Email Marketing Is Not Dead and May Just Save Your Business

Wednesday, October 28 2009

I have to chuckle every time I see a new online article that declares "email marketing is dead." The truth is -- it's far from dead. Here's proof. Check your email inbox. Your still getting lots of mail right? Your still getting lots of spam right? OK. Enough said.

Now granted there is a lot of noise out there, but using email to engage and market to your clients is still a really good way to increase your business. And the best part is that it's very cost effective.

In case you've forgotten the key strategies and tactics that will win your business raving fans, SalesNexus is offering a comprehensive guide to email marketing -- free for a limited time on its website. Authored by SalesNexus CEO, Craig Klein, and Steven Greene, SalesNexus’ Marketing Services partner, "Email Marketing – The Only Bailout Your Business Needs" walks small business owners through simple steps to creating email marketing campaigns that deliver results with minimal investment.

"Email Marketing is very popular during the recession because it is inexpensive. In our online CRM business, many companies want to start marketing via email but are not comfortable writing the emails themselves. We hope to show businesses how to create email campaigns that get results without wasting time and money", says Klein.

The book demonstrates how to automatically and consistently stay in front of prospects so your company gets the call when they are ready to purchase. "It’s not the prospects that you encountered last week that need attention, everybody follows up on those. The prospects that came to you months ago are where many businesses miss sales and profit opportunities", says Greene.

You'll need to give up your name, email address and phone number to download the ebook, but it's a good read and may be just the economic stimulus kick your business needs.

Carebuzz helps franchise owners get in front of clients. It amazes me how many owners do not have a database of potential or even client emails accounts!

In today's competitive market of the senior home care business.. it surprises me that owners bury their head in the sand thinking their clients don't want to be bothered by a newsletter or simply email communications.

Thank you for your insightful information.

Best, Carol

Email marketing is definitely far from dead.
Effective sales letter writing skills are imperative for the web business owner or entrepreneur. Fortunes are made and lost online on the strength of sales letter writing. No matter how great your product, if you cannot convey that to your potential buyers, and convince them to buy your product, you will not make it online.

Don?t fall for the idea that writing a sales letter has to be difficult, or that it has to be perfect to sell your product. If your visitors and subscribers need what you have to offer, and you make it attractive to them to buy it, they will buy it. Every word on your sales page does not have to be perfect, nor does it have to be written by an expert copywriter.
