Which means, they find themselves a really good paid email service provider. But here’s where a ton of them, eventually drop the ball. They don’t effectively use their email list. Some never even send out anything more than that very first welcome email.

So the following list of five reasons, basically explains so many small business owners and or service providers, drop the ball, when it comes to effectively following up with their opt in email subscribers.

Basically, these are five of the most common reasons for small business owners not effectively following up with their email (and or offline) subscribers.

1.) Reason # one: Far too many small business owners get distraught when they get an unsubscribe notice. hey everybody gets them! It’s just part of  the ongoing process of building a highly responsive  opt in email list.

Besides, if a former subscriber figures out that your business, product or service, isn’t right for them. Be glad they had enough sense to unsubscribe, before they buy something and ask for a refund.

2.) Reason # two: There’s always the – I Just have too many- different things to do! And that’s why I haven’t sent any emails to my list yet excuse.

3.) Reason # three: Of course don’t forget the ever popular “so much time has passed, what do I say to my email list- excuse.

4.) Reason # four: Then there’s the “but I did send an email to my list, but nobody opened it!” So that’s why I haven’t sent anymore since,” excuse.

  1. Hi Mark,
    There are probably more excuses than those you’ve listed, such as “It completely slipped my mind.”
    I keep life simple. Excuses = Regrets.

    Have a great week!

    • Hey Bill, thanks for stopping by! And man you got that right! It’s sad that we can whenever we’re so motivated to, come up
      with as many excuses as cable TV has channels! So sad! Thanks for sharing!

      Man, you’ve have got to be without a doubt, one of the most creative individuals I’ve ever met!Your 25 different plays on shoes was absolutely brilliant!

  2. Hi Mark,

    Love the 5 excuses and you’re right – I’m guilty of every single one of them at one point in time or another. I always apologize first if I’ve been away for a while and then I give them a nice bit of info. Forgiveness goes a long way.

    Thanks for the tips.

    • Hey Barbara thanks for your support! It means a lot! AS I mentioned in the post, the inspiration was supplied by the post I originally read written by Michaela Mitchell!

      But like you Barbara,in all honesty, I’ve been guilty of a few of them at different times myself as well! Burt that procrastination didn’t put a dime
      in my pocket,right! And truth told, there’s no telling how much over the years it cost the both of us!

      Thanks for sharing!!

  3. Thanks for the blogging love! I’ve heard those excuses many times. My philosophy is simple – there are no excuses. 🙂
