As you read,( and hopefully) re-read part one of this ongoing series. Hopefully, you can definitely now, better appreciate why, you should currently and constantly, be implementing.
And or at least inexpensively A/B split testing, some proven email marketing strategies and or tactics?Right?
Great. Because as or when you do. You will quickly discover, there are literally loads of untapped marketing opportunities.And or tons of untapped marketing possibilities which are.
Just waiting to be discovered and implemented. And the best part is. You don’t have to be some sort of certified, marketing genius and or guru.
In order to consistently benefit, from some type of proven email marketing strategies and or tactics.
As you’re about to discover.Sound good?
So What Possible Long Term Benefits Can Be Derived From Constantly Testing Different Types Of Email Marketing Strategies And Or Tactics?
Case in point. Let’s say you’re one of the areas, top single location, retail furniture outlets.
And definitely use more than your fair share of non traditional marketing strategies and or tactics, to not only sell tons of furniture.At retail rates of course.
But since you’ve eagerly embraced, different types of marketing strategies and tactics. And started strategically segmenting your various lists.
Your long term gross front end profits, have not only increased measurably.
But you’ve also managed to simultaneously, lower some of your traditional, upfront out of pocket advertising and or promotional costs as well.Which is always a good thing, correct?
Grouping Your Lists Into Relevant Segments Is Definitely A Proven Email Marketing Strategy!
And one of the primary ways you’ve consistently done so.Is by segmenting your different lists.
Into as accurately as you can. You’ve divided your various lists into the most appropriate groups (segments) as possible.
Say for example: On one of your most successful lead capture pages.You know the one, which promotes one of your most popular monthly free drawings.
And the entrants, get a chance to indicate, (by segmenting) themselves. What type of future promotional information, they wish to receive.
See the sample lead capture page below.

Stop and consider your potential long term advantages, for just a second. First. Since a percentage of your lists, only wants to be contacted, when you’re having some type of periodic blowout, liquidation sales event.
And anther segment of your list, only wants to be contacted, whenever you’re having closeout inventory or ‘bring a friend and receive X% off type of events.
Which you typically run, about once every 90 days or so. And finally, you have another segment of your list, which really doesn’t have a specific preference, about why you’re contacting them.
Instead, they just wished to be notified, whenever you send an email and or text message alert of some kind out.
You No Longer Have To Market Or Promote To The Masses In Order To Reach The Few!
Now, unlike your major competitors, who routinely spend outrageous sums of money, on mass advertising campaigns.
They use local, prime time radio, local prime time TV and or local newspapers etc.
And all they typically succeed in doing is, wasting anywhere from 97-99% of their paid circulation, on potential prospects.
Who either:
A.) Don’t currently have the money or credit, to purchase any type of furniture anyway.
B.) Aren’t the least bit interested in purchasing any type furniture. Either now, or in the not too distant future.
C.) They might want to buy some type of furniture eventually. Just not at the moment. And the money spent on the outrageously expensive, dismally performing advertisements and or promotions, is still gone.
