get them to join your list by offering free information as an online newsletter, tip of the week, report or ebook. This helps build a growing list of prospective customers interested in what you offer and turn these casual visitors into long term business customers.

We can help you with articles, ezines, ebooks, or anything you want to offer in exchange for email addresses.

 Newsletters (Ezines)

Watch the conversion rates soar when you launch your ezine! Ezines are online magazines containing articles and other interesting content. Subscribers have chosen to receive them, by joining a mailing list, so they are highly qualified leads.

 Personalized Email Marketing

Believe it or not, you can increase the response rate to each mailing by over 60% simply by personalizing your email! Use demographic, behavioural, or any other data to make your customers feel special and feel that you are interested in them. A simple "Thank You" email once someone has purchased something from you, can be the start of such a relationship, and give you the opportunity to keep in touch.

For those who don't want to receive email, you can add a Website Personalization Script to your database, so that return visitors are welcomed by name, thanked for coming back to visit the site, and directed to their preferences or updates since their last visit. Keeping these potential customers coming back will eventually lead to sales.

Ensure your visitors return with a Website Personalization Script

 Content and Direct Response Copywriting

Content is the king of conversions! To achieve sales and a return on investment, the content of your email marketing communication is the most important.

We offer customized 'designer' email content that won't be bounced by ISP spam filters and safely reach your customers. Our Direct Email Copywriting provides email content, format and style for sequential (automatic responder) email campaigns.

Content can be in whatever format you wish; design with multimedia, HTML or Plain Text, use your Website Home Page, or whatever you want.

 Email Style, Design and Presentation

With the increase in spam or unsolicited email and viruses, Plain Text is your best bet to ensure emails reach your customers. However, since HTML gets better results, offer the choice of email in HTML or Plain Text.

 Multimedia Presentations

Get yourself heard by your customers, talk to them from your website or email communication; reproduce your website homepage as an email, add banners and interactive graphics, or anything you want. In short, get a trendier image! For example, a site selling pop music CDs could embed their newest clip into an email, to tempt their customers to the site to purchase the CD on offer.

Our HTML and Flash Emailer Design Services, along with any of our Multimedia and Content Services, will impress your customers and encourage them to look forward to receiving your emails.

On this website, you can experience a virtual tour, product demo and TV commercial, listen to a talking email or music and see what can be done with flash and animation to liven up your presentations.

Just link up to our Multimedia Presentations page and enjoy!

The system once set up effortlessly follows up sales and leads, manages your mailing lists, and builds repeat customers. Building customer relationships, establishing credibility, and increasing your profits will be automatic.

You save time, save money, and you can run your business from anywhere in the world.

 Targeting your Customers

Hit the bull's eye by targeting your customers! This generates more sales. Use a database driven website to collect specific data on each customer. Select 'groups' of customers, perhaps by age, gender, location, or all three, and design a targeted email campaign for them.

Your data should record who has already purchased a particular product so the emails they receive from you move them on in the sales process towards their next purchase.

You can test the response to a new product (or your sales copy) before you launch it, by sending one message to half of your list, and another message to the other half of your list.

Importantly, you can track who opens your emails, and monitor your response rates for conversion statistics.

 Email Marketing Campaigns

Let Email Marketing Campaigns work their magic with your customers. These are unlike one-off ads but are a sequence of individual email messages delivered at intervals and with an overall objective in mind.

A customer might take a buying decision instantaneously or stretch out over a long period of time, but it's a process, not an event and helps build lifetime relationships with your customers.

Our Email Marketing Campaigns Service takes you from building your email list, defining objectives, managing a campaign through to testing, tracking and conversion.
