    EMAIL MARKETING

    Email marketing is, as the name suggests, the use of email in marketing communications.

    In its broadest sense, the term covers every email you ever send to a customer, potential

    customer or public venue. In general, though, it's used to refer to:

    Sending direct promotional emails to try and acquire new customers or persuade

    existing customers to buy again

    Sending emails designed to encourage customer loyalty and enhance the customer

    relationship

    Placing your marketing messages or advertisements in emails sent by other people

    Three main forms of email marketing as the electronic equivalent of:

    Direct mail. Sending people a print newsletter.

    Placing advertisements in subscription magazines and newspapers.

    Email marketing works for a variety of reasons...

    It allows targeting

    It is data driven

    It drives direct sales

    It builds relationships, loyalty and trust

    It supports sales through other channels

    Modern email marketing services and solutions support database integration,

    segmentation and various other tricks and techniques for improving the targeting of

    outgoing messages. Advanced methods generate on-the-fly emails customized down to

    an individual recipient basis.

    And every email campaign you send out generates a heap of actionable data you can use

    to refine your approach and messages.

    Email promotions and offers generate immediate action: sales, downloads, inquiries,

    registrations, etc. Informative email newsletters and other emails send people to offlinestores and events, prepare the way for catalogs, build awareness, contribute to branding,

    strengthen relationships, encourage trust and cement loyalty.

    EMAIL MARKETING ADVANTAGES

    As just mentioned, a good email list, well run, can grow your reader loyalty. Hearing

    from you again and again with good content reminds readers of your value, especially ifthey take your advice and find it works for them. That said, the obvious reason why most

    people try email marketing is because it is profitable. This is because of the followingattributes:

    1. Low Cost Communicating via email has many of the advantages of traditionaldirect mail but with much lower costs

    2. Speed If you need to you can get a message out to your entire list very fast

    3. Ease (both for you and the reader) For your marketing to be a success it has tobe easy for the recipient, but it helps that email marketing is easy for you too as it

    means you can do it yourself

    4. Push While websites and RSS are pull, in that the visitor has to come to you,with email you can send your messages out, reminding and re-engaging readers

    5. Personalized The more information you collect, the more messages can be

    tailored and personalized. Email also has the particularly special abilityto segment, meaning you can split people off into smaller, more focused lists.

    6. Viral Its so easy for people to forward your message on to others, spreading

    further than you could alone.

    7. Tracking Everything from how many emails were opened, through to each

    individual link click can be tracked, meaning you can hone your techniques and

    improve performance

    8. Testing Along with tracking, you can test different subject lines, calls to action,

    use of images, and so on, to further improve your results

    9. Complimentary Email, while an excellent tactic, does not replace your othermarketing activities but compliments them extremely well. Combining multipletactics can build very profitable marketing campaigns.

    10. Opt-In Perhaps most important, the best email lists are always opt-in, meaning

    you have permission to contact the person. This permission is very powerful andshould not be underestimated.

    EMAIL MARKETING RISKS

    Doing email right can be a fantastic addition to your marketing mix, but do it wrong and

    you might be better off not doing it at all.

    The main risks are:

    Branded a spammer - Without singling out any particular instance, even the best

    lists will get marked as spam occasionally because some people cant be bothered

    to use the unsubscribe links. Also some people have a strange definition of whatspam is. So a small amount of this is to be expected. What we have to be careful

    of though is an accusation that sticks. Always make sure people know what they

    are signing up for and that they confirm their subscription so we can point to clear

    and fair opt-in.

    Burning out your list A certain amount of churn is to be expected. Peopleleave lists all the time through no fault of ours. Too many messages, too often, or

    bad content to sales ratio and you could find our email list becoming used up andburned out. Be careful to always make your list valuable to your readers, not an

    irritation.

    Breaking the law - Be aware that due to nasty spammers there are very strictlaws around the world and it is easy to break them. For example, collecting email

    addresses without the owners consent, even not including our postal address in

    emails. Using a reputable email service provider will help through most of theseissues.

    Alienating readers It never ceases to surprise how many people get carried

    away with email marketing and go way over the top. Messages do not have toread like snake oil, and every email does not have to carry a absolutely must buy

    now before urgency call to action. Remember list members are human beings

    and all should go well though.

    Delivery issues As people become more and more sensitive to spam there aremore and more innocent messages landing in junk mail folders. There are

    techniques to help your message get through, but the main way is as mentioned

    above, use a reliable email provider.

    TO MASTER FOLLOW-UP

    The REAL Definition Of Successful Marketing

    There are three and only three factors that really haven iron grip on the profits of any

    marketing effort. The smartest marketing minds on the planet have boiled down thesefactors to this simple, but incredibly powerful formula:

    The Right Message... To The Right Market... At The Right Time!

    Most businesses miss one, two or all three of these factors, and as a result, have very

    ineffective marketing and advertising results. Heck, just miss one of them and youre

    looking at the wrong end of a marketing disaster. Its like a three-legged stool: take anyone of the legs away and youre flat on the ground, right? Also, most businesses magnify

    these problems by spending a bunch of money on image advertising, with no direct

    response offers at all. I mean, advertising your brand is great if youre a gazillion-dollar

    company (or youre an ad agency with a gazillion-dollar company paying your fees), butits business suicide for the rest of us! he objective of your marketing efforts is to generate

    leads people you can follow up with. When you convey the right message to the rightmarket at the right time, you get leads and thats where the whole follow-up mastery

    business begins. The result of not using the three marketing success factors and having

    little or no direct response offers, cost companies millions in missed sales every year!

    Heres how to simply fix this:

    1. Never waste money on image advertising, or at least keep it to a minimum andonly try creating yourself or your company as a brand after becoming profitable!

    2. Test simple, inexpensive direct response marketing methods, offering FREEreports on different topics, samples, coupons, or other response devices filled with

    emotional response copy to find the messages that match the interests of YOUR

    target markets!

    3. Concentrate on your most successful direct response offers. SECRET

    4. Follow up to maximize sales! It is CRITICAL that you follow up with eachlead repeatedly, incorporating variety of media such as mail, phone, fax, email

    messages, and voice broadcasting! More on that in a minute.

    A few words of warning: if you dont have a computerized system in place to

    consistently and effectively follow up with your leads, youre wasting a lot of leads and

    youre wasting a lot of man hours doing tedious, manual follow-up.

    The Three Types of Leads

    Every time you run a marketing campaign, the leads you get can be divided into

    three categories:

    1. Leads ready NOW (Hot)

    2. Leads not ready now but will be ready soon (Warm these leads are

    CRITICAL to your success)

    3. Leads that may never be ready (Cold or Bad Leads)

    The problem is, you cant divide the leads into categories because you dont know whichleads go into which categories. So, you or your staff members call every lead once or

    twice and then you spend the time with the leads that look like theyre going to close.

    Every smart sales person that works on commission does this they go for the low

    hanging fruit! Thats right. They basically cherry pick! Cherry picking is the naturalresult here because:

    A. Sales reps are paid high commissions for a sale

    B. You cant tell the difference between warm leads and bad leads until you reach

    them

    C. If you DO reach the lead and the timing isnt right, you dont have the time or

    patience to constantly follow-up

    Theres nothing wrong with spending your time with hotheads. The problem of cherry

    picking comes when you neglect all those warm leads!

    Of course, everyone says theyre going to follow up with the other leads one of these

    days, but the fact is, you dont do it. Or, if you do follow up, you dont do it consistently

    and effectively because, quite frankly, its a royal pain in the neck. Instead of doing thetedious follow-up grunt work, salespersons usually wait for a new batch of leads to come

    in. In the meantime, the warm leads from the last batch get cold and they are soon

    forgotten. Simply put, they slip through the cracks. Now, you know you need a system to

    follow up with these leads. You need something or someone to do your follow-up likeclockwork, whether youre on the phone, in a meeting or on the golf course. You know.

    Remember the Terminator? Relentless, tireless, and unstoppable? Well, thats what you

    need your follow-up to be. Consistent and effective. Over the years, youve probablytried a number of different schemes to follow up or re-market to your leads. If youre

    doing this, chances are youre finding an occasional needle in the haystack. But you can

    do so much better! Your follow-up doesnt have to be hit and miss. You can get more outof your leads than youre getting right now. And when you do, your profitability will

    soar.

    Timing is Everything!

    Youll notice that Timing is Everything is closely associated with the right message to theright market at the right time.

    Most people tinker with their message and their market and end up with something thatworks okay. But they forget how critical timing is in the whole mix.

    See, they simply forget this one simple truth:People buy when they are ready to buy, not when youre ready to sell.

    And this means, by definition, you have to be in front of folks when theyre ready to

    buy. In other words, you have to follow up with them consistently! Because if you dont,

    someone else will land that business.

    The someone else who lands the business will be your competitor, who either followed

    up consistently; or (more likely) got lucky enough to cross paths with your prospect at the

    right time. You dont want to leave new business up to chance, not unless you like beingpoor or losing to your competitor. No one does! But the one thing you control in this

    situation staying in front of the prospect is probably the single greatest challenge inyour business. Folks all the time who tells us they know they should stay in touch, follow

    up and be there for their prospects and customers, but they just cant seem to get a

    system in place to do that.The fact is, follow-up is a gut-wrenching, time consuming,

    tedious and labor-intensive task that is almost impossible for the human mind to keepstraight! So, businesses everywhere have concocted half-baked schemes, spreadsheets,

    tickler files, software programs, and who knows what else to help them with this all

    important function of their business. Can you imagine it? I mean, its like being wheeledinto the operating room for a triple bypass and seeing the surgeon and his team standing

    there with a bunch of carpenters tools. Just fills you with confidence, doesnt it?

    Unfortunately, most businesses do follow-up like this (if they do it at all) and most oftheir schemes and techniques are spectacularly unsuccessful. As a result, businesses

    everywhere leave huge piles of money on the table every month. They continue to

    throwaway good money on leads, only to let the majority of them drop through the holesat the bottom of the bucket because the timing wasnt right for those folks. For crying out

    loud, PLUGTHEHOLESFROMBOTTOMOFTHEBUCKET! According to one publication, over 99%

    of small businesses do not consistently follow up with their prospects and customers. The

    good news is that we can easily annihilate this problem and when you do, youll see amassive jump in your profits.

    Transforming Sales Strategy from Outbound Hunting to Inbound Harvesting

    This strategy is critical to your success because it puts you in a position to land customersquickly. It shortens the sales cycle, increases your capacity to handle more deals or sales

    and improves your closing ratio because you spend more time talking to highly qualified

    prospects.4How can you actually make the shift from hunting to harvesting? To understand how to

    do this, you need to know about a fundamental business problem at the heart of nearlyevery company in the world. The problem is this: how does a company balance its

    marketing and sales efforts? You see, in most companies, the marketing departments job

    is to get the leads and the sales departments job is to call on the leads and close the sale.

    But in between getting the lead and closing the sale theres a huge gap. If you close thegap, youll make the shift from hunting mode to harvesting mode and your profits will

    skyrocket.

    To make the shift, you need to recognize that:

    A. Marketings job doesnt end when the lead is acquired

    B. The sales job doesnt begin and end with a heat check phone call to each

    lead

    C. Someone (either Marketing or Sales) has to be in charge of warming the leads

    that arent hot right now but will be hot down the road.

    In other words, if you want to explode your profits, the functions of marketing and sales

    must come together! Otherwise, your marketing department is flushing money down the

    toilet on leads that arent hot right now. Then, your sales department is wasting time andmoney trying to close sales with prospects who arent ready.

    To sum up this problem of the gap between marketing and sales, think of it this way;every business has a lead generation department (marketing) and a lead-closing

    department (sales), but theyre lacking a lead warming department. To bridge the gap

    between marketing and sales and thereby make the shift from outbound hunting to

    inbound harvesting, you need a lead-warming department. Simple as that.

    Five tips to make the shift:

    1. Send relevant, valuable information to every prospect regularly, relentlessly

    and frequently. You need to be doing this until they buy, die, or beg you for

    mercy!

    2. Communicate with prospects efficiently, aside from the normal, time-

    consuming, one-on-one methods.

    10

  • 8/7/2019 SRINIVAS MANGALAM 2006B3A1669G

    16/28

    3. Log all communications between our office and the prospect in an organized

    fashion.

    4. Arm yourself and your sales reps with an arsenal of specific information we

    can send to prospects on request.

    5. Track the progress of each lead through the sales pipeline, so we always know

    where every lead stands.

    The good news is that its actually very easy to do all of this and you can have it done for

    you effortlessly with an automated system.

    Whether youre a one-person shop or a fast-growing small business, we need to find outhow to make this shift. And when we make this shift, well be amazed at the results!

    Education, Repetition and Variety

    Most small businesses market their products and services like this:

    Step 1. Buy a bunch of leads or generate leads with a mailer or other campaign

    Step 2. Distribute leads to sales reps

    Step 3. Call on the leads to find the hot ones who are ready now

    Step 4. Work with hot leads to close a quick deal

    Step 5. Throw away, postpone or neglect the leads that arent hot

    Step 6. Repeat the process

    your follow-up must take a combined approach that incorporates these three

    elements:

    1. Education. Your follow-up must inform your prospects and customers. You

    need to provide valuable information. If youre showing up with no value, youll

    wear out your welcome fast. You need to communicate that you are on their sideand deserve to be trusted. Youll accomplish this if you provide them with

    accurate, insightful information. Fact is, the sales process is confusing and

    intimidating for your customers. They want to trust you. Give them theinformation they need and youll earn their trust. Help them. Serve them. Provide

    information and theyll appreciate you for it.

    2. Repetition. Its a proven fact that human beings have to hear the same thingover and over before it sinks in. Marketing and sales is no different. You know

    your products and services like the back of your hand, but your customers dontget it the first time they hear the message. Dont make the mistake of thinking that

    if a prospect heard the pitch once, they understood it. Chances are, they didnt.

    Tell them again, and again and again.

    3. Variety. This doesnt mean you vary your message! You need to consistently

    tell your message, but your follow-up delivery needs variety. To maximize your

    sales, you must use multi-step follow-up sequencesthat incorporate and

    orchestrate direct mail, phone,email, fax, voice, and other media! Some

    prospects will respond to your phone call, others to your email or letters, andothers to your fax or voice messages. Serious power comes when you contactyour prospects using multiple methods.

    So, this strategy says that proper follow-up requires you to repeatedly contact the lead or

    customer, providing valuable information via direct mail, phone, fax and email messages.

    Personality, Genuineness and Entertainment

    Your prospects and customers need information. They need repetition. They neededucation. They need variety and frequency. They need to hear the right message at the

    right time. Thats what they need. And if you provide it, youll see great improvement in

    your business. But if you want phenomenal results, you need to give them what theywant. What they want is YOU! They want your personality. They want you to be real

    with them. They want you to be straight up, helpful, sincere. They want your spin, your

    angle, your advice, your perspective. They dont want corporate dribble. They wantYOU! And when you give them what they want and combine it with what they need,

    youve got something spectacular, even entertaining. Youve got permission to converse

    freely with your prospects and customers, to help them with the things they need, to offer

    them the products and services you provide that make their life easier, better, moresuccessful.

    Its kind of funny. All those clichs about being yourself and finding your groove and

    letting your light shine are all at the heart of this.

    Injecting personality into your follow-ups. Here are a handful of suggestions:

    Use conversational language, not corporate speak

    Laugh at yourself and your mistakes

    Dont compartmentalize your business and personal lives discuss the stuff of

    your personal life with your prospects and customers

    Talk about what you like, what interests you, what annoys you

    View your prospects and customers as friends. Try it! Its incredibly refreshing

    and liberating (If this is hard for you, ask yourself why youre serving this group

    of people in the first place)

    When youre thinking about the world around you and how it affects you, wrap

    those thoughts into your follow-up conversations

    Use analogies that are interesting to you. Chances are, theyre interesting to your

    prospects and customers

    Read, learn and study and then share your discoveries.

    It can be difficult at first to do this. But I am convinced this is the key tophenomenal results.

    Web development is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for the

    Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include web

    design, web content development, client liaison, client-side orserver-sidescripting, web

    serverand network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However,

    among web professionals,"web development" usually refers to the main non-design

    aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range

    from developing the simplest static single page ofplain text to the most complex web-

    based internet applications, electronic businesses, orsocial network services.

    For larger organizations and businesses, web development teams can consist of hundredsof people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent

    or contracting webmaster, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as

    a graphic designer and orinformation systems technician. Web development may be acollaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated

    department
