Email Marketing Automation Is The Answer To Streamlining Your Contacts

By Dominique Martin


While promoting the products and services you sell, even if the product is simply you, you need help to get the word out. You need help to maintain contact with those interested and have just not made the decision, yet. You also need to be able to make initial contact with several classes of individuals, or business entities, to get the ball rolling as far as them getting to know you. This is where email marketing automation comes in extremely handy in a time saving way.

Since there are no printing costs involved in an email campaign, it is the least expensive ways of communicating. You do not have to worry about stamps or postal imprints and a trip to the mail box or post office is in the history for most people. It is immediate, depending on the recipients activity on line and can be the most cost effective, if used properly.

An automation system has several parts, all of which need to work properly and can be set up within a few moments and cheaply. You need to upload a form that will accept, or capture, a potential clients email address. The form is one that is generated by the auto responder program you have.

Auto responders come in many shapes and sizes. They can cost a few dollars a month or many dollars a month depending on the features you desire. There are often programs available for actual purchase that are stored on hard drives and cost no more after that. They all have the basic feature of sending out emails when they are scheduled. The marketer can write and insert any number of messages to be sent every day, every other day, once a week, or any other time frame.

Scheduling of these messages should be considered very carefully. They can go out each day or once a week. They may be sent out every other day or on a monthly basis. There should be enough emails to keep people thinking about you but not getting bothered by the frequency. They should always be informative without being pushy.

Your main purpose, in all of your marketing efforts, should be to get potential customers or clients email addresses into your auto responder system. The capture form is the device to use and it should be placed everywhere. This form needs to be prominent on each page of your website and in each blog. Twitter feeds you send should have this contact information and Facebook has become a very good place for this to go.

Since this type of automated system is so important to your efforts as a marketer, you could do worse than to find a company who can help you with this. They will be in the best position to design the capture form with all of the important trigger words needed to get the appropriate attention. They can help you design an attractive email and write all of the follow up messages that are needed.

You do not have all of the time in the world to write each and ever email and send it to each person on your contact list. That is why you need to automate this function. An SEO or email mail marketing company can handle all of these tasks for you as they have for hundreds of others. They know what works and they know what does not. This is something that will streamline your efforts and help you immensely.
