Every small business owner strives to make their website a valuable asset of their company, yet the most overlooked strategy is an effective e-mail marketing campaign.

Why is it so important to include e-mail marketing as part of your online marketing strategy?

Attract your most targeted prospects: You don’t need me or some other high priced coach to tell you that the internet is filled with stats and studies that prove an overwhelming number of first time visitors leave your website without taking an action. If memory serves me right, the last information I read was stated that it’s actually more than 99% of first time visitors leave without taking an action. So how can you communicate with those prospects if you’re marketing to them with e-mail? You must have an effective e-mail marketing strategy.

Build Relationships that you can not do any other way: E-mail marketing is your only opportunity to build a relationship with your website visitors. It’s only after your website visitor’s get to know, trust and like you that you can convert the browsers into customers.

Your List is your website’s most valued asset: Ask any direct mail marketing professional and they will always tell you that before you attempt to sell anything, you must start with a targeted list. That’s exactly what our list of e-mail subscribers are. They are your most highly targeted list of prospects and your website’s most valued asset.

How do you know that? To start, they wouldn’t have been at your website if they weren’t already interested in your products. If they signed up to your list, then they have pre-qualified themselves. They have, in effect, told you that they are looking for products, services or information that you have.

Without an e-mail marketing strategy, you are simply letting those prospects turn your website into ‘click dust’ and missing the opportunity to communicate with them so you can get them to know, trust and like you. Only once you have established that relationship can you convert the prospects to cash paying customers. Good luck!
