Email Marketing SIMPLY Revealed

Email marketing is a form of direct mail marketing using electronic mail to deliver your message to your audience. There are a number of reasons why email marketing is the preferred method of delivering direct mail.

The power of email marketing is in building an opt-in list of email addresses which you can market to via email.

To do this effectively you must have an autoresponder. An autoresponder is a program that you use in conjunction with your email list to effectively market to your audience. This tool is used to automatically email your customers at predetermined time intervals, with predetermined email messages and in a predetermined sequence of email message delivery. Specifically it can be used to confirm subscription to your email list, unsubscribe emails, and for ongoing communication and follow-up with your list.

Why is this important? Imagine having an email list of thousands. Now imagine having to manually, confirm subscriptions, unsubscribe and send emails to an email list of thousands on a regular basis. Not to mention determining who gets what emails, when to send those emails and also when not to send the emails that have already received a response. Again, imagine having to do this for thousands of email addresses, even if you did this for 100 email addresses it may still be too much for you to do alone. You would never get anything else done. An autoresponder handles all of this and more for you. I'm sure you will want to take advantage of this wonderful piece of technology.
