Get a healthy permission-based email list

To reap maximum benefits from email marketing, it is important that you build a permission-based database. This will create a win-win situation for both you and your customer. You can gain a long-term profitable relationship with your customer, and in turn, your customer will receive offers for products and services that are meaningful and relevant to him/her.

However, we know that it is a challenge to procure permission-based database. Customers are becoming increasingly sensitive towards any unwanted communication. They cannot be blamed for this attitude as they are totally fed up of their inboxes getting cluttered with unsolicited mails. You should keep in mind to develop your subscriber lists with relevance and care.

You can benefit immensely by following responsible best practices to build a permission-based house file. There are a number of simple and effective ways of doing so. You can continue with your traditional online and offline tactics, however, keep in mind to adopt emerging strategies, such as paid search and integrated POS technology as well. Whatever strategy you employ, the challenge is in using these tactics responsibly, complying with all legal requirements and respecting subscriber preferences, in order to maximize list growth through every customer touch-point.

Follow simple methods like enabling customers to sign-up for email by placing a clear and conspicuous form on each page of your website. Make sure to incorporate email sign-up into all account registration and e-commerce forms on your website.  Keep sign-up forms short, simple and clear. Resist the urge to collect a large amount of information at an early stage in the relationship.

Opt for opt-in lists

 We have been talking about personalization, dynamic content and other ways of refreshing email marketing.  A topic we can’t ignore in this regard is List Growth. It’s such an important aspect of an email-marketing program, but sadly, most often than not it gets neglected.

 There is no bigger way to harm your email marketing effort than to use a list that has been static for over a period of time, say one year. A list has to be constantly updated to bring the maximum out of your email campaigns.
 
You can employ many tactics to grow your list. In this regard, you should always opt for an opt-in subscriber list. The reality is that if someone has requested to receive communications from you, they are much more likely to interact with your email campaigns and ultimately convert. Requiring an opt-in before you send email marketing to a customer or prospect also creates a relationship of trust, one that you can reinforce over time with each communication. An opt-in list can ensure you higher retention rate, more engaged audience, and a reinforced reputation.

There are a few things you ought to keep in mind when you work towards getting yourself an opt-in subscriber list:

·         Always place the email opt-in option in an easy to find place on your website.
·         Make it easy for the visitor to your website to join or subscribe. Do not make them fill up multiple fields in the form.
·         Use appropriate and warm calls to action that make the visitors want to click on them.
·         Always remember to acknowledge your subscribers who opted in by sending a thank you message.
