You Just Can’t Beat Email Marketing
One of my clients had a great story this week about email marketing.
She met a woman at a luncheon. They exchanged business cards and had a good talk. My client put the woman on her email list.
20 years went by!! TWENTY!
The woman signed up for an event my client was hosting last week. She said, “I’ve always read your newsletters but never had a need for your services until now. But I certainly knew who I was going to call for help! The expert!”
Keeping the woman on the email list for 20 years had a zero cost. My client has over 30
00 emails on her list. So there was no cost. No special effort. But the woman came to the event with a friend and both are planning purchases!
Review your office procedures to be sure you are gathering every email possible. Add them to your lists. Make your content valuable so people will stay on the list. Watch your traffic reports to be sure the content is working with your audience. Build long term relationships!
