Info. point 0001- What is Email Marketing?

Email marketing is one of the best techniques that you can
learn. Nothing tops it in its ability to stay in contact
with your customer base. It's also remarkable cheap for
the results you get if you do it right. Here are the
basics of three kinds of email marketing.
Spam/Unsolicited Email
There really is not much to say except "don't do it." Spam
is becoming increasingly looked down on by customers and
Internet service providers alike. The response rates are
very low and ISP's will shut you down without notice.
There are other ways to promote your business, so let's
take a look at more effective email marketing techniques.
Ezine Advertising
Ezine advertising is a very effective and easy to use method
of email marketing. First you need to find an ezine to
advertise with. An ezine that is related or complimentary
to your site and products works best.
After you have found a promising ezine, you should subscribe
to it to see the quality of the newsletter. A great rule to
remember: If you like the newsletter, then you probably
aren't alone. Newsletters with great content have a more
attentive reader base, which is also the type of reader base
that you want your ads to be sent to.
You should remember that your ads are just the beginning of
the process. Don't send your click-throughs to the same
page regardless of your ad, especially if you have multiple
products. If your advertisement is for just one of your
products, send the visitors to the product introduction
page, not your home page.
Newsletters
If you already have a website up, you can ask visitors for
their email addresses. You can send them content filled
newsletters, tips of the week, or even just fill them in on
the latest deals on your products. This is easy to
implement and doesn't take much time once it is set up.
TIP!
You should format your messages in a plain text
program such as Notepad. Your lines should all be 65
characters or less with a hard return at the end of the
lines. This will make sure that your message is all one
block like you intend it to be. Many email programs will
not display the word wrap correctly. If you rely on it, it
will leave your lines ending at unforeseen places.

Thanks for your interest Patrick! Now, you can include hard returns and tab characters in your text in two ways. One way is to press the Enter key (to insert a hard return) or Ctrl+T (to insert a tab character) while the cursor is within quotation marks. For example, the following script contains a hard return between two lines of text: "First Line Second Line" Give it a try and tell me about the result. later, Thomas. Jul 16th 2007 11:07 |
Hi Thomas
Thanks for the great post.
I would like to find out more about the tip you stated in your post about......
"Your lines should all be 65 characters or less with a hard return at the end of the lines.
What is a hard return and how do I do it."
Your help on this issue is most appreciated.
