1.) Important email marketing fact # one: According to the research provided by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), a highly respectable 66%, of consumers surveyed, acknowledge , (not only) have they made a recent online purchase, as a direct result of an opt in email message received. But they gladly state they will continue to do so!

2.) Important email marketing fact # two: And across the board, (on average) a staggering 138% more is typically spent, by those who receive opt in email/mobile messages, than those who do not!

Remember in part one, it was also suggested how a professional (such as) an accountant or CPA etc. (Especially) one just starting out! (On a semi limited budget.) They could create, a 52 week, (or longer) educational follow up written or video series, where they share one or two proven, tax/estate planning tips, (once a week) over the course of an entire year!And beyond!
And (of course) the exact same proven template, could apply to an auto repair body shop. Or Heating Ventilation company,where they offer a short two-five minute “how to” video, on this week’s Car Care Saving Tips By Blank!
Or “Your Proven Estate Planning Tip Of The Week!” Featuring Certified Financial Planner Mary L.Smith!(See how potentially straight forward and simple this low cost, battlefield tested marketing strategy really is!)
And just to mix things up and keep them interesting! Mary (or CFP) X, could do a two -three minute video tip one week.
And the next week, (or within the same month), answer a “burning question” of the week/month,from their blog/youtube audience!
And in their short video, (done with their smartphone), they stand near or in a car, or on a motorcycle etc.
And quickly point out/share, some relevant cost saving/maintenance tip of the day/week etc!And point their video audience to their WordPress blogs, and or websites lead capture page, in order to receive their “brand new first time customer only”, discount coupon and or gift certificate etc.
And be sure and optimize your video, so your local audience finds you!An up an coming interior designer, could use the exact same proven, low cost marketing template, with just a little minor tweaking, here and there!Could they not?
Entrepreneur Effective Business Email Marketing Isn’t A Luxury It’s A Must!

You might even occasionally go on location, (to shoot your “how to” video tip of the week),if it’s a local florist, auto repair shop, bakery, furniture concern or local restaurant etc!And they in turn, briefly appear in your video, (or series of videos),providing you with a bank account filling testimonial!

Entrepreneur All Of Your Email Marketing Strategies Will Definitely Continue To Evolve Over Time!
1.) Step one: Your all important, (very first) email message you send them, after their confirm they definitely want to start receiving your messages is, your all important, tone setting “Welcome” email or series of welcome/thank you for subscribing message extensions.
2.) Step two: This is where your (pre written), autoresponder follow up email series, gets delivered. No matter how long or short it may be.
(Important note: Your initial “Welcome” email message and your first 3-7 follow up email messages, could be pre written, then you just start periodically sending, unscheduled, educational, how to” “broadcast email messages, once per week going forward.)
(Don’t forget to reach out to me via my contact page, if your business and or service, ever needs paid help with constructing any parts of this market tested, three part email marketing process!)
Here’s where you make good on all of your sign up form (opt in boxes) claims which were made! Now over the next amount of days or weeks etc, you deliver the goods and increase and enhance your brands reputation!
3.) Step three: Part three has options as well! Of course as you start to conclude your (initial) follow up series, this is where, (provided) your follow up series has over delivered, you can sprinkle your links, (for ) either, your paid products and or services.
Or for your affiliate links, or both! In any event, you can (and definitely) should, include a few unscheduled “broadcast” email messages in your series as well!
(And periodically informing your subscribers where to connect locally with you, and your associates, is a great reason to send unscheduled “broadcast” email messages!)
Case in point, suppose you and few associates, decide to eat lunch, at a popular, local barbecue pit. And you make an arrangement with the owner(s), for every subscriber of yours that comes by in the next 2-3 days, and mentions a code (or secret) password you provided in your email/mobile marketing message.
They automatically save X% off, plus the barbecue owners will gladly donate X% of their gross proceeds, (within the specified time period) to some local worthy cause and or local organization etc!

Hi Mark,
Email marketing is so important, and you’ve given us some of the stats that prove that.
But you can’t just build an email list and send an email here and there and hope for results.
You need to have a strategy in place, like the autoresponder sequence you recommended here… a welcome email, followed by a 3 to 7 day email sequence, then one broadcast email per week.
The strategy doesn’t have to be that, you can change it… but you must have a strategy and implement it consistently and predictably.

Truer words of wisdom were never spoken Donna!
And I will certainly be the first to confess and own up
to the real world wisdom you are freely sharing!
If only, I had done twice as much listening and applying the many
pearls of marketing and business wisdom I have been so fortunate to be
exposed to over the years coach!
Let’s just say, not all the mountains, would have taken as long, or been half as
difficult to climb!LOL!
The password is most definitely, “strategy!” Or “proven strategy” may even be more descriptive!
Always great to see you and absorb your real world wisdom Coach!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and share a few thoughts!I always appreciate it!
