Email Marketing – Is Anyone Noticing You?

Hi Everyone

It’s a world of immense clutter out there in email marketing land.

It’s also a world of immense clutter out there in plain marketing land.

It’s also a world of immense clutter out there in internet land.

It’s also a world of immense clutter out there in advertising land.

So, what are you doing to get noticed ?

Are you relying on word of mouth ? (which is good);

Are you relying on off-line marketing?  (which is good);

Are you relying on Social Media ? (which is good);

Are you relying on email marketing ?  (which is good);

Are you trying ALL of these ? (which is even better).

Getting noticed is a constant stream and activity which should be pursued.

Because…

It’s the people who get noticed who have people knocking on their door.

Get noticed and maybe this can happen to you to.

The FIRST 9 places in a Yahoo search out of 1,340,000 competing pages for the name: Kurt Johansen.

This isn’t about bragging everyone – it’s about using all the marketing channels to GET NOTICED.

Ok, then “Is Anyone Noticing You?”

and…

If they are not, what are you doing to CHANGE THAT ?

Cheers and Great Selling

Email Marketing: How To Get Your Emails Noticed.

Hi Everyone

This week I talk about getting your emails noticed.

The first part of an email a recipient reads is the ‘From Line”.

You have a few choices what to use here, including:

* Your company name: (i.e. Johansen International);

* Your name: (i.e. Kurt Johansen);

* The position name of someone in your business: (i.e. CEO – Johansen International);

* The email loyalty program name: (VIP Club – Johansen International); OR

* your name and a description of your services: (i.e. Kurt Johansen – Email Mastery).

The choice should be based on what you think most recipients are likely to recognize.

Your first and last name is quite a useful relationship building technique but it must be recognisable to your recipients.

If you are sending to a list of people who know you and are expecting your emails then you may use your names successfully. i.e Kurt Johansen.

This particular ‘FROM’ technique works especially well for small businesses who have a personal relationship with their clients.

But…

If you are sending to a list as an employee or from a business where the business name is primarily known then it may be wise to use the business name. i.e. Johansen International.

Whatever you choose be consistent.  If you change, it may confuse your recipients which could lead to ‘unsubscribes’.

Please DO NOT use “sales@abccompany”, or “admin@abccompany” etc. as these will not help build a relationship with your lists.

Also keep in mind many emails are now read on mobile phones. Therefore it also pays to get your ‘FROM’ line identified early. i.e “Kurt Johansen – Email Mastery” rather than “Email Mastery – Kurt Johansen”;

An often overlooked element of the FROM line is a person’s email address. Try to avoid using ‘Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail addresses if you email market. Use your email address. i.e kurt@johanseninternational.com.au

Your real address will render a more personal touch when it comes to email marketing.  If you do not wish people to reply to the FROM email address (as it is your personal email address) this can be organised.

Email Marketing programs allow you to program where the return/reply email should be directed to.

So, make sure you have your FROM line correctly set up if you wish to succeed in Email Marketing.  If you need help contact me. We can get you into a professional Email Marketing system for only $49.50 per month.
